Fire Protection Compressor Series
Whisper Quiet Series (LD)
Whisper quiet, compact units that are specifically designed for settings where noise is a concern. These units are oil-free, easy to install, and low maintenance. New construction or tight systems with minimal air leaks are a good match for this series. Available in riser mount & tank mount configurations. Our tankless whisper-quiet units feature our Digital AMD Gen-3 with Leak Detection. Whisper Quiet Series units include a 1-year warranty.
Oil Lubricated Tank Mount Series (HD & SD)
When reliability is essential, C-Aire recommends the Oil Lubricated Tank Series. Our Heavy Duty (HD) oil-lubricated compressors are built for longevity and provide the lowest total cost of ownership over the life of the building. In addition to new projects where the compressor will last for many years, the Oil Lubricated Tank Series is the perfect solution for replacing failed compressors in older systems. Our Standard Duty (SD) oil-lubricated compressors are dependable units, built at an economical price. The HD and SD Series include a 1-year unit warranty and a 3-year pump warranty.
Baseplate Series
Tankless units that contain a motor, pump, and Digital AMD Gen-3 or 30-40 psi pressure switch. Our portable units are baseplate compressors fitted with pneumatic tires, a long handle, rubber feet, and a storage bracket for the handle. The baseplate and portable units feature our Digital AMD Gen-3 with Leak Detection. Baseplate and Portable units include a 1-year warranty and a 3-year pump warranty.
Cold Storage Dry Air Series
FM Approved (R900 & R1700) regenerative drying air compressors that are specifically designed for dry pipe and pre-action sprinkler systems in freezer/refrigerated rooms and cold storage areas. The regenerative drying process (four molecular sieve towers) dries system air to a less than -40°F dewpoint, which will prevent the dangerous formation of ice plugs in cold storage systems, as well as stop the corrosion process.
