Over the years changes in building designs have led to all types of cost savings and space efficiencies but they have also caused new problems to come to light. Many newer buildings no longer have equipment rooms or utility areas. Instead the equipment meant for these spaces – like fire protection air compressors – have been moved right in the middle of offices, right next to bedrooms in hotels or right behind choirs in churches. Our air compressors didn’t get loud, they got installed in used spaces. The Q series is our newly developed line of quiet fire protection air compressors that directly address noise issues. This completely redesigned oil less line is capable of filling systems up to 500 gallons in 30 minutes while running at an average of 60 dBA. This is a 20 dBA drop from our standard OL Plus line!
