Size
Rotary screw compressors tend to be compact and smooth running with limited vibration and thus do not require spring suspension. Many rotary screw compressors are, however, mounted using elastomer vibration isolating mounts to absorb high-frequency vibrations, especially in rotary screw compressors that operate at high rotational speeds. Rotary screw compressors are produced in sizes that range from 10 cubic feet per minute to several thousand CFM. Rotary screw compressors are typically used in applications requiring more airflow than is produced by small reciprocating compressors but less than is produced by centrifugal compressors.

Famous quotes containing the word size:
“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 17:20.
“Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:
. . . the incessant recital
Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
