2). Why use a compressed air regulator? By : Bill Wade
If you purchase a "do-it-yourself" type air compressor, or if you purchase any type of air compressor for that matter, check to make sure that it comes with an Air Regulator. If not, purchase one. You will be glad you did!
An air regulator is a device that lowers the downstream air pressure. Downstream air is the air that's moving from the regulator towards your application.

3). About compressed air filters! By : Bill Wade
If you are one of the many folks that have purchased or are considering purchasing a home compressor, you do want to have a bit of information about compressed air filters.
Compressing air generates a reservoir (receiver / air tank) full of wet, dirty, hot compressed air.
As the air leaves the tank, it carries the crud and free water along with it.

4). What to Look For When Purchasing an Air Compressor By : Ccolin
Compressors fall into three general areas; Small portable units like the Porter-Cable “Job Boss” often with one pancake or two small storage tanks, Mid-size units like Campbell-Hausfield, which normally have wheels, and large compressors have fixed bases for shops and industrial sites. In terms of capacities, smaller units start around 1.5 horse and larger unites can exceed 6 horse power motors.

5). Air Compressors - How To Choose One By : Philip Turner
There are three main types of air compressors. Which you need will depend on the air pressure you need and how portable your compressor needs to be.
Reciprocating compressors come in a range from 5 HP to 1000 HP. The smaller compressors are portable, sometimes being mounted on wheels. These may be petrol driven or electrically powered. They compress air by a series of pistons in cylinders.

6). Why care if there is water in your compressed air? By : Bill Wade
The process of compressing air generates free water, and increases air borne water vapour. If you are not sure about why this occurs, take a look at the article on this site entitled "Why does water run out my compressed air line?".
So what is the problem with a little - or perhaps a lot :-) - of water coming down the compressed air line along with the compressed air?
A simple answer may be that it depends on what you are using the compressed air for.

8). What's a 3/2 compressed air valve? By : Bill Wade
Recently, I published an article on this site titled: What's a 2/2 compressed air valve? Here, in the next installment in this series, is information on a slightly more complex air valve; the 3/2 style.
The first number in the 3/2 air valve, the three, refers to the number of "working" air ports that are found in the valve body. That is, the number of ports that supply air to the valve, and channel the compressed air to whatever it is that the valve is supposed to do.

The first 2 in the 2/2 air valve refers to the number of "working" air ports that are found in the valve body. That is, the number of ports that supply air to the valve, and channel the compressed air to whatever it is that the valve is supposed to do.
Most 2/2 valves will have numbers or letters etched, cast or painted near each of their two "working" air ports.
