air comsumption

[sam4]

Hi,
Can someone told me what is the average consumption of a PC gun with a fluidized bed (1 ft2)?
Is the tank size important for running only a PC gun?

many thanks

My eastwood gun uses hardly any air at all. I actually am running off of a Nitrogen tank, that way I can skip the water filter.

My gun only uses 6-10psi, so the air-flow is quite low. It even says you can use a portable air pig!

Honestly, if you've got any air consumption worries about powder coating, they are wrongly placed. The only reason to have a little more air is for a compressed air blower to clean the gun between colors.. the nitrogen tank is a great idea.
