Description
A 100L (Litre) 8 Bar setup describes a medium-to-heavy duty air compressor designed for workshops, automotive garages, light industrial settings, and serious DIY applications. While specifications can vary slightly by brand (such as Ingco, Total, or Pulsar), compressors matching this tank size and pressure threshold almost universally share a foundational set of features:
Core Performance & Specifications
- Tank Capacity: A 100-litre receiver tank . This provides a substantial buffer of stored air, letting you run pneumatic tools continuously with fewer motor cycles and faster recovery times.
- Maximum Pressure: 8 Bar / 116 PSI . This pressure capability is more than enough to drive standard pneumatic tools like impact wrenches, air nailers, high-pressure spray guns, and tire changers.
- Motor/Engine Output: Generally paired with a 3HP (2.2 kW) electric motor or a 6.5HP–7.5HP petrol engine for mobile/off-grid variants.
- Air Delivery/Displacement: Typically yields an output between 200 to 280 Litres per minute (L/min) , determining how many air tools can run concurrently.
Standard Hardware & Safety Features
- Dual Pressure Gauges & Regulator: Features one pressure gauge to show the current pressure inside the 100L tank and a second gauge linked to an adjustable control valve to set exact output pressure to your tool.
- Automatic Pressure Switch: Built-in "Auto Cut-In / Cut-Out" system. It safely shuts off the motor once pressure peaks at 8 Bar and restarts it when pressure drops (usually around 5–6 Bar).
- Safety Release Valve & Drain Valve: Includes a spring-loaded ring valve that manually or automatically vents excess air if pressure gets unsafely high, alongside a bottom drain valve to clear rust-causing moisture buildup from inside the steel tank.
- Thermal Overload Protection: Protects the motor coils from burning out due to sudden voltage drops or over-extended run cycles.
- Portability Mechanics: Despite weighing anywhere from 45kg to 90kg depending on build materials, these units come equipped with a pull handle and rugged transport wheels for mobility across floor spaces
Specification
| Specification Category | Parameter | Typical Standard Value |
|---|---|---|
| Specification Parameter | Typical Value / Range | Additional Context |
| Tank Capacity | 100 Litres (approx. 26.4 Gallons) | Steel receiver tank. |
| Motor Power | 3.0 HP / 2.2 kW | Usually equipped with a heavy-duty copper wire motor. |
| Air Displacement / Flow | 12.5 – 14.6 CFM (approx. 240 – 355 L/min) | Varies by cylinder efficiency and configuration. |
| Maximum Pressure | 8 – 10 Bar (116 – 145 PSI) | Automatically managed by a pressure switch. |
| Pump Configuration | Twin-cylinder / 2-Piston | Commonly belt-driven oil-lubricated cast iron or aluminum. |
| Pump / No-Load Speed | 1,100 – 2,850 RPM | Lower RPM pumps (belt-driven) run cooler and last longer. |
| Voltage & Electrical | 220V – 240V @ 50/60 Hz | Single-phase electric setup suitable for standard shops. |
| Noise Level | 75 – 92 dB | Sound relies heavily on whether the unit uses a silent casing. |
| Approximate Weight | 60 – 76 kg | Often includes integrated wheels and a pull handle. |
