Approximate application ranges in terms of ICFM and discharge pressure for four categories of compressors can be quickly approximated using Figure 100-11. Figures 100-12 through 100-16 provide further information to clarify the decision. These figures will help resolve conflicts in selection when the application falls into an area of overlap in Figure 100-11.
Note that the data used in these figures are generalized and there may be cases where a certain manufacturer has a design that will surpass the practical limits shown.
