Medical Air Manifolds
In smaller facilities that are not 24 hours locations, it is sometimes more economical to supply a medical air manifold instead of a medical air compressor. For the calculation use a standard medical air calculation process that you do regardless of source. The smallest medical air compressor is a 2HP scroll that does 7scfm. If you find your demand is much lower than that than a medical air manifold would be appropriate.
