10 HP Quincy compressor (finally found a fall project)

Ignoramus27577 · 2007-10-17T14:53:30+00:00

I finally found a "fall project". I was looking for something fun todo in the fall, fixing some item or another. Last year I did a dieselengine Cummins L423D. I just won this in a liquidation auction: want to add a VFD to this compressor and sell it with a VFD tosomeone who has single phase only.I need to find a drive now, but I hope that I can do so for areasonable price.i

Just out of curiousity (if you don't mind saying), what are you paying for the compressor?

Best wishes,

My bid was $375, but with the buyer's fee, the total was $423.

Found a drive for it, a 18.5 kW Siemens SED2 drive (240v, 25 HP). I will report how it works out. I am mindful of the possibility that this whole system is 15 HP and not 10, as claimed. I will pick up around Tuesday.
