From the manifold(s) the air passes through the intercooler tubes, where the heat of first-stage compression is removed. On the compression stroke of the first-stage piston(s), the air is compressed to an intermediate pressure and discharged through the discharge valves(s) into common manifold(s). The basic principle of operation is as follows: On the suction stroke of the first-stage piston(s), air at atmospheric pressure enters the cylinders through the inlet filter(s) and then the inlet valves located in the head. Two-stage compressors consist of one or two first-stage cylinders with the same bore size and one second-stage cylinder with a smaller bore size. Supplementary service includes such uses as furnishing air at pressure not carried in regular shop lines, air at isolated locations, and standby service for air when larger compressors are shut down.

Application of these compressors as either a primary or supplementary source of air is virtually unlimited in industrial plants, service stations and auto repair shops.

These compressors may be used for a variety of compressed air application up to 250 PSIG (17.5 kg/cm²). Bare compressor pumps and baseplate-mounted units are also available. An air-cooled aftercooler, low oil level shutdown switch and automatic drain valve are among the optional accessories that can be furnished. Typical compressors are furnished as compact, self-contained, air receiver tank mounted units that are automatically regulated and driven by an electric motor or gasoline engine. Ingersoll-Rand’s standard two-stage lubricated air compressors are single-acting, air-cooled machines. We recommend you retain this manual, and all publications provided with your air compressor, in a location which is accessible to all personnel who operate and service your compressed air equipment.ĪPPLICATION _ If you are uncertain about any of the instructions or procedures provided in this manual, contact Ingersoll-Rand.
