Air Compressor for Labs / Laboratories

What makes a good compressor for a laboratory? There are a number of different considerations when designing a compressed air system for a lab.

Lubricated vs. Oil-Less Compressor

Since oil-less compressor typically cost more than lubricated compressors, many labs prefer lubricated for budgetary reasons, if the application will allow it. Of course, all compressor but especially lubricated ones require regular maintenance. to make sure they are operating properly and efficiently.

Pressure Requirements
