Description
Chicago Pneumatic QRS 5.5 HPD-1 TM Rotary Screw Air Compressor with Dryer | 5.5 HP | 18.1 ACFM @ 145 PSI | 60 Gallon Tank | 230V Single Phase
Quiet, Continuous-Duty Compressed Air for Automotive, Woodworking, and Industrial Shops
The Chicago Pneumatic QRS 5.5 HPD-1 TM is a complete rotary screw air compressor system designed for businesses that need reliable compressed air without the noise, downtime, and maintenance associated with traditional piston compressors. Delivering 18.1 ACFM at 145 PSI, this 5.5 HP rotary screw compressor comes factory mounted on a 60-gallon ASME air receiver tank and includes an integrated refrigerated air dryer for clean, dry compressed air.
Operating on 230 Volt Single Phase power, the QRS 5.5 HPD-1 TM is an excellent solution for automotive repair shops, tire stores, body shops, woodworking facilities, maintenance departments, fabrication shops, and light manufacturing operations that require industrial-grade performance without three-phase electrical service.
Designed for continuous-duty operation, the QRS rotary screw platform can run throughout the workday while maintaining consistent air pressure and airflow. Its ultra-quiet sound enclosure allows installation directly on the shop floor, eliminating the need for a dedicated compressor room in many applications.

Why Choose a Rotary Screw Compressor?
Unlike reciprocating compressors that require cooling periods between cycles, the QRS 5.5 HPD-1 TM is designed for continuous operation. Rotary screw technology delivers smooth, pulse-free airflow while reducing noise, vibration, and wear on pneumatic equipment.
The result is more reliable air production, improved tool performance, and lower long-term operating costs for shops that depend on compressed air every day.
Integrated Refrigerated Dryer Included
Moisture is one of the leading causes of compressed air system problems. The factory-installed refrigerated air dryer removes water vapor before it enters your piping system, helping protect air tools, paint equipment, CNC machinery, plasma cutters, and production equipment from corrosion and moisture contamination.
Compact All-in-One Air System
The QRS 5.5 HPD-1 TM combines three critical compressed air components into one package:
- Rotary Screw Air Compressor
- Refrigerated Air Dryer
- 60 Gallon Air Receiver Tank
This integrated design simplifies installation, reduces floor space requirements, and provides a professional compressed air solution ready for daily operation.
