THOMAS PUMPS 2688CE44 Piston Air Compressor / Vacuum Pump, 1/3 Hp, 115 Vac, Grey Finish

Thomas 2688CE44 piston air compressor / vacuum pump is used for compressing air and delivering gases at high pressure in oil refineries, gas pipelines, chemical plants and natural gas processing plants.

Working Mechanism:

• A piston compressor works using two stainless steel valve discs and a valve system.
• The largest disc flexes to fold downward, enabling the air to flow after the piston advances downward to suck air into the cylinder.
• The big disc then flexes once again to seal against the valve seat as the piston rises.

Features:

• It is equipped with a heavy-duty flexible piston cup and shaded-pole motor with high-power start windings.
• This WOB-L piston pump has a corrosion-resistant sandwich valve that stops foreign particles from lodging on valve seats.
• It offers quiet operation and a continuous-duty rated option.

Standards and Approvals:

• UL
• CSA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the intensity of noise produced by Thomas 2688CE44 Piston Air Compressor / Vacuum Pump?

A. This pump produces a noise of 63 dBA.

Q. Which compressor is better between a rotary and piston compressor?

A. The rotary vane compressors have better energy efficiency & cost-effectiveness, more uptime, higher air quality and longer service life than piston compressors.

Q. What are WOB-L piston pumps?

A. They are dry-running reciprocating pumps in which the energy from the rotary motor is transformed into the linear motion of the piston inside the pump cylinder.
