{"product_id":"quincy-3103d12vca46m-air-compressor","title":"Quincy Air Compressor 5103D12VCA46M QT Max 10 HP 120 Gallon","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuincy 5103D12VCA46M QP MAX: 1,750 RPM, 100% Duty, 120-Gallon Vertical, 460V\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA pump turning at 1,750 RPM and a 100% duty cycle rating are the same fact stated twice. Compressor pumps wear out through heat and friction, and both scale with speed. Spin a small pump fast and you can quote impressive output from a cheap machine — but it runs hot, it needs to stop and cool, and its duty cycle tells you so. Turn a large cast-iron pump slowly and it makes its air with less heat, less noise and less wear, which is precisely why this one carries a continuous 100% duty rating rather than a percentage that has to be managed. Slow and continuous is the expensive way to build a compressor and the cheap way to own one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe build: 10 HP driving a two-stage cast-iron pump with aluminum heads, on a 120-gallon vertical receiver, wired for 460V three-phase power.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003e460V, and what it does to your installation cost\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eQuincy lists the amp draw for this build at 14 A. That is a small number for a 10 HP machine, and it is entirely down to the supply voltage. Current determines conductor size, conduit, breaker and disconnect, so a 460V installation is materially cheaper to wire than the same compressor on a lower-voltage supply. If your building already distributes 460V, this is the version to buy. If it does not, buy the version that matches the service you have rather than installing a transformer to feed one machine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat continuous duty actually asks of the rest of the machine\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA duty rating is only as good as the cooling behind it. Here that means a high-efficiency fin-and-tube intercooler between the two compression stages, so the second stage never has to work on hot air, and a mounted air-cooled aftercooler downstream of the pump that drops the discharge temperature before the air enters the receiver. The aftercooler has a second benefit worth as much as the first: cooling the air condenses its moisture at the machine, where a drain can take it, instead of in your shop piping. A compressor rated to run continuously will move a great deal of water over a shift, and where that water ends up is a design decision, not an accident.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eProtection is straightforward and worth listing plainly: a magnetic starter with thermal overload for the motor, a low-oil shutdown for the pump, an oil sight glass so the level can be read without stopping anything, and a spin-on oil filter that turns an oil service into a short job.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFootprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\" wide by 40\" deep.

Those are worth having and they are also worth reading precisely: a vessel code stamp certifies the construction and testing of the tank, not the assembly around it, and one mark is not a substitute for another. Where an insurer, a fleet policy or a local authority specifies a listing for permanently installed equipment, establish exactly which one and check it against this machine's data plate before purchase.

The unit ships palletised at 850 lbs and stands tall, so a forklift, a dock or terminal pickup at the carrier's depot is required — two people and a tailgate is not a plan. A residential address carries a residential fee, added to the freight quote. Inspect before signing: tank shell, feet, guards, gauges and cooler, and put anything you find on the bill of lading with the driver present. Tall palletised freight takes knocks that flat freight does not, so this is worth doing properly.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe unit carries a 1-year factory warranty, extending to a 3-year \"No Bull\" warranty on the terms in Quincy's warranty handbook.
