What is the difference between FAD and Displacement?

To the uninitiated or first-time buyer of an air compressor, getting an understanding of the specification of each model can be tricky. For one thing, there are so many different terms and abbreviations involved.

Two terms that you’ll often see applied to a reciprocating air compressor are within the volume flow – Displacement & Free air Delivery (FAD). So, the inevitable questions are: what do these terms mean and what is the difference?

Displacement (Theoretical) measurements refer solely to the nominal capability of an air compressor’s pump – in other words, the actual volume of air the pump can displace (draw into the compressor) per minute. This figure is based upon the size of the pump’s cylinders and the speed at which the pump operates. Displacement should not be used as an indicator of an air compressors’ ability to run a particular air tool or its suitability to perform a certain task.

Free Air Delivery FAD (Actually Delivered) is a far more useful measurement when determining the ‘power’ of an air compressor i.e. it’s suitability for use with air tools etc. FAD stands for Free Air Delivery, and this is the volume of compressed air that an air compressor will actually discharge as a result of the compression process.

FAD is typically a third less than Displacement (but it can be more). In other words, the volume of compressed air actually delivered is approximately a third lower than the volume of atmospheric air that an air compressor is capable of displacing. For example if your compressor is 10 CFM (Displacement) then the CFM (FAD) in reality will be about 6.5 CFM

Dental Compressors
  • Oil free compressor
  • Integrated fine filter
  • Optional sound enclosure
  • Up to 18.5 cfm delivery
  • Built in desiccant dryer

Compressed air systems for dental practices, clinics and laboratories have to meet the strictest requirements: In addition to providing the very best in efficiency, reliability and compressed air quality. These proven dental compressors combine exceptional performance with compact design. Highly durable and reliable, each unit is virtually maintenance-free and provides oil-free air with minimal power consumption. They are the perfect choice for dental practices with up to 12 treatment units and for medical and dental laboratory uses.

Booster Units
  • Initial incoming pressures up to 13 bar
  • Output pressures up to 45 bar
  • Optional Nitrogen use
  • Energy saving IE3 motors fitted
  • Acoustic hood option available

The ability to offer compressed air at various pressures makes it one of the most versatile energy sources available. Special applications require specifically tailored solutions in order to achieve optimum efficiency.
Boosters are ideal for applications where compressed air is required at a higher pressure than the standard works or control air at particular points in the manufacturing process. In these cases, it is more economical to use the existing works air and boost it to the higher pressure with a small local compressor, rather than to operate the whole compressed air system at the higher pressure.
