Equipment Characteristics Capabilities, and Features. The Diving Air Compressor is a diesel engine driven compressor capable of providing compressed air to 200 psi and flow rates to 88.5 SCFM. The diesel engine and accessories, air compressor, and two air receivers are all mounted on a single frame assembly which allows for rapid deployment. A control panel, mounted to the frame, allows the operator to monitor the diesel engine and air compressor during operations. 1-8. Location and Description of Major Components. DIESEL ENGINE (1).
