INGERSOLL-RAND 2340 Air Compressor Pump 2 Stage

Ingersoll Rand 2340 compressor pump is used to compress air supply for use in various air-powered applications like gas cylinder filling, operating pneumatic HVAC systems or tools and filling tires in automotive service shops, machine shops, production & manufacturing lines and more. Ingersoll Rand 2340 air compressor pump combines with a vertical air cylinder & a 5 hp motor, offering continuous air compressing operation.

Working Mechanism:

• First, install the compressor pump securely by assembling & adjusting the flywheel, valves, selector switch & other parts and make electrical & piping connections with the motor & air cylinder. Fill the unit with an appropriate oil / lubricant for starting up the compressor pump.
• After the motor starts up, the flywheel on the compressor starts rotating to provide a stable power supply to twin-stage cylinders.
• The 2-stage cylinder crankshafts start moving up & down like in an engine for intaking air through the air intake filters and pressurising air in stages.
• Users can control the valves for sending the pressurised gas to air cylinders for further applications.

Features:

• Ingersoll Rand 2340 compressor pump uses a flywheel that rotates to smoothen velocity fluctuations of the accurately-balanced overhung crankshaft and ensure quiet operation.
• It has an inlet air filter for preventing contaminants from entering inside the pump unit.
• This Ingersoll Rand pump has 2 stage cylinders for delivering 14 cfm air at a maximum air pressure of 175 psi.
• The cylinders are attached to a one-piece connecting rod & the crankshaft with few wearing parts for ease of maintenance & service.
• Ingersoll Rand pump features an oil fill port for periodic refilling of lubricating oil.
• Its internal components are lubricated using the splash lubrication technique. Splash lubrication is the splashing of the lubricant upwards to the cylinders by scooping oil from the oil sump using the big ends of the connecting rods for creating oil mist or droplets on them. These oil droplets pass through the bearings and lubricate the moving parts.
• Ingersoll Rand compressor pump has a 0.5-inch NPT outlet for delivering pressurised air.
• Ingersoll Rand 2340 pump has cast iron construction with finger valve for durability, preventing bending / breaking due to harsh usage and increasing volumetric efficiency.

Compatible Accessories:

• Ingersoll Rand 38440228 Compressor Oil Coolant: It cools and lubricates an air compressor's interior parts to promote smooth performance, lessen wear, guard against corrosion and stop air loss. With a viscosity index of 128, this coolant has a flash point of 480 degrees F.

Standards and Approvals:

• ISO 9001

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the oil capacity of this Ingersoll Rand 2340 compressor pump?

A. Ingersoll Rand 2340 compressor pump has an oil capacity of 28 fluid ounces.

Q. What safety points users should note while using Ingersoll Rand 2340 compressor pump?

A.

• There should be enough space around the compressor pump for sucking in air from the surrounding.
• Use lifting equipment if necessary for mounting the pump over the air cylinder.
• Use flexible piping at the compressor discharge outlets for long life.
• Properly ground the unit for safe operation.
• Do not operate without an appropriate level of lubricant.
• Ensure that the direction of flywheel rotation matches the markings on the motor or belt drive cover.

Q. What factors must be considered before purchasing air compressor pumps?

A.

• Users should check whether they require rotary or reciprocating type pumps and whether the applications require single-stage or multi-stage operation. Multi-stage pumps generally produce higher pressurised air than single-stage pumps.
• They should also note the power rating (in horsepower - hp) of an air compressor pump. Higher the horsepower, the higher the cost. So, choose a power rating according to your application requirements.
• Specific applications require a specific amount of air pressure and airflow rate. Maximum air pressure and rate & volume of airflow offered by an air compressor pump should match the application before purchasing. CFM (cubic feet per minute) denotes the maximum quantity of air a compressor can produce at a preset pressure level.
