The Challenges of More Horsepower & More CFM

Heat Control As the majority of reciprocating compressors’ discharge temperatures can reach a 400° F level or higher, maximizing the motor’s service life and its long term reliability remains the challenge in designing a 10 and 15 horsepower quiet enclosed compressor. More CFM requires a larger compressor, so removing the heat from the low noise enclosure requires another creative engineering solution.
The 10 and 15 horsepower Paradigm solution implements dual cooling fans that pull cool ambient air from the bottom of the compressor through the package and discharge it through the top of the enclosure. Isolated coolers take the heat from the compressor pump through the included air cooled after cooler further reducing the temperature inside the enclosure.

Vibration Minimization
Similar to its 5 and 7.5 horsepower little brother, the 10 and 15 horsepower models have a onepiece powder coated inner base that supports both the compressor and the motor. Rubber vibration isolators separate the inner base from the enclosure for maximum noise and vibration control. The sound attenuating enclosure, made of 16 and 12 gauge steel with additional foam insulation, enables the compressor package to run quieter.
