We have an older Quincy rotary scroll compressor (QSB25N315J) that has been running well until a few months ago when we started to hear a very loud screaming noise from what seems to be the intake area. The unit was under normal load conditions as far as we could tell, the belts were turning and the capacity gauge was reading 100% (normally running around 60%) Our overall system pressure appeared to be holding steady.

I agree with you. If the noise comes back the bearings are the next place I’ll look. I appreciate your assistance!

Cool. Let us know how it goes. You might want to start looking for a new set of belts if they’re getting checkered.

Why does my Quincy 325 get louder as it approaches max pressure. Regulator set at 110psi. The compressor runs normal until it approaches the 75 psi range. No problem making air just concerned about the change in sound.

Louis, your post was moved to the Quincy page.

thanks
