Ingersoll-Rand Nirvana Variable Speed Air Compressors

Variable speed air compressors reduce energy costs by delivering only the air you need. Fixed speed compressors fill the tank with more air than needed then turn off, when the pressure drops too low they turn back on. Starting an air compressor takes a lot of energy. Many incentives such as tax rebates are offered from governments, municipalities and the like because of the energy savings gained from this technology.
