Oh My! The Biggest Superchargers You’ve Never Seen
If you thought ProCharger had some big blowers, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Inovair’s 2200 preconditioned air unit (PCA) supplies a high volume of air in conjunction with a portable HVAC unit that keeps the F-35's avionics at a stable temp when on the ground for maintenance.

ProCharger’s Erik Radzins poses with Inovair’s largest unit—the 9400 compressor—which is used for wastewater treatment. Radzins: “That gearcase probably weighs—I mean there’s as much metal in that as a big-block Chevy. This might be what we’re making right now, but just wait ’til you see what’s coming in the future.” You’re going to have an even bigger one? “Actually, we are!”
Waste-water treatment plants like this one hold untreated water in giant holding pens and pump air through effluent in a process called aeration. Inovair’s 9400 model (inset) provides continuous airflow with significant savings to rate payers through reduced energy costs.
