Please note that while air flow (CFM) and pressure (PSI) are both important
in determining the turbine's ability to atomize coatings, pressure is the key.
All manufacturers rate their turbines in the range of 50-170 CFM at free flow
(turbine unrestricted, no hose or gun attached). Free flow turbine CFM as a
measure of performance is misleading. Whether the turbine produces 50 or
170 CFM, it will have enough air flow to support the gun, which uses up to
25 CFM. Pressure determines the actual flow and velocity of air moving
through the air cap. Higher turbine pressure produces higher flow and
higher velocity air at the air cap. This creates more turbulence at the nozzle,
thus providing the ability to break up and atomize more viscous coatings.
The air hose often is ignored, but it is a key element of the HVLP system.
Its function–transferring air from the power source to the gun–cannot be
overlooked. The CAPspray hose is specifically designed to withstand heat and
solvents, while remaining lightweight and pliable.
Hose Length
To determine the maximum air hose length with a turbine, use this general
rule of thumb: double the length of hose that comes standard with the
turbine. Example: If 20 feet of hose comes with the turbine, the painter
can use a maximum hose length of 40 feet. Just screw the hoses together to
extend the length.
