INTRODUCTION 

 

The ACS-517B Oil-Less Compressed Air System is designed to be used as the air supply 

for a Thunder Scientific Model 2500  humidity generator.  The ACS-517B  consists of a 

vibration isolated oil-less piston compressor, membrane style air dryer, and output 

regulator, all incorporated into a sound muffling cabinet.  The ACS-517B  is ideal for 

laboratory use because of the its high pressure capability, 100% duty cycle capability, low 

sound level of less than 70 decibels, and long service life.
