What features make the QT compressor the most reliable?
Quincy Northwest Model QT-15 15 hp oil lubricated reciprocating air compressor mounted on a Extra oil reserve The lubrication system has an extra large oil reservoir to ensure low oil temperature during operation. Loadless start The QT starts unloaded and is immediately ready to go to work. |
SPLASH LUBRICATION
Lubrication safety Loss of lubrication during operation is the most common cause of destructive failure in oil-lubricated compressors. The QT is equipped with an oil level indicator to ensure that sufficient oil is available for safe operation before start-up. A low oil level automatic shutdown switch is an option as an additional safeguard. |
MECHANICAL STRENGTH Cast iron construction The QT's deep-finned, cast iron cylinders achieve cool operation. The cast iron crankcase provides sufficient weight and strength to ensure smooth operation. All components are easily accessible, and moving parts are kept to a minimum Ball bearings The QT has heavy-duty, ball bearings to provide reliable operation and long life. Stainless steel valves The QT's stainless steel valve design delivers the highest CFM per horsepower of any comparable compressor. Balanced crankshaft The counterweighted crankshaft is dynamically balanced for low vibration operation. Cooling air flywheel The cast iron flywheel smoothes operation and functions as a high-efficiency fan that transfers heat away from the valves and cylinders. |
