Compressor Application Guideline

™

Engineered and built for better performance today and tomorrow.

This useful Compressor Application Guide is a simple point system

using vehicle conguration and vocation options to help calculate the

Bendix compressor right for your vehicle. Review items 1 – 12, ll in the applicable points on each line, then refer to the application grid on page 2 for the proper Bendix compressor selections that can meet your vehicle’s intended use. When completing the worksheet, if a particular entry is not valid for your application, enter zero on that line. Page 3 of this guide provides several examples of how to use this helpful calculator.

Note 1: Vehicles equipped with either bulk off-loading, central tire ination, or used in city transit bus

applications should use a Bendix® BA-922® compressor… no further calculations required.

(See Note 1)

Note 2: To reduce the complexity of the “Fast Fill” system, Bendix recommends that a Bendix BA-922 compressor should be used on all re truck and aircraft rescue applications.

For generations, the Bendix name has meant quality, reliability and durability when it comes to your vehicle’s air charging system. Let us show you what we can do for you.

This compressor application matrix offers directional information when sizing a Bendix compressor for the applicable vehicle vocation. Testing should still be performed on the specic application to verify that the compressor remains within the 25% maximum allowable duty cycle. This application matrix assumes that all compressor installations use an air induction system that is naturally aspirated. The “Compressor Installation & Application Review” form explains the methods used to measure the vehicle’s duty cycle.
