Abstract
An integrated shop vacuum and air compressor system is provided with a wet and dry vacuuming section and a compressor section, each of which is mounted on an easy to relocate trolley with at least three wheels. The vacuum system has a separate motor from the compressor and is independently operable with full capacity. The vacuum hose decreases in diameter as a function of distance from the unit to increase airflow velocity. Air pressure within a compressed air storage tank in the compressor section is sensed and controlled. Either or both of the vacuum section and/or compressor section further comprises an air heating unit appointed to heat air adapted to be dispersed by either or both a blower integrated within the vacuum section or through the compressor section. The integrated shop vacuum and air compressor system provides dry vacuuming, wet vacuuming, high pressure air delivery and heated or non-heated air blowing capability from a single, mobile unit.
