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:
“Our brains are no longer conditioned for reverence and awe. We cannot imagine a Second Coming that would not be cut down to size by the televised evening news, or a Last Judgment not subject to pages of holier-than-Thou second- guessing in The New York Review of Books.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“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)
