Specialists of the all-Ukrainian network of service stations told how to be guided when choosing a compressor in the catalog of the company's online store.

Why you need a compressor

A compressor is a device whose main task is to produce a constant flow of air at a given pressure. Compressors are electromechanical or based on a low-power internal combustion engine (rarely used). According to the type of power supply, electromechanical compressors are divided into those that are powered by a household AC network and those that are connected directly to the vehicle's power supply system (direct current).

The compressor can be used for various tasks:

  • compact car compressors for pumping wheels on the road, which are convenient to carry with you;
  • voluminous powerful models with a receiver for paintwork at service stations and for connecting pneumatic tools;
  • low-power miniature devices powered by a cigarette lighter, designed to inflate mattresses, pools, inflatable furniture, etc. - everything that is convenient to carry with you on vacation in the trunk of a car.
