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.

- Multi-finned cylinders for cooler operating
temperatures resulting in long life and consistent
performance.
- Two compression rings and one oil control ring to
ensure low oil carry-over and provide efficient air
delivery.
- Large-diameter finned tubing with the greatest
cooling effect between stages for maximum
compressor efficiency.
- Pressure relief valves located in inter-stage
intercooler and discharge line for safe compressor
operation.
- Precision balanced flywheel with cast fan blades for
optimum compressor cooling and longer life.
- Removable manifolds for easy serviceability.
- Balanced rugged ductile iron crankshaft with large
diameter throws for minimum bearing loads and
counterweights to minimize vibration.
- Rugged cast iron oil reservoir with convenient sight
gauge glass, corner oil fill boss and large oil drain
for user-friendly serviceability.
- A pressure switch allows the compressor to start
unloaded every time. This ensures the lowest
amount of starting torque is required by the electric
motor
- Magnetic starter for thermal
overload protection
