Saylor-Beall 2 HP Simplex Climate Control Reciprocating Air Compressor
The Saylor-Beall 2 HP Simplex Climate Control Reciprocating Air Compressor is engineered for demanding commercial and industrial climate control applications requiring dependable compressed air for pneumatic HVAC systems, building automation, laboratory air systems, instrumentation, and process controls. Built in St. Johns, Michigan, this industrial-duty compressor combines heavy-duty cast-iron construction with low-speed operation to deliver exceptional reliability, low oil carry-over, and long service life.
Powered by Saylor-Beall’s rugged 703 two-stage compressor pump, this unit produces 8.3 ACFM at 100 PSI while operating at a conservative 540 RPM. The slow-speed pump design reduces internal temperatures, vibration, and wear, helping maximize compressor longevity while maintaining stable air delivery for sensitive pneumatic systems.
Unlike light-duty retail compressors designed for occasional use, the Saylor-Beall Climate Control series is built specifically for continuous commercial and industrial operation. The compressor features cast-iron pump construction, precision-honed cylinders, disc valves, oversized tapered roller bearings, automotive-style insert crankshaft bearings, and a high-flow flywheel for improved cooling and operating efficiency.
The specialized piston ring design helps reduce compressed air blow-by and minimize oil carry-over into pneumatic controls and instrumentation systems, making this compressor an ideal solution for facilities where clean and dependable compressed air is critical.
The 2 HP Simplex Climate Control compressor is available with both 60-gallon and 80-gallon ASME air receiver options. The larger 80-gallon receiver provides increased stored air volume, improved pressure stability, and reduced compressor cycling for applications with intermittent air demand.
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 to simplify installation across a variety of commercial and industrial facilities.
Every Saylor-Beall Climate Control compressor includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for dependable motor protection, simplified electrical integration, and reliable industrial operation.
Designed for long-term ownership, this compressor features a maintenance-friendly industrial layout with accessible valves, replaceable bearings, durable cast-iron components, and simplified service access to help reduce downtime and operating costs throughout the life of the compressor.
