Champion CA-Series Page

Oil-less compressors are the standard in industries such as medical, lab/research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and semi-conductor. Oil contamination is extremely detrimental to these processes. Pure air quality demands are rapidly growing with new regulations and laws regarding oil contamination throughout multiple industries and applications. Champion has designed the CA-Series scroll compressor specifically for these applications that require 100% OIL-FREE AIR, including NFPA & CSA code compliant multiplex systems.

100% oil-less rotary scroll
3 – 10 hp
116 psi or 140 psi
9.2 – 126.4 CFM
Industrial & Medical
Enclosed or Unenclosed
Simplex or Multiplex configurations
Base or Tank Mounted options

Champion L-Series Page

The fixed speed rotary screw L-Series is equipped with standard TEFC main motors, wye-delta starters, Pilot™ or Governor™ microprocessor controllers and quiet enclosures, an L-Series unit from Champion is the optimal solution when a feature-rich, simple-to-operate compressor is required.

L-Series compressors are available in base mount or AirStation™ conﬁgurations. The plug-and-play AirStation™ is an L-Series compressor mounted on a horizontal receiver tank with or without a refrigerated air dryer. Featuring standard high-end and optional components such as a three-way bypass valve, stainless steel piping, integrated forklift slots and an automatic tank drain, the L-Series AirStation™ is the ideal solution for a compressed air system that requires minimal installation time and cost.

Oil-flooded rotary screw
Belt Drive (L04–L22) and Direct-Gear Drive (L23–L29)
5 – 40 hp
100 psi, 125 psi or 190 psi
12.9 – 193.1 CFM

Champion LRS-Series Page

LRS-Series compressors from Champion^® feature more than just the latest compressor technology. They contain the cleanest, simplest, most intuitive machine layouts on the market. Equipped with standard TEFC main motors, robust and high performing Eaton inverter drives, Governor™ microprocessor controllers and quiet enclosures, an LRS-Series unit from Champion is the optimal solution when a feature-rich, simple-to-operate compressor is required.

Variable speed compressors from Champion can efficiently and reliably handle the varying air demand. The right variable speed compressor in the right application delivers signiﬁcant energy savings and a stable air supply at constant pressure. Using a variable speed compressor can easily save 25% energy by using just the right amount of energy required to do the job and no more.

LRS-Series compressors are available in base mount or AirStation™ conﬁgurations. The plug-and-play AirStation™ conﬁguration is an LRS-Series compressor mounted on a horizontal receiver tank with or without a refrigerated air dryer.

Champion LV/LVR Series Page

The Champion® LV/LVR Series are fixed speed, direct drive rotary vane compressors designed for continuous duty. Available in airend, tripod, simplex, duplex, and hypac configurations. 2–10 hp, 100–150 psi, delivers 6.3–72.8 CFM.

These popular continuous-duty rotary vane compressors are great for applications that have outgrown a reciprocating compressor and/or have a low noise requirement. When compared to a rotary screw compressor, a rotary vane unit is less complex and often has a smaller footprint. Rotary vane compressors are typically priced between a reciprocating compressor and rotary screw compressor.

- Tripod: 2 hp
- Simplex: 2–15 hp
- Duplex: 5–10 hp
CFM
- Tripod: up to 6.3
- Simplex: up to 36.4
- Duplex: up to 72.8
