Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between E1 and E3?
E1 refers to single-phase electric drive and E3 refers to three-phase electric drive. Both deliver the same 10.8 SCFM at 5000 PSI — the difference is the power supply your facility uses. Contact Max-Air if you need help choosing the right configuration.

What pressure and flow does it deliver?
Up to 5000 PSI at a charge rate of 10.8 SCFM (18.4 m³/hr).

Is it built for continuous use?
Yes. The Max-Air 90 Standard is a continuous-duty compressor designed for ongoing, high-volume filling rather than occasional single fills.

Can it charge storage banks and cascade systems?
Yes. Its output makes it well suited to charging high-pressure storage and cascade systems as well as filling cylinders directly. If you’re weighing direct filling against adding storage, see our guide on cascade air systems.
