Re: AM Compressor versus Thomas Compressor

I found the specifications for the Thomas compressor here http://www.gd-thomas.com/product.aspx?id=12084&tp=p .

To summarize

Flow
Viair 1.03 CFM @ 0psi
Thomas .80 CFM @ 0psi

Max continous pressure
Viair 120psi
Thomas 100.1psi

Duty cycle
Viair 9%
Thomas Not rated

Max on time
Viair >3min 3sec
Thomas Not rated

Weight
Viair 2.4lbs
Thomas 4.4lbs

Outlets
Viair 1
Thomas 2

Current draw
Viair 10a
Thomas 10.5a

Check valve included ?
Viair Yes
Thomas No



Yes the external head temp of the Viair will get higher than the Thomas due to its lower thermal mass and the fact that it has more cooling fins to pull the heat from the compression chamber but that is a good thing since it likely means lower internal temps.
