Ingersoll Rand 15TE20 20hp Air Compressor, Premium Package, 72cfm, Constant Run, 120 Gallon Tank Ingersoll-Rand Bestsellers

The Ingersoll Rand 15TE20 is a heavy duty industrial grade 20hp reciprocating air compressor. This model is designed for facilties that need a high quality air compressor they can depend on. Ingersoll-Rand Two-Stage electric air compressors provide the quality and performance that are ideal for most applications and users, including: automotive service and body shops; fleet maintenance; machine shops; production/manufacturing lines and farms. The 15TE20 can be pre-wired to run on 208v, 230v or 460v three phase power.

The 15T pump utilizes three 100% cast iron cylinders in a v-type configuration. There are two intake cylinders and one high pressure cylinder that will compress the airflow up to 175psi. The cylinders are honed for low oil carryover and radial fins on the culinders help remove heat and provide increased cooling. Unlike traditional inline pumps, the 15T design has a 3 piece intercooler made of finned copper to provide maximum cooling area. It is located directly in the flywheel air blast to remove the heat of compression between stages keeping running temperatures and power needs to a minimum, ensuring high air delivery for horsepower expended.

A E-series magnetic motor starter is included and pre-wired to the pressure switch and motor. Starters provide full voltage control of electric motors. They include thermal relays which protect the motor windings from harmful currents and resultant temperature rise caused by overloaded motor, low line voltage or stalled rotor. An on/off switch is also included.

This 15TE20 Ingersoll Rand reciprocating air compressor is their “Premium Package” model. The premium package includes:

• Air cooled aftercooler – An optional aircooled aftercooler lowers package discharge air to within 25°F of ambient temperature. A relief valve is provided to protect against over-pressurization.
• Low oil level shutdown switch which will automatically shut off the pump if oil is low. This prevents the pump from seizing up during operation.
• Automatic tank drain – As air cools in the receiver, moisture drops out and accumulates in the tank. An automatic drain valve provides unattended, automatic draining of the moisture from the receiver tank.
• Dual Control/Constant Run – the operator can change the setting on the air compressor to either run in on/off model or constant run. In constant run mode, head unloaders hold the valves shut so the compressor will continually run but will not build air when the upper pressure setpoint is met. This prevents the motor from excessively starting and stopping during operation and lengthens the motor life.
• Centrifugal unloader – The centrifugal unloader automatically bleeds the air from intercoolers and cylinders, preventing the compressor from starting against full load. This protects the motor from premature wear.

The 15TE20-P is mounted on a 120 gallon horizontal air receiver that is ASME coded and includes a pressure gauge, ball valve and safety relief valve.
