Abstract
A compressor assembly having a tank seal which seals a tank gap between a portion of a housing of the compressor assembly and a portion of a compressed gas tank and a method for controlling the sound level of a compressor assembly by configuring a tank seal to seal a gap between the housing of a compressor assembly and a compressed gas tank. The sound level of the compressor assembly can be controlled by sealing a tank gap between at least a portion of a compressor assembly housing and at least a portion of a compressed gas tank.
Claims20
A compressor assembly, comprising:
- a tank seal which seals a tank gap between a portion of a housing of the compressor assembly and a portion of a compressed gas tank;
- and
- a sound level of the compressor assembly which is in a range of from 65 dBA to 75 dBA when the compressor assembly is in a compressing state.
A method for controlling the sound level of a compressor assembly, comprising the steps of:
- providing a compressor assembly having a housing;
- providing a compressed gas tank;
- configuring the housing and compressed gas tank to have tank gap between the housing and the compressed gas tank;
- providing a tank seal;
- and
- sealing the tank gap with the tank seal.
A means for controlling the sound level of a compressor assembly, comprising a means to seal a tank gap between at least a portion of a housing and at least a portion of a compressed gas tank and operating the compressor assembly in a range of from 65 dBA to 75 dBA when the compressor assembly is in a compressing state.
