California Air Tools Ultra Quiet, Ultra-Dry, Oil-Free Air Compressor, 6 HP #11642D

The California Air Tools 6 HP Ultra Quiet, Ultra-Dry, Oil-Free Air Compressor with 98% Air Drying System is designed to be one of the industry's quietest 6 HP air compressors, with only 78 decibels of sound. The three powerful 2.0 HP (SP-9421-22060) motors operate at just 1,680 RPM creating less noise and less wear. Designed for the user looking for power, airflow, and less service and maintenance with at least 30% less noise!

The "SP" series of ultra-quiet air compressor motors have been designed to increase duty cycle and allow for longer continuous run times (i.e. may run continuously at 6.0 CFM @ 90 PSI for up to 6 hours at a time, or intermittently at 12.0 CFM @ 90 PSI).

This air compressor has an oil-free, dual-piston pump engineered for high performance and durability and designed to have a life cycle of 3,000+ hours compared to 1,500 hours or less for other comparable air compressors.

The large 20-gallon steel air tank is just the right size for dental practices and milling, manufacturing clean rooms, restaurants/bakeries, and general pneumatics that require clean ultra-dry air.

To dry the air from the air compressor an Aftercooler and 98% Air Dryer are utilized via a highly efficient twin-tower auto-purging system. The Air Dryer is specially designed to remove up to 98% of the water vapor from the air to protect sensitive tools and machinery. 

The aftercooler is a heat exchanger for cooling the discharge air from the air compressor. The water vapor from the compressed air is condensed into liquid form and pushed into the 98% Air Dryer.

The easy-to-replace "Spin-On" Air Dryer Cartridges have a regenerating High-Temperature Molecular Sieve Desiccant to dry the air.

This cartridge dryer has an average life of 2-years before replacement.

Extras

Easy Start Valve Feature:

The Easy Start Valve feature allows for a easier start up using less starting amps. The Easy Start Valve releases a small amount of air from the pump at start up to produce a no-load condition allowing the motor to spin freely. This no-load start up requires less amps for a easier start up in cold temperatures.

Automatic Drain Valve is not required on this model due to high drying efficiency of the Twin-Tower Auto Purge Air Dryer System.
