The AS-XXX Series Powerex Simplex Air Compressors have been designed, broken -in and tested to meet the most demanding specifications in the pneumatic climate control industry for low oil carryover and long life.

All Powerex air compressors have reliable operation and feature high quality construction and components. An unloading feature is included on all compressors to provide loadless start- ing. Oil entrainment is minimized by the use of lap joint piston rings, low compressor speeds and a special lubricating oil with a high flash point and low carbon content.

All 1/2 through 10 hp models are also equipped with an auxiliary cooling fan and air control shroud to achieve low head temperatures and further minimize oil carryover.

Powerex compressor motors are NEMA Class B design. Single-phase motors have built-in overload protection and a DPST disconnect switch. Three-phase motors require a manual or magnetic starter and three overload heater coils which may be ordered as a factory mounted and wired option.
