A portable/towable rotary screw diesel air compressor capable of around 180-260CFM costs approximately $14,000 to $20,000. A heavy duty turbocharged diesel compressor designed for mining, railroad, and heavy-duty construction might cost $25,000 to $30,000 or more.
[pdf] The Micro Oil Screw Air Compressor uses two rotors (screws) that rotate in opposite directions. As the screws turn, air is drawn in and compressed. The oil injected into the system lubricates and cools the compressor element while also sealing the gap between the screws.
[pdf] To connect two compressors in parallel, follow these steps: Make sure both compressors have the same voltage and phase. Install a check valve on each compressor’s discharge line to prevent backflow. Install a tee fitting on each compressor’s discharge line. Connect the two tee fittings with a pipe..

The Short Answer: The basic process involves setting up a single pressure switch system linking both compressors, using a check valve to prevent air backflow, and using suitable hoses or pipes.
