A diesel-powered, high-pressure air compressor is rated at 1,100 cfm and has a pressure range from 150 to 350 psi. The self-contained, 100% oil-free compressor has a "save all" base that eliminates fuel spills and oil leaks, making it one of the most environmentally friendly high-pressure units available. The diesel-driven engine stays well within the boundaries of the EPA and CARB emissions regulations. A complete line of accessories for the compressor is also available, ranging from aftercoolers to --40[degrees]F desiccant dryers and filters. Air compressor manufacturer, P.K. Lindsay, Deerfield, N.H., has been sold to American Eagle Accessories Group, Garner, la., a division of Stellar autoheaters Industries Inc. The Lindsay air compressors are sold under the Lindsay and E.L. Smith brand names. All Lindsay compressor assets have been moved to American Eagle''s Garner plant and resumed full production. American Eagle is also a distributor of various truck-related accessories. According to the company, the FRL series of compressed air filters, regulators, lubricators, and manual control valves provides efficient moisture and contaminant removal, accurate pressure regulation, and precision lubrication for all air-operated equipment applications. All of the components in the series are available individually or in combination units. According to the company, its compressed-air productivity tools cut energy costs by as much as 70%, while reducing the compressor burden and shop noise levels. A 24-pg application manual shows bow these accessories provide solutions to spot chilling (to -40[degrees]F), dry machining, blow-off, control cooling, air conveying, static, liquid transfer, and spill pick-up. The products meet OSHA noise and dead-end pressure requirements. Welding shops require many types of equipment, including power supplies, guns, torches, wire feeders, autoheaters flux-handling devices, and accessories such as cables and ground clamps, as well as consumables-filler metals, fluxes, and shielding gases. For brazing, shops employ furnaces and custom-built fixtures.

The new Air Daddy makes it simple to inflate balls, air mattresses, swimming aids and other recreational equipment. Attach the threaded end to a portable air compressor, gas station hose or bicycle pump and the Air Daddy becomes a high-pressure air pump. Included are two adapters that are designed for small and large inflation holes. The ergonomic design makes it easy to grip in the palm of the hand. Sized to fit easily in small medical and lab equipment, fuel cells, and mass spectrometers, the tiny Model P5H7 scroll pump delivers up to 10 psi and has a no-load flow of 0.14 cfm. Quiet and inherently vibration-free, it is available in aluminum or economical injection-molded plastic. Pump can be adapted for liquids and is suitable for use in disposable applications. The Vilter Mini-Screw (VSM) is a rotary, positive-displacement compressor that incorporates a main screw and two gate rotors. The compact design has no external tubing, no gearbox, and an optional oil pump. In addition, the VSM is quieter than twin-screw compressors. Champion offers the HGR6-3K reciprocating air compressor model in the R Series line. This engine driven, splash-lubricated compressor is a two-stage pump. The unit has been engineered with an integral cylinder head, which does not require head gaskets. This design eliminates the possibility of blown head gaskets. A 0.5-hp scroll compressor/vacuum pump is an oil-free unit that provides less than 1 Torr of vacuum or 20 psig of compressed air on ventilators, aspirators, oxygen concentrators, and blood-pressure monitors. The scroll design offers smooth, pulse-free operation, and with only one moving part, scroll machines usually last the lifetime of the equipment in which they are integrated. Single-stage compressor/vacuum pumps can be used in laboratories, electronics-manufacturing applications, and in the energy industry for fuel cells and microturbines. Used as a vacuum source, the 0.5-hp unit provides < 1 Torr ultimate vacuum with a pumping speed of 3.5 cfm. In compressor mode, the unit provides 3 cfm at 20 psig, with max open flow of 3.5 cfm. A four-pole ac motor powers the compressor/vacuum pump.
