{"product_id":"champion-hr10-12-air-compressor","title":"Champion Air Compressor HR10-12 Reciprocating","description":"\u003ch2\u003eChampion HR10-12: a two-stage 120-gallon compressor that lies down instead of standing up\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlmost every 120-gallon shop compressor you will be shown stands upright, because a vertical receiver is the most economical way to buy air storage per square foot of floor. The HR10-12 solves the opposite problem. Its receiver lies horizontally, and the whole package measures \u003cstrong\u003e71\"\u003c\/strong\u003e long by \u003cstrong\u003e55\"\u003c\/strong\u003e tall, which is low enough to sit under a mezzanine, a duct run, a garage door track or a ceiling that an upright tank of the same volume would foul.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat sits on top of that tank is a heavy-duty two-stage, splash-lubricated reciprocating pump turned by a \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor, rated to \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e and supplied for \u003cstrong\u003e230V\u003c\/strong\u003e service. It is a continuous-shop machine rather than an intermittent one, and at \u003cstrong\u003e895 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e it is meant to be set once and left there.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA compressor this size fails on the building far more often than it fails on performance. Measure before you order, not after the freight arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOverhead clearance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The unit stands \u003cstrong\u003e55\"\u003c\/strong\u003e tall. Add whatever you need above it to lift the belt guard, change oil and reach the safety valve without dismantling anything.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRun length.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is \u003cstrong\u003e71\"\u003c\/strong\u003e long, so it wants a wall run rather than a corner. Leave air on all sides: a reciprocating pump is air-cooled and a compressor boxed tightly into a nook runs hotter than one with room around it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe third dimension.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our data does carry an overall width, but the figure is stored without a unit written beside it, so we are not going to print a number we cannot stand behind. Ask us and we will read the width off the factory drawing before you commit to a wall.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElectrical service.\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplied for \u003cstrong\u003e230V\u003c\/strong\u003e. Have an electrician confirm your available supply and the breaker sizing for a \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor before delivery day, because retro-fitting a circuit after the machine is on the floor is the expensive order of operations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor and handling.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e895 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e is a forklift or pallet-jack job, and it wants a flat, solid slab.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAir connection.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tank outlet is \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\"\u003c\/strong\u003e.

We can tell you what the machine needs; we cannot inspect your building for you.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTwo stages, and the intercooler that sits between them\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe phrase \"two stage\" gets printed on spec sheets without explanation, so here is what it buys. A single-stage pump takes atmospheric air and squeezes it to final pressure in one movement, and all the heat of that compression stays in the air and in the cylinder. A two-stage pump squeezes it partway in a large cylinder, pushes it through an \u003cstrong\u003eintercooler\u003c\/strong\u003e, and only then squeezes it the rest of the way in a smaller one. Cooled air is denser, so the second stage has less volume to move for the same delivered pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe practical result is a pump that can hold \u003cstrong\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/strong\u003e without cooking itself, which matters more in a hot building than a cool one. Multi-finned cylinders and an integral cylinder head back that up: the metal that gets hottest also carries the most surface area to shed heat.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe details that decide how long it lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSplash lubrication and an oil-level sight glass make the one maintenance check that matters a walk-past rather than a job. Oversized main bearings and a balanced crankshaft address what actually retires reciprocating compressors — vibration working fasteners loose over years — and high-flow disc valves are the wear item that governs efficiency as the machine ages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe centrifugal unloader is worth understanding as an electrical feature rather than a mechanical one. It vents the head so the motor starts against no pressure. A \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor asked to start against a loaded head draws its worst inrush every single cycle; on a shared shop panel that is the difference between starting cleanly and browning out the lights or nuisance-tripping a breaker.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat the option list tells you about this pump\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe published options for this model include an electric fuel pump, a canvas cover for engine-driven models, heavy-duty vibration isolators, and standalone fuel tanks in \u003cstrong\u003e9-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e5-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e sizes. Fuel pumps, fuel tanks and a weather cover only make sense on an engine-driven machine, which tells you this pump family is also sold on a skid for sites with no power. On the electric unit here the option that will actually matter to most buyers is the vibration isolator set, particularly if the compressor shares a wall with an office or a paint booth.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShops with a height problem.\u003c\/strong\u003e Low ceilings, mezzanine undersides, basement workshops and buildings where the roll-up door track eats the useful headroom.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMulti-bay automotive service.\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact tools, lifts, tyre machines and blow guns running together on a \u003cstrong\u003e120-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e reserve.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBody and paint work\u003c\/strong\u003e that needs steady pressure rather than a tank that empties into a gun mid-panel.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight industrial and fabrication\u003c\/strong\u003e where the compressor is expected to work a full shift, not a weekend.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eA packaged unit: the two-stage splash-lubricated pump with its intercooler, multi-finned cylinders and integral head, the \u003cstrong\u003e10 HP\u003c\/strong\u003e motor, the \u003cstrong\u003e120-gallon\u003c\/strong\u003e horizontal receiver, an enclosed drive, an oil-level sight glass, a centrifugal unloader and a magnetic starter.

Residential addresses carry a residential fee. Walk the crate before you sign: check the tank for dents, look for shipping damage around the pump and motor, and note anything you find on the paperwork.
