ABOUT COMPRESSOR DUTY CYCLE:
Compressor Duty Cycle refers to amount of time a compressor can be operated in a given time
period, at 100 PSI & at a standard ambient temperature of 72°F.
Duty Cycle is commonly expressed as:
Compressor On Time / (Compressor On Time + Off Time)
As an example, a compressor that is rated for 20% duty cycle means that compressor can be
operated at 100 PSI @ 72°F for 8 Minutes and rested for 32 Minutes.
8 min. on / (8 min. on + 32 min. off) = 20% Duty Cycle
