The L-Series is direct-gear driven where the D-Series in this horsepower band is belt driven; it is rated to 190 PSIG where the D-Series tops out at 175 PSIG; and it is base mount only, where the D-Series offers tank-mounted AirStation packages. The L-Series is also quieter at the same horsepower, 68 to 71 dBA against 73 to 74 dBA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich voltages are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e 230V, 460V and 575V, all three phase, all at the same list price. 380V, 400V and Tri-Volt are not offered on this family.

That is the factory's arrangement, not ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do the L26 and L29 weigh almost the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e They share a frame, an enclosure and a footprint.

Is that right?\u003c\/strong\u003e That is exactly what the August 2026 price book prints: automatic blow-down timer on the L23 and L29, N\/A on the L26. The three models are otherwise identical in every published respect, so we believe this is a printing slip rather than a real difference, and we have asked the factory to confirm.
