{"product_id":"champion-lvr05pdrhs-12-air-compressor","title":"Champion Air Compressor LVR05PDRHS-12 7.5 HP 120 Gallon Duplex Horizontal","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChampion LVR05PDRHS-12 — 7.5 HP Duplex, 120 Gallon Horizontal Tank\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eHere is the unusual thing about this package, and the reason it is worth a look even if you were not shopping for a duplex: the standard build is specified for single-phase power. Two compressors and two motors sharing one 120 gallon horizontal tank is normally a three-phase proposition, which puts it out of reach of any shop that never had three-phase brought to the building. The specification for the LVR05PDRHS-12 lists it at 208-230, 1PH. If you have wanted the redundancy of a twin-pump package and been told your service could not support it, start the conversation again here.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree-phase has not been forgotten. 208-230\/460 Volt 3 phase available is listed as an option on this model — ask us for pricing on that build, since it is not a stock configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe starter panel is the part that makes a duplex a duplex\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo compressors bolted to one tank are not a duplex; they are two compressors that will both try to start at the same moment and fight each other. What makes it a system is the control gear, and this package ships with a NEMA 1 mounted full voltage starter panel containing two starters plus an alternator.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe alternator is the component doing the interesting work. It swaps which machine leads on each cycle, so run hours accumulate evenly across the pair rather than piling onto one unit while the other sits as a spare and quietly seizes from disuse. Even wear means both airends arrive at their service life together, which makes maintenance planning honest instead of a series of surprises. It also means that on a light day one machine covers demand on its own — you are not spinning full capacity to run a blow gun.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd when one half is down for service, the shop still has air. That is usually the whole reason a duplex is specified, and it only holds true if the control gear is designed for it, which is why the panel is worth as much attention as the pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAn advanced rotary vane airend with a cast iron core\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pump here is a Champion rotary vane airend with cast iron construction, direct driven at a deliberately unhurried 1760RPM. Direct drive removes the belt: nothing to tension, nothing to glaze, nothing to replace, and no alignment to lose. Slow speed does the rest — the slower an airend turns, the gentler the loads on the vanes, the rotor and the bearings, and the less heat there is to get rid of.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCast iron matters for the same unglamorous reason it matters in an engine block. It is dimensionally stable when hot, it damps vibration rather than transmitting it, and it wears slowly. On a machine whose entire proposition is running for a long time without drama, that is the right material even though it is the heavy one.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach motor is a TEFC type — totally enclosed, fan cooled — which is the specification you want in a workshop rather than an office. A TEFC frame keeps dust, grit and moisture out of the windings, and a compressor room is generally the dustiest corner of any building.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFactory-filled lubricant and thermal protection\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe machine arrives filled with CS300 vane di-ester lubricant. Two things follow from that. The first is practical: it is filled at the factory, so commissioning does not begin with sourcing the right oil. The second matters more over time — a vane compressor's lubricant is not a generic mineral oil, and a di-ester product is specified because of how it behaves at temperature and how it manages the vane-to-stator contact that a vane machine depends on. Substituting something cheaper at the first oil change is the most reliable way to shorten the life of an otherwise long-lived airend.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBacking that up is high temperature safety shutdown protection. Heat is what actually kills compressors — a blocked cooler, a hot day, a door closed on the compressor room, and temperatures climb until something is damaged. A shutdown on temperature converts what would have been a rebuild into an inconvenient afternoon and a phone call.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOil carryover is quoted at 3ppm, which is worth checking against what the air is feeding. Spray equipment, pneumatic controls and instrument air all care about it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWill it fit your shop?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe package is a horizontal tank-mounted unit, 76 in. long, and it weighs 1210 lbs. It needs a flat, solid floor, a delivery route that can take a pallet of that weight, and clearance around it for airflow and service access. Oil capacity is 1 gal and the tank outlet is 1\/2 in. NPT.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, do not size the supply from a web page. Have a certified electrician specify the circuit and the protection for the build you are ordering, because a duplex starts two motors and the answer is not simply twice a single-machine figure. Confirming power, floor, clearance and access is the customer's responsibility, and we would far rather work through it with you before you order than after a pallet is standing in your yard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA note on the published air delivery figure\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe specification list for this model gives its air delivery at 150 psi. We have not reprinted that figure in this description, because it is recorded in the product data in a form we cannot cite with confidence, and on a compressor purchase the delivery figure is the number a buyer actually sizes against — it deserves to be right rather than approximately right. Ask us and we will confirm the delivery for this exact build, in writing, before you order. For the same reason, the tank size and the overall height are given in the manufacturer's data without units, so this page states the length and the tank capacity and leaves the rest to a confirmed drawing rather than a guess.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops without three-phase power\u003c\/strong\u003e that still need twin-pump redundancy — this is the configuration that makes that possible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive and body shops\u003c\/strong\u003e, where air demand runs all day and losing the compressor means losing the bay.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWoodworking shops and machine tool rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e, both named by the manufacturer as target applications for the series.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnyone replacing a tired single compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e who has learned what a compressor failure costs in downtime rather than in parts.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eLVR05PDRHS-12\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e7.5 HP\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDuplex, tank mounted, horizontal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 gallon\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAirend\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eChampion rotary vane, cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrive\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDirect drive, slow speed 1760RPM\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStandard voltage and phase\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e208-230, 1PH\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOptional\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e208-230\/460 Volt 3 phase available\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eControl gear\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNEMA 1 mounted full voltage starter panel, two starters plus alternator\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLubricant\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCS300 vane di-ester, factory filled\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOil capacity\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 gal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOil carryover\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3ppm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProtection\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHigh temperature safety shutdown\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank outlet\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\/2 in.

This listing is the tank-mounted duplex. If you are weighing up whether a dryer belongs in the package, tell us what the air is feeding and we will go through it with you — retrofitting one later is always more expensive than specifying it now.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStandards and approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe data we hold states no third-party listing or conformity marking, so this page does not claim one. That is not evidence that none exists; documentation for equipment this size often sits with the manufacturer rather than in a catalogue. If an insurer, an authority having jurisdiction or an internal standard requires specific paperwork, tell us before you order and we will request it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eShips freight to the lower 48 states. At 1210 lbs this needs a forklift, a dock or a properly thought-out plan at the receiving end — or choose to collect it from the carrier's terminal. Residential delivery carries a fee. Freight is quoted live at checkout for your address rather than printed here, because carrier rates move.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCheck the shipment over before signing, and record any damage on the bill of lading at the time of delivery.

No term is printed here because the product data we hold does not state one for this model — ask and we will confirm the current terms before you commit. Keep the commissioning and service records, use the specified lubricant, and if a fault appears raise it before anyone opens the airend: a machine that has already been dismantled cannot be assessed, and that is the usual reason a good claim is turned down.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestions on power, sizing or delivery?
