Why Choose a Basemount Petrol Compressor?
Receiver & System Sizing
A basemount compressor does not include an air receiver. Where a receiver is required, its volume, pressure rating, safety equipment, controls and pipework must be correctly matched to the compressor and duty. A larger receiver stores more compressed air but does not increase the compressor's continuous airflow.
Typical Applications
Petrol Compressor Safety
Petrol engines produce carbon monoxide and other exhaust gases. Engine-driven compressors must not be operated indoors or in inadequately ventilated spaces. The installation must provide safe ventilation, exhaust management, guarding, secure mounting and adequate clearance from combustible materials and hot surfaces.
Petrol Basemount Air Compressor FAQs
How many current Tanair petrol basemount models are there?
The current category contains nine models covering stated outputs from 15 to 41 CFM.
Do basemount compressors include an air receiver?
No. These models are supplied without an integral receiver, so any separate receiver and controls need to be selected for the installation.
What is the difference between recoil and electric start?
Recoil start is manually pull-started. Electric-start models use an electrical starting system for easier starting, particularly useful on larger engines and frequent-use installations.
What does the speed-control B38B model do?
The current B38B-5.5-BM.S/SC listing includes speed control. Check the individual product specification and intended installation before ordering.
Can you help size the receiver and compressor?
Yes. Send us the required airflow, working pressure, tools, duty cycle and intended installation and we can help check the compressor and receiver requirement.
