Six Indispensable Factors for Correct Air Compressor Selection!
Dec 12 , 2025
As the core of industrial power, selecting the right air compressor model not only matches production needs but also achieves long-term energy savings. These 6 key selection factors will help you choose the correct equipment quickly.

1. Discharge Pressure & Airflow Rate: Matching Requirements is Fundamental

  • Reserve a 10%-20% margin for airflow rate (opt for 20% if the installation distance is long or additional equipment may be added later) to avoid "insufficient power for tools" or "energy waste due to frequent start-stop cycles."
  • Calculate system losses (e.g., filtration, pipeline resistance) when determining discharge pressure. If there is a significant pressure difference between different equipment, selecting separate compressors for each will be more cost-effective.

2. Energy Efficiency Ratio: Prioritize Higher Grades for Better Energy Savings

Energy efficiency = Power ÷ Airflow Rate, classified into three grades:
  • Grade 1: (Internationally Advanced): Most energy-efficient;
  • Grade 2: Relatively energy-efficient;
  • Grade 3: Domestic average level.

3. Air Usage Scenarios: Choose Air-Cooled or Water-Cooled Models as Needed

  • Air-cooled models: Suitable for environments with good ventilation and limited space;
  • Water-cooled models: Ideal for high air consumption scenarios with good water quality.

4. Compressed Air Quality: Just Enough to Meet Requirements

  • Oil-injected compressors: Refer to national standards;
  • Oil-free compressors: Refer to international standards;
  • There’s no need to pursue "extreme purity"—matching production needs is sufficient. Excessive purification will increase costs.

5. Safety: Select Certified Manufacturers

Air storage tanks with a capacity of over 1 cubic meter are classified as special equipment. Verify the manufacturer’s production qualifications before selection.

6. After-Sales Service: Evaluate Response Speed & Professionalism

Beyond warranty coverage, focus on the timeliness of fault response and the professionalism of maintenance services to minimize downtime losses.
