The Chicago Pneumatic QRS5.0HPD-1 is a 5 HP rotary screw compressor designed for shops that need continuous-duty air but only have 208-230V single-phase power. It delivers 16.6 CFM at 150 PSI, with a maximum pressure of 150 PSI, and combines a 60-gallon horizontal receiver with an integrated air dryer. That single-phase configuration is the key differentiator: instead of upgrading electrical service or adding a phase converter to run a three-phase screw compressor, this model is designed to operate from the power already available in many smaller facilities. The QRS range is produced in Italy by Atlas Copco.
The integrated dryer is equally important for applications where moisture can cause problems downstream. Compressed air carries moisture that can condense as it cools, potentially reaching pneumatic tools, instrumentation, controls, or finished surfaces. With the dryer built into the compressor package, air treatment is part of the system rather than a separate component that must be selected and installed later. The rotary screw airend is rated for 100% duty, allowing continuous operation without the rest periods associated with piston compressors. A 60-gallon receiver provides stored air to help handle changes in demand, while the 62 dBA sound rating makes the machine practical for locations where a louder compressor would be disruptive.
This model is particularly well suited to single-phase automotive shops, body and finish-work facilities, small commercial bays, and serious home workshops that need more continuous air than a piston compressor can comfortably provide. It also makes sense where upgrading the building's electrical service is impractical or undesirable. The combination of single-phase power, continuous-duty screw compression, integrated drying, and a 60-gallon receiver gives these operations a way to move into rotary screw equipment without making a separate electrical upgrade part of the compressor purchase.

Approvals, Stated Plainly
This product's data does not list any third-party approvals for the control panel or pressure vessel. Other models in the same family may list approvals, but we will not apply those claims to this model without supporting documentation.
If your insurer, local authority or plant safety program requires documented approvals or pressure-vessel registration, do not assume they are included. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm the available manufacturer documentation in writing.
Shipping & Delivery
Ships by palletized freight to the lower 48 states, with shipping quoted live at checkout based on your delivery address.
At approximately 474 lbs, plan for a forklift, loading dock or terminal pickup. Residential deliveries may incur an additional fee.
Inspect the shipment before signing. Check the dryer section, cooler, enclosure panels, fins and pallet for damage while the driver is present. Record any damage or shortages on the bill of lading and take photographs before accepting the shipment.
Warranty
The standard warranty is 1 year, with a 5-Year warranty available when the unit receives a factory-authorized start-up, typically quoted at $350.
Because the commissioning fee is described as typical, confirm the current cost before ordering. Professional commissioning also verifies the compressor and integrated dryer setup.
If a fault occurs, stop and isolate the machine before contacting us. Do not open or disassemble the airend, dryer circuit or control panel before a warranty claim is evaluated. Photograph the condition and keep the unit assembled until instructed otherwise.
