Bel Aire QP compressor

[vette]

Does any one have any dealing with the so called quiet compressors?
Are they realy that much quieter or is it just like there regular one with just a box build onto it? There is a rather large price diff. I'm considering the 7hp for my new shop and will be standing only a few feet away.

Thanks that helped. Bel Aire states there QP series runs at 69db and I didn't know exactly how loud that was.Seems like it would be quiet enough, guess I'll have to spring for the extra bucks.

It would be like a loud PC or vacuum cleaner. All they are is a enclosure covering the mechanicals. I personally wouldn't spend the extra money and make a vented closet around it.

Yes that's a huge cut from the regular units you see on the market. I'd get one if I didn't have mine mounted behind the house.


where are you located? we're a Belaire dealer and I've personally got a belaire behind my garage that is kick @ss compared to my old crapsman.

we have a quincy t5 here at work and i cant get over how quiet it is! I plan on getting a quincy for home very shortly.

any of the compressors with a 1750rpm motor will be quiet, so which ever one of those fits in your budget should be fine +/- 5db

Thanks for your reply impulse.It's hard to find the rpm listing on some comp. as they don't show them all. I did find a listing on some Champion ones 5hp at 805rpm's and 7.5hp at 1035 rpm's but no db's listing.There cost is like half of the Belaire QP but I wonder how they compare?

look into these...

motor rpm and compressor rpm are two different things.. your quieter compressors will generally have 1750 rpm electric motors and <750 rpm @ the compressor.

quincys and eatons seem to be the forum favorites if that means anything.

Thanks again impulse! I was not not aware of the diff. in the rpm rateing and those eatons look nice for half the price! Over a $1000 and only 5db diff. I could build a small wall around it if need be . I quess i"ll be calling them to see about shiping now. Thanks again.
