Champion HPL15D-24 Air Compressor – 15HP PL-Series
$10,230.00
The HPL15D-24 is designed for high-volume compressed air infrastructure, not small shop use. The duplex system allows both pumps to operate together during peak demand or alternate under lighter loads, improving efficiency and extending service life.
The PL-Series pressure lubrication system is a key upgrade over splash-lubricated designs, continuously feeding oil under pressure to bearings and internal components. This significantly improves durability in environments with:
- Long runtime cycles
- Frequent compressor starts
- High ambient heat loads
- Continuous multi-machine air demand
The large 240-gallon tank stabilizes system pressure, reducing compressor cycling and ensuring consistent air delivery to multiple production stations.

Description
Champion HPL15D-24 Air Compressor – 15 HP PL-Series Pressure Lubricated Duplex Industrial Compressor (240 Gallon)
The Champion HPL15D-24 Air Compressor is a high-capacity industrial PL-Series duplex pressure-lubricated reciprocating compressor system designed for large manufacturing facilities, automotive production lines, CNC machining centers, and continuous-duty compressed air networks. It features two 15 HP three-phase electric compressor pumps (30 HP total system output), Champion’s PL-40 series two-stage cast iron pressure-lubricated pumps, and a 240-gallon ASME-certified horizontal air receiver tank.
This model is engineered for maximum airflow, redundancy, and 24/7 industrial operation, making it suitable for facilities where compressed air demand is constant and downtime is not acceptable.
It delivers approximately 102 CFM at 175 PSI, with the ability to support higher pressure operation up to 250 PSI depending on configuration, making it one of the most powerful reciprocating systems in Champion’s PL-Series lineup.
Key Features
- Duplex configuration: (2) 15 HP industrial three-phase motors
- Total system power: 30 HP combined output
- Heavy-duty PL-40 pressure-lubricated two-stage cast iron pumps
- High airflow output: ~102 CFM @ 175 PSI
- Maximum pressure: 175 PSI (up to 250 PSI PL-rated capability)
- Positive-displacement pressure lubrication system for critical components
- Hydraulic loadless starting system for reduced motor stress
- Disc valve technology for improved efficiency and airflow stability
- ASME-certified 240-gallon horizontal air receiver tank
- Designed for continuous-duty 24/7 industrial environments
- Built-in redundancy: one pump can support partial load if demand drops
Ideal Applications
- Manufacturing plants and production lines
- CNC machining and automation systems
- Automotive assembly and service facilities
- Large fabrication workshops
- Industrial maintenance systems
- Multi-user compressed air networks
- 24/7 production environments

Before ordering the Champion HPL15D-24 Air Compressor – 15HP PL-Series from Champion, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.
What to Check Before You Buy
- Total the real CFM demand of every tool that could run at the same time, then add reserve capacity for leaks and future tools – not just the single largest tool's rating.
- Confirm voltage and phase availability (120V/240V, single/three-phase) matches the compressor's electrical requirement.
- Check tank size relative to duty cycle – a larger tank reduces motor cycling on intermittent loads but does not substitute for adequate CFM on continuous-demand tools.
- Review noise rating if the compressor will run in an occupied or noise-sensitive space.
Does tank size matter more than CFM for a shop air compressor?
CFM output matters more for continuous-demand tools (sanders, grinders); tank size matters more for intermittent high-draw tools (impact wrenches, nail guns) where the tank supplies a burst faster than the motor could alone. Undersized CFM cannot be fixed by a bigger tank if the tool's continuous demand exceeds the compressor's output.
For sizing help across the full Compressor category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
