ELGi introduces 5-15 hp reciprocating air compressors
January 5, 2017
ELGi has introduced a 5-15 hp line of lubricated reciprocating air compressors for flow rates between 16-50 cfm. The 5 and 7.5 hp models are shipped with ASME coded vertical receiver tanks while the 10 and 15 hp, and duplex models are delivered with horizontal tanks and a tough, field proven pump with over 30 years of field success is utilized in the updated package design assembled in Charlotte, NC.
The ELGi TS10-175 120H 10 hp horizontal tank model
Designed for a maximum working pressure of 175 psig, the TS05 is rated for 16.8 cfm, the TS07 for 24.0 cfm, the TS10 for 36.1 and the TS15 for 50 cfm. ELGi reciprocating air compressors deploy a robust and completely cast-iron construction making the compressor less prone to vibration and deep fins ensuring 360 degree cooling for the cylinders. A heavy-duty industrial air filter offers clog-free filtered air while flow is not compromised. The ELGi lubricated reciprocating air compressor also has a re-forged crank shaft and connecting rod that is more rigid and designed for longer life and a double-supported industrial ball bearing to handle thrust loads and ensure longer life of the compressor. In addition, aluminum intercooler tubes and massive fan ensure superior heat dissipation for higher operating efficiency while the compressor design abides by ASME design code and OSHA Safety standards.
ELGi’s reciprocating air compressors come equipped with the following standard components: ASME coded relief valves for interstage and tank pressure, all components completely pre-piped, pre-wired and operationally tested, a magnetic starter to ensures smooth start and stop of the motor, a NEMA Premium efficiency motor, ASME coded air receiver tanks and an enclosed belt guard complying to OSHA Safety standards to assure accident-free operation.
