    Does it have to be quiet, e.g. as a pressure source for a pipe organ?

    No, not really just looking for something that is compact and continues duty. Any Help would be appreciated.

    Thanks Again

    How about a bit more information? A better description of what you're looking for would be helpful. Here are a few things of importance when specifying an air compressor:

    Gasoline or Electric power -

    if electric, specifications (voltage, single/three phase)

    if gasoline, 2 stroke or 4 stroke (oil mix, no oil mix)

    Drive Method -

    direct drive or belt driven

    Configuration -

    tank or tankless
    portable or permanent
    if portable wheels or no wheels

    Dimension/Weight -

    approx. size (L x W x H)
    approx. weight if pertinant

    - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Just in passing, if this is a small (aka "compact") air compressor, the CFM rating seems awfully high. Did you mean for it to be 30 CFM?

    Regards,

    Programming can't be all that difficult, it's nothing but 1's and 0's

    Sorry for not giving all the specs!!

    It needs to be Tankless and 120VAC. Small is what I am very interested in locating.

    Thanks Again

    Perhaps you missed the end of my message, so I'm going to repeat it here, in case you did:

    "... the CFM rating seems awfully high. Did you mean for it to be 30 CFM?"

    I'm not sure one can be found that's tankless, 120 volt AND 30 CFM with 20 PSI pressure. That's asking an awful lot for a small compressor. Do you have a planned budgetary amount?

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates

    Yes 30CFM. Not really concerned with price but rather where to start finding such a critter...Basically using it for combustion chamber
