They carry an unstated duty cycle - run this many minutes in each hour, rest for the remainder - and a shop that ignores it cooks the pump slowly over a couple of years. The QT MAX is rated for 100% duty cycle. It is designed to run for as long as the demand lasts, which is a different machine from one that merely has a big motor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUnderneath that rating: a splash-lubricated cast iron two-stage pump turning at deliberately modest speed, 35 CFM at 175 PSI, a 120 gallon vertical ASME receiver, and a 10 HP motor on 230 Volt 3-phase supply with a factory-fitted magnetic starter.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTwo discrepancies in our own data, declared up front\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three of our sources - the product title, the description heading and the specification block - say 4103D12VCB23M. The page web address and one paragraph inside the current description say 2103D12VCB23M. We hold both and we are not going to guess. Send us the code from your paperwork and we will confirm the exact build before anything is ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic tank drain.\u003c\/strong\u003e The feature list and the description say this unit has an automatic electronic tank drain. The specification field for the electronic drain valve says it has none. One of those is wrong and we cannot tell which from what we hold, so we are telling you rather than quietly printing the better-sounding version. Ask us to confirm it in writing if it affects your decision.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat a 100% duty cycle rating actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDuty cycle is the proportion of each hour a compressor is permitted to spend actually pumping. A machine rated at, say, three quarters is not defective; it is built on the assumption that it gets a quarter of every hour to shed heat. Exceed that regularly and the consequences are entirely predictable - hotter oil, thinner oil film, faster valve fatigue, and a pump that is worn out well before its notional life.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA 100% rating removes that constraint. It is achieved not by magic but by margin: a larger oil reservoir, cooling designed for sustained rather than intermittent operation, and a pump geared to run at lower speed so it generates less heat in the first place for the same delivered air. Running slower is also why a machine like this is noticeably less tiring to work next to than a small compressor screaming to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat it does not mean is that maintenance is optional. Quincy attributes a pump life in the region of 50,000 hours to this design, and that figure assumes oil changes, a clean cooler and an intake filter that has been looked at this year. Continuous rating is permission to work the machine hard, not permission to ignore it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSizing and installation\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003e35 CFM at 175 PSI covers several technicians on air tools, or one sustained consumer such as a blast cabinet or a spray booth, with the 120 gallon tank taking the peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe vertical format keeps the floor plan small: about 40 inches by 30 inches, standing around 75 inches tall, and 1,000 lbs on the pad. Height is the constraint to check first, along with every doorway and roller shutter on the route in. Set it on level, solid concrete and leave clearance on all sides, because a machine rated to run continuously needs air moving over its coolers to actually do so. Confirming the floor, the clearances and the access route is the customer responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSupply is 230 Volt 3-phase, the commonest three-phase service in an independent workshop. The magnetic starter with thermal overload is fitted at the factory. Quincy records the breaker requirement as consult a certified electrician; the conductor sizing depends on your run length and local code, and it is worth settling before the machine is built.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e4103D12VCB23M (a second code exists in our data - see above)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e10 HP, 230 Volt, 3-phase\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDelivered air\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e35 CFM at 175 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDuty cycle\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e100%\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, cast iron, aluminum head, belt drive, splash lubricated\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCooling\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eAir-cooled aftercooler plus finned interstage intercooler\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProtection\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMagnetic starter with thermal overload, low oil cut-off, sight glass\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120 gallon, vertical, ASME\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank outlet\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1 inch\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFootprint and height\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e40 inches by 30 inches, 75 inches tall\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1,000 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAutomatic tank drain\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSources disagree - confirm with us\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1-year factory, extending to a 3-year pump term on the manufacturer conditions\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops where the compressor never really stops\u003c\/strong\u003e - production sanding, continuous blasting, a booth in daily use.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFabrication and welding shops\u003c\/strong\u003e running plasma alongside hand tools.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSecond-shift operations\u003c\/strong\u003e, where a duty-cycle-limited machine simply will not survive the hours.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBuildings on 230 Volt 3-phase\u003c\/strong\u003e that want the continuous rating without a voltage conversion.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOverkill for intermittent work.
