TAT – 2008 Oil Free Air Compressor

When selecting an air compressor for a workshop, service station, or light industrial application, users often need to balance several factors at the same time. Power output, tank capacity, working pressure, air delivery, noise, overall dimensions, and transportation efficiency all affect whether a compressor is suitable for a specific working environment.

The TAT-2008 is a compact air compressor configuration designed around a 2 HP motor, an 8-liter air tank, and a maximum pressure of 10 bar. Its relatively small footprint and manageable weight make it suitable for applications where compressed air is required without the need for a large stationary compressor system.

2 HP Motor for Compact Compressed-Air Equipment

The motor is one of the first specifications to consider when evaluating an air compressor. The TAT-2008 is equipped with a 2 HP motor, providing a practical power level for compact compressed-air equipment.

The motor operates at different speeds depending on the power frequency. At 50 Hz, the rated speed is 1,400 RPM, while at 60 Hz, it reaches 1,700 RPM.

This difference is important for international buyers because electrical frequency varies between markets. Confirming the required frequency before ordering helps ensure that the compressor configuration is appropriate for the intended installation environment.

For workshops and equipment users, motor speed should not be evaluated separately from air delivery, pressure, cooling, and operating conditions. A higher rotational speed does not automatically mean that a compressor is better for every application. The complete operating specification needs to match the actual air demand.

8-Liter Tank for Intermittent Air Demand

The TAT-2008 uses an 8-liter air tank, equivalent to approximately 2.1 gallons.

For compact compressors, tank capacity plays an important role in how compressed air is stored and supplied. Instead of relying entirely on instantaneous air production, the tank provides a reserve of compressed air that can support intermittent air demand.

An 8-liter tank is particularly relevant for users who do not require continuous high-volume compressed air. It helps keep the overall equipment size relatively compact while still providing a basic storage capacity.

When selecting a compressor, however, tank volume should not be considered the same as actual air output. Buyers should look at tank size together with flow rate, maximum pressure, duty cycle, and the requirements of the connected pneumatic equipment.

10 Bar Maximum Pressure for Flexible Applications

The TAT-2008 has a maximum pressure of 10 bar, equivalent to approximately 145 psi.

Maximum pressure is an important specification when matching an air compressor with pneumatic tools and equipment. The required pressure should always be determined by the operating requirements of the application rather than simply choosing the highest available pressure.

For example, some pneumatic equipment may require stable compressed air within a specific pressure range, while other applications may only need occasional compressed-air supply. Maintaining an appropriate pressure level can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption and ensure that connected equipment operates within its intended conditions.

The 10-bar specification gives the TAT-2008 a practical pressure range for a variety of compact compressed-air applications, subject to the requirements of the actual pneumatic system.

Air Delivery at 50 Hz and 60 Hz

Air delivery is another key specification that should be checked before purchasing a compressor.

According to the provided specifications, the TAT-2008 delivers:

• 137 L/min at 50 Hz

• 166 L/min at 60 Hz

• 4.84 CFM at 50 Hz

• 5.87 CFM at 60 Hz

These figures allow users to compare the compressor's output with the air consumption of their tools or equipment.

When making a selection, it is better to leave a reasonable operating margin rather than selecting a compressor whose output only matches the theoretical air consumption of the tool. Pneumatic equipment may have changing air demand during operation, and actual working conditions can differ from laboratory or rated conditions.

Therefore, air delivery, pressure, and application duty cycle should be evaluated together.

62 dB(A) Noise Level for More Comfortable Operation

Noise is an increasingly important consideration for compact compressors, especially when equipment is used close to operators.

The TAT-2008 has a specified noise level of 62 dB(A). This provides buyers with a measurable reference when comparing different compressor configurations.

Noise performance can be particularly relevant in workshops, maintenance areas, service facilities, and other environments where operators may spend extended periods near the equipment.

Of course, the actual perceived noise in a working environment can also be affected by installation conditions, surrounding surfaces, ventilation, operating load, and the distance between the compressor and the operator. For this reason, the rated noise figure should be considered as part of the overall equipment evaluation.

Compact Dimensions Make Transportation Easier

The TAT-2008 measures approximately 48 × 40 × 43 cm.

Compact dimensions can provide several practical advantages. Equipment with a smaller footprint is easier to position in workshops where floor space is limited. It can also simplify transportation and storage between different work areas.

The compressor has a gross weight of approximately 20 kg, or 44 lbs. This is another important factor for mobile or semi-mobile applications where equipment may need to be relocated.

For distributors and importers, compact packaging can also make logistics planning more straightforward. The supplied packaging specification is one unit per carton, with carton dimensions corresponding to the overall package size.

Container Loading Capacity for Bulk Distribution

For international buyers, product performance is only one part of the purchasing decision. Transportation efficiency can also influence procurement planning.

The provided loading information indicates that approximately:

• 335 units can be loaded into a 20-foot container

• 700 units can be loaded into a 40-foot container

For distributors and wholesalers, container loading efficiency is useful when planning inventory and shipment quantities. Compact equipment can make better use of available container space, particularly when the product is distributed across multiple markets.

Actual loading quantities may depend on packaging arrangements, container configuration, and loading methods, so logistics teams should confirm final shipping specifications before shipment.

How to Evaluate the TAT-2008 for Your Application

Rather than selecting a compressor based on motor horsepower alone, buyers should evaluate several specifications together.

For the TAT-2008, the key parameters include:

This specification combination shows that the TAT-2008 is positioned as a compact compressor rather than a high-capacity central compressed-air system.

Matching Compressor Capacity to Actual Air Demand

One of the most common mistakes when selecting compressed-air equipment is focusing on maximum pressure while overlooking air consumption.

A compressor may reach the required pressure but still be unsuitable if its air delivery is insufficient for the connected tool. Conversely, selecting excessive compressor capacity for a small intermittent application can increase equipment size and operating requirements without providing meaningful benefits.

For the TAT-2008, the rated air delivery of 137 L/min at 50 Hz and 166 L/min at 60 Hz provides a starting point for determining application compatibility.

Before installation, users should identify the air consumption of each pneumatic device, determine whether operation is continuous or intermittent, and consider whether multiple tools may operate simultaneously.

Practical Applications for Compact Air Compressors

A compressor with the TAT-2008 specification profile can be considered for applications where moderate compressed-air output and compact equipment dimensions are important.

Potential application environments include small workshops, maintenance operations, service facilities, pneumatic equipment support, and other light-duty compressed-air applications where the required flow rate remains within the compressor's rated capacity.

The final application should always be confirmed based on actual tool requirements, operating pressure, duty cycle, ambient conditions, and installation requirements.

Conclusion

The TAT-2008 combines a 2 HP motor, 8-liter tank, 10-bar maximum pressure, and compact 48 × 40 × 43 cm dimensions into a practical compressed-air equipment configuration. Its rated air delivery reaches 137 L/min at 50 Hz and 166 L/min at 60 Hz, while the specified noise level is 62 dB(A).

For users and distributors, these specifications provide a clear basis for evaluating whether the compressor matches a particular application. The key is to consider motor power, air delivery, tank capacity, pressure, noise, dimensions, weight, and electrical frequency as one complete system rather than relying on a single specification.

For compact workshops and applications with moderate or intermittent compressed-air requirements, this type of configuration can offer a useful balance between air capacity, equipment size, and handling convenience.
