Does this need an aircompressor or does it operate on room air?

This spray gun requires an HVLP spray unit not an air compressor. HVLP means high volume low pressure which reduces overspray and less material consumption. You can buy a conventional spray gun which does use an air compressor

Needs an air compressor, I'd recommend one with a 10-gallon capacity for any serious work.

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

It should handle the room, once you get it going. Several sites say it filters 176 cubic feet per minute. My unit is in an open area not contained in a room. I use it to filter damp odors that come up from the basement. I know it works because the area only has an odor when someone turns off the unit.

only one speed but will do the job if you need great air my wife bought one i was laughing when we got it then i felt the air, then i said sorry great for a bed side or under a desk other than that no great for a big room its only 4 inches very small but will put air on ya.ALAN

Yes you need a source of compressed air. Uses, if I recall from college, Bernoulli's principal by creating low pressure from high speed air flow.

I consider the unit "relatively quiet". It has a tank so the compressor only works a small part of the time.

It's noisy, but the sound itself it's from the air passing through the vents.... I could survive on a smaller room.... the unit could cold the environment quickly.

The compressor because of its small size doesn't make a lot of noise. The machine is efficient and runs smoothly with little noise.

Hello Thomas D,I don't know the volume of air required. Sorry, I can't say if it would do that job or not. Good luck.

We use an air compressor. An electric pump (like the ones in the aero beds) would probably work too.

It operates on its own. But I'm not sure why you would hook it to an air compressor?I think what you are asking is, does it need a holding tank? No, it doesnt.hope that helps.

I couldn't give you an honest answer because I work at a shop with a huge air system. I can tell you that with the power it will zip it off with a few taps and shouldn't take much air volume which is your concern. I wouldn't be concerned as long as you have something bigger than the little scuba looking tanks you use to run air nailers.

I use it in a "bonus room" over the garage in my house. It makes about as much noise as a window air conditioner. The unit sits in the room so you hear the compressor and fans. It is quiet enough that my grans kids (6 and 8 years old) do not complain.

power is one thing, but if the incoming air doesn't have an exit to move the air through the room the fan doesn't work very well.so remember the airflow through the room is just as helpful as the "power" of the fan

the unit has a fan, it is forced air. The very best electric space heater I have found.

It cleans the air in room. If the window is open with airconditioner in it does not matter. I run year round in room.

No it does not . It cools to about 35 to 40 degrees below the ambient temp. It does not use a compressor.
