HAC15-VS, 15HP Variable-Speed Air Compressor, 53 Gal. Capacity
Description
This HAC15-VS, variable-speed air compressor has a 15HP motor, with a 53 gal. capacity, and a 145psi (10bar) maximum working pressure. It is designed to provide dry, filtered, compressed air to CNC machining centers and similar machinery, in order to power moving parts and generate rotational or linear movement where needed. The variable-frequency motor can adjust its motor speed to supply a non-constant rate of compressed air, better matching the real-time air demand of any given system, and lowering overall energy consumption costs.Download documents

- 3 - 1 gal Synthetic air Compressor Oil (09-0966)
- 1 - Air filter (09-0967)
Variable-speed drive (VSD) compressors match the demand for air by varying the speed of the compressor motor. When pressure in the tank is low, the compressor runs at full speed. The motor runs at slower speeds once the pressure reaches a specific value, to maintain a constant pressure. A soft-start system greatly reduces energy surges when the motor starts. The variable-speed drive greatly reduces the number of starts and stops, as well as reduces the energy draw when running at slower speeds. Variable-speed compressors will always be more energy-efficient than fixed-speed compressors, but that efficiency increases when the compressed air drawn from the tank is more intermittent. Variable-speed compressors use electronic controls to limit pressure variation to as little as 1.5 psi (0.1 bar), providing more consistent pressure to every device on your pneumatic system.
Variable-speed compressors also typically have a longer life, because they are not always running at “full speed,” like fixed-speed compressors, which reduces stress on the components throughout the life of the compressor.
Power Requirements:

198 – 242 VAC
NOTE: Please follow the maintenance schedule listed below. Also, consult your local municipality's codes for any required annual inspections of the tank itself. Haas compressors are designed with safety and compliance in mind. These units meet applicable CE safety standards, and the compressor tanks are ASME certified. Please note that ETL certification is not currently available for these units; requirements may vary by location, installation, and customer application, so customers should confirm any site-specific certification needs with their local authority or compliance representative.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Your new Haas HAC15-FS Air Compressor will be delivered directly to your shop (or designated address) in a secure shipping crate, and will require basic assembly and set up. A step-by-step installation guide is available here – so you can install and set up the unit yourself. Our easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide walks you through the entire process, so you’ll be up and running quickly; and installing the unit yourself does not void your warranty.
NOTE: All electrical and plumbing connections must be performed by qualified personnel, following all local regulations and guidelines.
Haas Variable-Speed Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Ready to upgrade your air compressor? Need more CFM and cleaner, dryer air? Haas has both a Fixed-Speed and Variable-Speed version of these 15 horsepower, 52 gallon, 52 CFM rotary-screw compressors. The Variable-Speed style meets air demand needs that change considerably throughout the work day or work week, and the direct-drive motor spinning the rotary-screw compressor yields a system with noise levels below 68 dB. Add in the efficient air dryer and 3-stage filtering and you've got the clean and dry air your shop needs.
*All electrical and plumbing connections should be performed by qualified personnel.
