INGERSOLL-RAND 7100 Air Compressor Pump 2 Stage

Ingersoll Rand 7100 air compressor is designed to compress air and deliver it to an air-powered tool or air tank. It is ideal for the aerospace, automotive, chemical, construction, electronics, food & beverage, MRO, marine, metal & fabrication, mining, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, power generation and shipbuilding industries.

Working Mechanism:

• Ingersoll Rand 7100 air compressor compresses air in two stages.
• It comes with a piston that joins with the crankshaft through a connecting rod.
• The piston moves forward and backwards when the crankshaft rotates, to convert air into high-pressure air.
• The crankcase is connected to the crankshaft, whereas the valves are connected to a cylindrical head containing a valve cavity.
• Owing to the rotational movement of the crankshaft, the piston of the first cylinder also initiates its reciprocating motion.
• The piston sucks air through the filter and suction valve during this process.
• The piston of the low-pressure cylinder compresses the air to an intermediate-pressure air cooler where compressed air is cooled before transferring it to the other cylinder.
• Finally, the high-pressure air collects through the outlet valve.

Features:

• Has a 2-stage pump for continuous supply of compressed air.
• Cast iron construction for durability.
• 10 or 15 HP motor with counter-clockwise rotation at a maximum pumping speed of 800 or 1100 RPM, respectively.
• Equipped with overhung crankshaft and flywheel for superior balance and vibration damping.
• 1 inch NPT outlet to deliver air at pressure of 175 PSI.
• Splash lubricated pump and 2-1/2 qt oil capacity for smooth operation.
• Easily removable cylinders for effortless repair and reduced downtime.

Compatible Accessories:

• Ingersoll-Rand Start-Up Kits: Electric motor kits comprising 2 inlet air filters, all-season lubricant and a product data sheet.
• Ingersoll-Rand 38440228 Compressor Oil Coolants: Ideal for high & low-temperature applications. Allow the brand's reciprocating compressors to operate at 100% continuous duty.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between 1 and 2-stage air compressors?

A. The basic difference between a 1-stage and 2-stage air compressor is the number of times the air gets compressed. Air is compressed once in a 1-stage compressor, while it is compressed twice (for doubling the pressure) in a 2-stage compressor.

Q. Which is a better - one-stage or two-stage air compressor?

A. Two-stage air compressors deliver more airflow, run cooler and are more efficient than their one-stage counterparts.

Q. What maintenance tasks are required for this Ingersoll-Rand 7100 air compressor pump?

A. Regular maintenance includes oil changes, air filter replacements, belt tension adjustments and checking for air leaks. Refer to the manual for a comprehensive maintenance schedule.

Q. How can I troubleshoot common issues with this 2 stage air compressor pump?

A. Troubleshooting steps can vary by problem, but common issues include air leaks, pressure fluctuations and motor problems. Consult the product manual for troubleshooting guidance.

Q. What factors must be considered while purchasing Ingersoll-Rand air compressor pumps?

A.

• Users should check whether they require reciprocating or rotary-type pumps and whether the applications require a single-stage or multi-stage operation.
• They should also verify the power rating of an air compressor in horsepower (hp). Higher the horsepower, the higher the cost. So, choose the power rating according to 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.
