Expert Advice

Paul Jones says

This is a diesel-driven static air compressor designed for sites where you either have no mains supply or want to keep electrical load off the workshop. In practice I see these used for mobile body repair, farm work, remote fabrication, and as a back-up air source for small bodyshops during electrical work or outages.

Being diesel, the main considerations are fuel quality, ventilation, and noise. You’re dealing with a 10 hp unit on a 150 litre receiver, so treat it like any other engine-driven plant: solid mounting, clear airflow around the engine, and regular checks on oil, filters and drive belts. Make sure your air demands – particularly for DA sanders, spray guns and blow-off – are matched to its free air delivery, not just displacement.

A common issue I see is neglecting condensate drainage and receiver inspections because it is “only the backup compressor”. That shortens receiver life quickly. Set it up correctly, maintain it like your primary unit, and it will give reliable air when your workshop needs it most.

FAQs

Is the Workhorse Diesel Air Compressor Tandem 10hp 150l/ES suitable for workshops without a strong electrical supply?

Yes. This model is diesel engine driven with electric and recoil start, so it does not rely on mains power for the compressor drive. It is aimed specifically at workshops, garages and mobile setups where three-phase or high‑capacity electrical supply is not available, but reliable air delivery is still needed.

What air output and pressure can I expect from the Workhorse 10hp 150 litre diesel compressor?

The unit is rated at 10hp with a 150‑litre receiver. It delivers 29.8 CFM displacement and 23 CFM free air delivery at up to 10 bar as standard, with a 12 bar option available. In practice, that is enough for most professional tasks such as air tools, spray equipment and general workshop use, provided the total demand is matched to the 23 CFM FAD figure.

What are the key mechanical features that matter for workshop reliability on this compressor?

It uses a low‑vibration diesel engine driving a twin‑cylinder, two‑stage pump with a cast iron cylinder block. The compressor is belt‑driven with fitted aftercoolers and an aerodynamic flywheel for better cooling. This slow‑running, heavy‑duty arrangement reduces noise, keeps running temperatures under control and extends service life in daily professional use.

What warranty and support are available, and can BWS service this compressor on site?

Workhorse compressors are built and tested in the UK and supplied with a manufacturer warranty on the engine and compressor, plus a 150‑litre receiver built to current standards. BWS backs this up with UK‑wide mobile service engineers for installation, servicing and repair, along with technical advice on sizing, correct setup and matching the compressor to your workshop air demand.
