Frequently Asked Questions

Arctic Compressor is headquartered in Superior, Wisconsin, where we have been manufacturing high-quality products since our establishment. We prioritize sourcing components locally, regionally, and domestically whenever feasible, reflecting our commitment to supporting the local economy. Many parts of our products are fabricated or painted within a five-state area surrounding our facility, ensuring that a significant portion of our production process is rooted in our community. This approach not only enhances the quality of our compressors, fill stations, and mobile solutions, but also fosters relationships with local suppliers and manufacturers.

Yes. Arctic CO monitors use electrochemical sensors that detect gases by producing a chemical reaction between the gas and oxygen contained in the sensor. This reaction produces a small current which is proportional to the concentration of the gas present.  These sensors change in sensitivity over time and require recalibration and eventually replacement.

The NFPA 1989 6.4.2 says “Analytical equipment shall be operated and properly calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.”

Typically, a complete Arctic Compressor System will consist of a compressor, fill station, and high-pressure storage cylinders.  Explore the specifications of our various models of these components to build the right system for your needs.  

Determining the output volume (CFM) and pressure (PSI) of your compressor are two important factors in how your air storage is recovered. Selecting your compressor based on the output will be the most important factor in choosing a model from our lineup.

Storage cylinders come in lots of different shapes and sizes.  The most common type seen in fire stations and other breathing-air storage locations is the UN/ISO rated 6000 PSI 510 Cubic Foot Steel Cylinder.  Four of these full cylinders, when cascading properly, can fill about 40 air cylinders. (4500 PSI 30 minute cylinders)
