Ingersoll-Rand 2340L5 Type 30 Two-Stage Air Compressor

Ingersoll-Rand 2340L5 Type 30 Two-Stage Air Compressor
  • Base Model

I have had this compressor for a little over a year now and it seams to operate fine. The instructions for installation are in my opinion vague. If you have never installed a big machine take your time. It is quite top heavy and you will need 2 people to manuver it around. I put isolation feet at the mounting legs and it does help considerably with vibration isolation. A booklet should be included with the compressor showing different airline hookups and hardware required. Overall a decent machine.

Ingersoll Rand Air Compressors are not what they used to be. I purchased this compressor, brand new 11 months ago for home use (April 2011). It powers a tire machine, and a few air tools for approx. 8 hours use per month. After 40 hours, the valves went in the first stage head. After 11 months, the pressure switch went, and the oil started leaking from two head bolts on the first stage head. If I would have known Ingersoll Rand Air Compressors had this poor of quality, I would have purchased something else.

  • Electrical rating: 12 VDC 0.18 amps

  • Ambient temperature : 40° to 175°F

My shop furnace went south last year and began troubleshooting what was wrong. Seemed to be gas valve and picked one of these up. It is 6 months later and it did a great job through the winter into spring. Exact replacement and easy to install. Good packaging and directions.
