The size of the air compressor needed for a Tornador cleaning gun depends on its air consumption requirements, typically measured in terms of CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). Here are some general guidelines to help you determine the size of air compressor suitable for a Tornador cleaning gun:

1. Air Pressure (PSI):

   • Most Tornador cleaning guns operate effectively within a pressure range of 60-90 PSI (4-6 bar).
   • Ensure your air compressor can provide a stable air pressure within this range.

2. Air Flow (CFM):

   • CFM refers to the volume of air delivered by the compressor per minute. The CFM requirement varies depending on the specific model of the Tornador gun.
   • Typically, Tornador guns require around 5-7 CFM at 90 PSI for optimal performance. Some models may have higher CFM requirements.

3. Tank Size:

   • The tank size of the air compressor affects how long it can sustain the required CFM output before needing to recharge.
   • For intermittent use, a smaller tank size (around 20-30 gallons) may suffice. For more continuous or heavy-duty use, consider a larger tank (over 30 gallons) to maintain consistent air supply.

4. Portable vs. Stationary:

   • Portable air compressors are convenient for mobility but may have smaller tank sizes and lower CFM output. Stationary compressors are larger and typically offer higher CFM and tank capacity.

General Recommendations:

• For Small to Medium Tasks: A portable air compressor with a tank size of around 20-30 gallons and a CFM rating suitable for the cleaning gun's requirements (typically 5-7 CFM at 90 PSI) should suffice for occasional use.

• For Continuous or Heavy-Duty Use: Consider a larger stationary air compressor with a tank size of 30 gallons or more and higher CFM output (7-10 CFM or higher at 90 PSI) to ensure a steady air supply and consistent performance.

• Check Manufacturer Recommendations: Always refer to the specific recommendations provided by the manufacturer of your cleaning gun regarding air pressure and CFM requirements. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of both the cleaning gun and the air compressor.

By selecting an air compressor that meets or exceeds the air pressure and CFM requirements of your Tornador cleaning gun, you can ensure efficient and effective cleaning operations across various surfaces and applications.
