Product Description
Quincy QP 5–15 HP
The Quincy QP 5–15 HP is a heavy-duty, two-stage reciprocating air compressor designed for demanding applications requiring pressures up to 175 psig. Moreover, its fully pressure-lubricated construction provides controlled oil delivery to critical internal components.
Electric configurations are available in 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 HP ratings. Depending on the selected model, the range delivers approximately 17.2 to 51 ACFM at 175 psig. Therefore, the QP Series suits workshops, manufacturing plants and industrial operations requiring reliable high-pressure compressed air.
Fully Pressure-Lubricated Operation
Traditional splash-lubricated compressors rely on internal components to distribute oil through the crankcase. In contrast, the QP compressor uses a positive-displacement oil pump.
Consequently, oil is supplied to the crankshaft, bearings, connecting rods and wrist-pin areas. Moreover, the system includes an oil filter and pressure gauge for monitoring lubricant condition and delivery.
As a result, the Quincy QP 5–15 HP supports smoother operation and improved component protection during demanding industrial service.
Key Features and Benefits
The QP reciprocating compressor range provides several practical advantages:
- Power ratings from 5 to 15 HP
- Two-stage reciprocating compression
- Maximum working pressure of 175 psig
- Air delivery from 17.2 to 51 ACFM
- Fully pressure-lubricated construction
- Positive-displacement oil pump
- Oil filter and pressure gauge
- Cast-iron crankcase, cylinder and flywheel
- High-efficiency fin-and-tube intercooler
- Two-piece aluminium connecting rods
- Automotive-style inlet filter and silencer
- Enclosed OSHA-compliant belt guard
- Vertical and horizontal receiver options
- Simplex and duplex packages
- Pro, Pro+ and Max configurations
Together, these features allow the range to balance industrial durability with cost-effective ownership.
Two-Stage Compression
The compressor processes air through two cylinder stages. First, the low-pressure cylinder performs the initial compression. Afterwards, the intercooler reduces the air temperature before the second cylinder raises it to the final pressure.
Consequently, two-stage compression supports efficient operation at 175 psig. Moreover, intercooling helps manage discharge temperature and reduces the work required during the second compression stage.
Therefore, the QP is better suited to high-pressure applications than many single-stage workshop compressors.
Cast-Iron Industrial Construction
The Quincy QP 5–15 HP uses a cast-iron crankcase, cylinder and flywheel. Therefore, the compressor provides the mechanical strength required for repeated industrial compression cycles.
In addition, industrial-class bearings and an advanced valve design support dependable airflow and long operating life. Meanwhile, the cooling system directs airflow across the cylinders to help control operating temperature.
QP Performance Options
Published electric-package performance includes:
- 5 HP: Approximately 17.2 ACFM at 175 psig
- 7.5 HP: Approximately 23.6 ACFM at 175 psig
- 10 HP: Approximately 36 ACFM at 175 psig
- 15 HP: Approximately 51 ACFM at 175 psig
The 5 and 7.5 HP packages use the QP1 compressor pump. Meanwhile, the 10 and 15 HP packages use the larger QP2 pump.
Therefore, users can select the appropriate configuration according to actual airflow demand rather than horsepower alone.
Pro, Pro+ and Max Packages
Pro
The Pro package provides a standard industrial configuration with a manual ball-valve tank drain.
Pro+
The Pro+ package adds an electronic drain and low-oil protection. Consequently, it provides additional automation and compressor protection.
Max
The Max package includes an air-cooled aftercooler, electronic drain and low-oil protection. Moreover, horizontal Max units include vibration isolators.
Therefore, users can choose the package level according to air-quality, maintenance and installation requirements.
Receiver and Electrical Configurations
The Quincy QP 5–15 HP is available with vertical and horizontal receivers. Published tank sizes include 80, 120 and 200 gallons, depending on horsepower and simplex or duplex arrangement.
Moreover, selected smaller packages support single-phase or three-phase power, while larger configurations use three-phase supplies. Listed voltage options include 200, 230, 460 and 575 V, depending on the selected package.
Therefore, users should confirm compatibility with the available electrical supply in India before ordering.
Quincy QP Applications in India
The QP compressor range may support many industrial applications across India, including:
- Manufacturing plants
- Automotive workshops
- Metal-fabrication facilities
- Agricultural operations
- Mining facilities
- Energy-sector support operations
- Food and beverage plants
- Pneumatic tools
- Packaging equipment
- Maintenance workshops
- Service centres
- Industrial assembly lines
For example, a fabrication workshop can use a QP package for pneumatic tools and production equipment. Similarly, a manufacturing plant can use a duplex arrangement where redundancy and additional compressed-air storage are required.
Selecting the Correct QP Compressor
Correct selection depends on:
- Required airflow in ACFM
- Operating pressure
- Daily usage profile
- Motor horsepower
- Electrical supply
- Receiver capacity
- Simplex or duplex operation
- Aftercooler requirement
- Drain configuration
- Installation ventilation
- Future compressed-air demand
Therefore, users should calculate the total compressed-air requirement and expected expansion before selecting a compressor.
Otherwise, an undersized unit may operate excessively, while an oversized package may cycle inefficiently and increase operating costs.
Warranty Options
Standard configured units carry the applicable standard warranty. However, Pro, Pro+ and Max packages may be eligible for extended coverage that increases protection to two years for the package and three years for the compressor pump.
Warranty coverage remains subject to Quincy’s applicable terms, registration procedures, maintenance requirements and use of approved parts and lubricants.
