AirComParts K10V12 10 HP Two-Stage Air Compressor - 120 Gallon Vertical, 175 PSI, 33.4-35 CFM, 452 Kellogg-Equivalent Pump

The AirComParts K10V12 is a 10 HP two-stage reciprocating air compressor on a 120 gallon vertical ASME tank, driven by the 452 pump that cross-references to the Kellogg-American 452. At 35 CFM delivered at 175 PSI it will keep a busy production shop in air: impact tools, plasma cutting, sandblasting cabinets, paint booths and multi-bay service work.

Two-stage compression squeezes the air twice, with an intercooler between the low-pressure and high-pressure cylinders, so the pump reaches a full 175 PSI without the heat and wear a single-stage pump takes to get there. The vertical 120 gallon tank gives you the storage of a large horizontal receiver on a fraction of the floor space.

Key specifications

• Horsepower: 10 HP
• Pump: 452, two-stage, belt driven, Kellogg-American 452 equivalent
• Delivery: 33.4 CFM at 175 PSI on single phase, 35 CFM at 175 PSI on three phase
• Maximum pressure: 175 PSI
• Tank: 120 gallon vertical, ASME coded, made in the USA, supplied with safety valve and drain valve
• Weight: 990 lb. Add approximately 100 lb for crated shipping weight
• Available power: 230V single phase, or 208V, 230V and 460V three phase
• Belt guard: all metal

Choosing your configuration

• Basic Unit includes the pump, belt guard, ASME tank and electric motor. It does not include the motor starter, which an industrial motor requires for proper cycling.
• With Starter Unit adds a motor starter, mounted and wired ready for use.
• Package Unit adds the mounted motor starter plus a beltguard-mounted aftercooler and an automatic tank drain.

At 10 HP the aftercooler earns its place quickly. It cools the discharge air and removes roughly 75 percent of its moisture before it reaches the tank, which is the cheapest water control available on a reciprocating compressor and the first thing to fit ahead of a dryer. The automatic tank drain discharges condensate on its own, protecting the tank and keeping full air storage available.

A note on single-phase at 10 HP

A 10 HP single-phase motor draws heavy starting current and needs a correspondingly large supply. Where three-phase power is available it is the better specification at this size, and it is also the cheaper one: the 230V single-phase Basic Unit lists above the three-phase equivalent.

Why the three-phase Basic Unit covers two voltages

The 230V and 460V three-phase Basic Units share one part number, K1547, because the motor is dual-voltage 230/460V and the starter, which fixes the supply voltage, is not part of a Basic Unit. The 208V three-phase Basic Unit, K15478, is a separate part number.

The AirComParts K10V12 pairs a 10 HP motor with a 175 PSI two-stage 452 pump and a 120 gallon vertical ASME tank, in Basic, With Starter and full Package configurations across 230V single-phase and 208/230/460V three-phase.
