<HTML>I frequently read this forum because of my interest in steam cars. However, I am needing a steam compressor for a project at work. Ideally, I am need a steam compressor that can take inlet steam at 1 ATM and 140C and compress it to 4 ATM at a flow rate of 1CFM at 70% efficiency. The flow rate could be as high as 100 CFM. Please let me know if such a low flow rate compressor can be bought, modified, or custom fabricated. Thanks,

<HTML>A two stage Roots blower could probably do this well, if you made sure the shaft seals could take the higher temperatures.</HTML>

I am not certain of their efficiencies, but Spilling does sell steam compressors.
