How often the compressor is used and how it is used.
Short list in-plant compressed air application. Make a list of equipment in the plant Consuming compressed air and expected air flow requirement in ‘CFM’ and the required pressure in ‘PSI’
Consider the duty cycle of your compressors as most compressors are not meant to run all the time.
Decide on the size/capacity of the tank. The more use of equipments means the need for larger tank. Choosing a larger tank than the need will ensure optimum use of the Compressor.
Consider 10% more capacity compressor to compensate the air misuse or leaks and pressure drop in the system.
Decide on the continuous run style or start-stop style compressor. ( A compressor that runs continuously, but only compresses air as per demand or a compressor that fills the tank and stops until low pressure signals a start).
Consider the accessory which is to be installed with each compressor.
Other like maintenance, life expectancy, trouble shooting (also know the manufacture network/ regional offices), repair costs, etc.
