BS-PTE001 5.5HP 196cc Petrol Air Compressor Engine

The BS-PTE001 5.5HP Petrol Engine is a versatile, air-cooled petrol engine designed for driving a wide range of equipment, including air compressors, water pumps, generators and construction machinery. With a 20mm or 3/4" output shaft, it is suitable as a replacement engine for your equipment.

With a maximum power output of 4.8kW at 3,600 RPM and maximum torque of 11Nm at 2,500 RPM, this compact engine provides a useful combination of power and portability for site and workshop applications. The 3.6-litre fuel tank and 17kg overall weight make it particularly suitable for mobile equipment where mains electricity is unavailable.

For compressor applications, the BS-PTE001 can be used to power a suitable belt-driven compressor pump, making it a practical choice for portable and petrol-powered air compressor builds.

Compressor Applications

The BS-PTE001 is particularly useful for building or repairing petrol-driven air compressors where a reliable mechanical drive is required without access to mains electricity.

When using the engine to drive a compressor pump, the pump speed must be controlled through the correct pulley ratio. Do not assume that the engine's 3,600 RPM operating speed is suitable for the compressor pump directly. The pump manufacturer's recommended operating speed should always be followed, with the appropriate pulley sizes selected accordingly.
