Saylor-Beall 3 HP Simplex Climate Control Reciprocating Air Compressor, 12.3 CFM

Saylor-Beall 3 HP Simplex Climate Control Reciprocating Air Compressor The Saylor-Beall 3 HP Simplex Climate Control Reciprocating Air Compressor is designed for commercial and industrial facilities requiring dependable compressed air for HVAC pneumatic controls, building automation systems, instrumentation, laboratory air, and climate control applications. Built in St. Johns, Michigan, this industrial-duty compressor combines rugged cast-iron construction with slow-speed operation to provide reliable performance, reduced oil carry-over, and exceptional long-term durability. Powered by Saylor-Beall’s heavy-duty 705 two-stage compressor pump, this unit delivers 12.3 ACFM at 100 PSI while operating at a low 575 RPM. The low-speed pump design minimizes heat buildup, vibration, and internal wear, helping extend compressor life while maintaining stable air pressure for sensitive pneumatic systems. Unlike light-duty retail compressors, the Saylor-Beall Climate Control series is engineered specifically for continuous commercial and industrial service. Industrial cast-iron construction, precision-honed cylinders, disc valves, oversized tapered roller bearings, automotive-style insert crankshaft bearings, and a high-flow flywheel work together to provide superior cooling, increased efficiency, and simplified long-term maintenance. The specialized piston ring design reduces compressed air blow-by and helps minimize oil carry-over into pneumatic control systems and instrumentation equipment, making this compressor ideal for facilities where reliable clean compressed air is critical for operational performance. The 3 HP Simplex Climate Control compressor is available with both 60-gallon and 80-gallon ASME air receiver configurations. The larger 80-gallon receiver increases stored air volume, improves pressure stability, and reduces compressor cycling during fluctuating demand conditions. Saylor-Beall 1-5 HP Climate Control compressors are available in multiple electrical configurations, including 115V single phase, 230V single phase, 208-230V three phase, and 460V three phase options for installation flexibility across commercial buildings and industrial facilities. Every Saylor-Beall Climate Control compressor includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for dependable motor protection, simplified installation, and reliable commercial and industrial operation. Built for long-term ownership, the compressor features a maintenance-friendly industrial layout with accessible service points, replaceable bearings, cast-iron components, and simplified valve access to help reduce downtime and lower lifetime operating costs.
