COMPRESSOR APPLICATION GUIDE:

ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:

Compressor Duty Cycle refers to amount of time a compressor

can be operated in a given time period, at 100 PSI & at a

standard ambient temperature of 72°F.

Duty Cycle is commonly expressed as:

Compressor On Time / (Compressor On Time + Off Time)

As an example, a compressor that is rated for 20% duty cycle

means that compressor can be operated at 100 PSI @ 72°F

for 8 Minutes and rested for 32 Minutes.

8 min. on / (8 min. on + 32 min. off) = 20% Duty Cycle
