If you are running 4,000 hours a year and energy is your dominant cost, a screw will usually beat it on total cost of ownership. Vane wins on noise, on simplicity, on tolerance of hard starting and stopping, and on footprint. We will tell you honestly which one your duty cycle points at, including when the answer is not this machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstalled Accessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree accessories are priced as installed options and are available as separate line items on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/champion-lv-lvr-series-installed-accessories\"\u003eLV \/ LVR installed accessories page\u003c\/a\u003e: the electric automatic tank drain, vibration isolators, and Massachusetts code fittings.

Tell us the application and we will tell you whether a vane is right, including when it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is a rotary vane different from a rotary screw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA screw uses two meshing helical rotors that have to stay in register. A vane uses a single slotted rotor in an eccentric bore, with sliding vanes that seal on centrifugal force. Fewer critical parts, quieter operation, more tolerance of stop\/start duty. A screw is more efficient per CFM at high run hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo the vanes wear out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey bed in. The vanes are designed to seat against the bore over the first few hundred hours and the machine typically runs quieter after that than it does new. They are a wear part over a long life, not a short-interval consumable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a packaged unit versus a tank-mounted unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA packaged unit (the PU models) is the airend and motor only, with no starter and no receiver. A tank-mounted unit is the compressor, a receiver of 80 or 120 gallons and a mounted starter as one assembly. If you already have a receiver and a starter, buy the PU and save several thousand dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy would I buy a duplex?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedundancy and turndown. Two compressors on one receiver means a failure takes out half your capacity rather than all of it, and on light demand you run one head instead of cycling a larger machine. It costs roughly double a single unit, so it is a reliability decision rather than a capacity one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I run these on single phase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e2, 5 and 7.5 HP yes, at the same list price as three phase; specify it with the order. 10 HP LVR07 is three phase only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e100 PSIG or 150 PSIG?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame price, different capacity. A 5 HP unit gives 19.5 CFM at 100 PSIG and 16 CFM at 150. Run the lowest pressure your tools will tolerate, because every 2 PSI you carry unnecessarily costs you about 1% in energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it quiet enough to sit in the workspace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e65 dBA at 2 HP and 72 to 74 dBA at 5 to 10 HP, unenclosed. That is conversation level at the low end. Most shops put these in the room rather than in a compressor closet, which is much of the point of buying one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the lead time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt varies by configuration and we would rather check than guess.
