Find out the flow rate you will require. The flow rate is the maximum volume of air that must move through your entire system per minute or per second. This will be measured in cubic feet per minute, liters per second, or cubic meters per hour. Include a safety margin of about 30%.

So for example for applications that require pressures of up to 10 bar with flow rates up to m3/h, screw compressors are the best fit. For larger flow rates requirements centrifugal compressors would be more economical. For high pressure requirements, say 14 bar to about 300 bar, reciprocating air compressors or piston compressors will be best because of their energy efficiency.
Intermittent duty-cycles require a compressor that is energy efficient in that scenario. You might even want a compressor that will adapt to an increased workload because you plan to expand your facility soon. Knowing if your compressed air demand is continuous or intermittent, or a mix between, will help you decide. You could benefit from a fixed speed or variable speed drive compressor. Identifying the correct compressor air regulation will save you a huge amount of energy over the lifetime of your compressor.
And finally consider the usage, configuration, and space limitations you might have. You might want something that is easily moveable, or fully portable. You might have ample room to spare and be fine with something that is stationary but prefer it to be as quiet as possible.
Once youve become clear on your requirements then its a matter of reviewing the spec sheets of air compressors and finding one that meets the criteria. This is where you will benefit from the knowledge of experts who can review your facility and guide your decision. Some air compressor manufacturers offer free audits to help customers make the right choice.
