Note: This compressor application matrix offers directional information when sizing a Bendix compressor for the applicable vehicle
vocation. Testing should still be performed on the specifi c application to verify that the compressor remains within the 25% maximum
allowable duty cycle. This application matrix assumes that all compressor installations use an air induction system that is naturally
aspirated. The “Compressor Installation & Application Review” form explains the methods used to measure the vehicle’s duty cycle.
