The supply tank is large enough to supply air for up to three workstations, making the ACWS an economical choice for new labs or for upgrading existing nitrogen-bottle configurations. The ultra-quiet compressor operates intermittently, based on air usage and is monitored by a sensor that maintains the reserve tank's preset minimum pressure. All required hardware, such as the safety valve, gauges, outlet port, fittings and drain, comes as standard.
