Speedaire 4B237 stationary air compressor is an electric-powered pneumatic device that produces & stores compressed air in a storage tank. This Speedaire air compressor is ideal for pneumatic devices like inflation equipment, tire changers, nailers, pneumatic controls & spray guns in the automotive, food & beverage, medical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Working Mechanism:
- Choose a clean, well-ventilated location having enough clearance between the compressor flywheel & walls to install the unit.
- Mount the tank over the concrete floor or isolation pads to reduce vibrations.
- Place the motor & compressor over the tank using suitable accessories. Connect the motor, compressor & tank using belt drive flywheel & piping connection.
- Connect the motor to a grounded electrical connection.
- After the power is switched On & the motor starts up, the connected flywheel starts rotating to start up the compressor.
- The compressor's cylinder crankshafts & pistons start moving up & down to intake air.
- The pressurised gas is sent to the air cylinder / tank for further applications. An appropriate filter should be installed to receive air free from water or oil.
- The unit is controlled using an automatic start & stop pressure switch that stops the compressor once a preset receiver tank pressure is reached. When the receiver tank pressure goes below a preset minimum level, the pressure switch restarts the compressor pump again.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the points to remember while installing Speedaire 4B237 electric air compressor?
A.
- The electric air compressor should be placed in a location having required cooling airflow & ambient operating temperature.
- The exhaust heat generated should be removed using ducts.
- Area around the compressor should be kept clean.
- Pressure dew point of the exiting compressed air should be checked to determine proper installation.
Q. What are the factors used to choose the right electric air compressor?
A.
- Total CFM or the airflow rate required.
- Duty cycle or compressor working hours.
- Required air pressure.
- Electrical specifications like voltage, phase & current.
- Compressor tank size.
Q. How often does Speedaire 4B237 stationary air compressor require maintenance?
A.
- Oil level in the compressor needs to be checked daily along with draining the tank of any moisture collected.
- Air filter, safety valve and the unit need to be checked & cleaned weekly.
- Belt rotating the flywheel of the compressor needs to be checked for tightness at least once a month.
- Lastly, the oil needs to be changed / refilled in the compressor once a month.
