What is a DC compressor?

Direct current compressor (DC) is a specialized, portable machine that receives power from the car battery for pumping air into objects such as an air tool or a flat tire. Most general compressors are large and heavy; They are not suitable for placing in the rear of the truck or trunk of the car. On the other hand, the DC compressor is designed to be small and compact for reliable road use.

Compressors use an internal engine, supplemented by the piston, to enforce air into the machine tank. When the air accumulates inside the tank, the molecules become more compact and denser. When the compressor is connected to an item such as a flat tire, the pressure air is released into an item for inflation. The air movement is extremely fast, causing the tire to fill quickly; This is particularly useful on busy roads or motorways where the vehicle breakdown can be very dangerous. In fact, this porcompressor of the table usually comes with alligator clips as standard.These "V" clips are connected to positive and negative columns on the vehicle battery for immediate power. Consumers should be careful when attaching clips, as it can easily result in electric shock, causing injury or even death.

There are two main disadvantages to this type of compressor - low battery power and tank size. A vehicle with an older battery may have a sufficient voltage to start the normal electrical system of the car, but adding a DC compressor can cause reduced air volumes or may not work at all. The consumer should make sure that the vehicle battery is relatively new to generate sufficient supplementary energy for the DC compressor. Sometimes it may seem that the compressor does not work when it is really a lack of battery energy.

Because it is a portable compressor, the tank is relatively small. The DC compressor will have to run frequentI in order to fill the tank during use. As an alternative, some DC compressors are considered tankless. These compressors simply generate pressure air on request, but require a stronger engine to master extra work.

The small size of the DC compressor generates a lot of residual heat. Many compressor users add forced air systems to the external machine. This cooling system pushes the cold outer air against the compressor and keeps the engine components cool. Reducing heat on the compressor will allow him to have a longer life.
