The Ingersoll-Rand 2475N7 5-P Two-Stage, Electric-Driven Reciprocating Air Compressor represents a unique approach to air compressor design that offers distinct advantages over other designs. In two-stage compression, air is compressed twice, first to an intermediate pressure in a larger cylinder where it is cooled before being compressed to final pressure in a smaller cylinder. This design allows for more efficient compression compared to single stage compressors, as cooling between stages reduces the power requirements of compression. The 2475 features a cast iron construction with oversized bearings and a robust crankshaft design, which makes it durable for intermittent use applications in heavy industry and heavy shop environments where the compressor may be starting and stopping frequently.

What makes the Ingersoll-Rand 2475 series particularly practical for many users is its simplicity and servicability. Unlike a rotary screw compressor, the 2475N7's reciprocating design uses commonly available parts and can be serviced by most mechanical technicians. The units heavy-duty 7.5HP motor and two stage design delivers up to 175PSI at a rate suitable for intermittent use in applications where mildly pulsating air flow is acceptable. A notable advantage to a reciprocating air compressor is a lower cost-of-entry compared to more complicated rotary screw models.
