Dera Mini Compressor 12V

A "Dera mini compressor 12V" almost exclusively refers to a portable 12V air compressor designed for vehicle use, specifically for inflating tires and other small inflatables. "Dera" is a common brand for tools and equipment in Kenya, and they offer several models of these mini compressors.

These compressors are compact, lightweight, and powered by your vehicle's 12V cigarette lighter socket or directly from the car battery via clamps. They are essential emergency tools for drivers.

Key Features and Specifications (Typical for Dera 12V Mini Compressors):

• Power Source: 12V DC (plugs into car cigarette lighter or connects directly to battery terminals with alligator clips).
• Purpose: Primarily for inflating car, motorcycle, bicycle, and ATV tires. Also comes with adaptors for inflating sports balls, air mattresses, inflatable toys, etc.
• Pressure: Typically reaches a maximum pressure of 100 PSI to 150 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch).
• Air Flow: Measured in Liters per Minute (L/min). Common flow rates for Dera 12V compressors range from 35 L/min to 85 L/min. Higher L/min means faster inflation.
• Cylinder Type: Many Dera models are single-cylinder, but you'll also find double-cylinder (twin-cylinder) options. Double-cylinder compressors generally offer:
  • Faster inflation times.
  • Higher air flow rates.
  • Better heat dissipation (less prone to overheating).
  • Increased durability for more demanding tasks.
• Wattage/Power: While the primary rating is 12V, some listings might mention a wattage, such as 120W to 180W for single-cylinder, and higher for double-cylinder models.
• Inflating Speed: A common claim is to inflate a standard car tire from flat to 30 PSI in 2-3 minutes, especially for dual-cylinder models.
