BelAire QP338VE 5HP 80 Gallon Quiet Performance Three Phase Electric Air Compressor
⚡ IMPORTANT: Three-Phase Power Required
This compressor requires 208-230V three-phase electrical power to operate. Please verify your facility has three-phase power available before ordering.
The BelAire QP338VE is a fully featured 5HP piston air compressor engineered for demanding professional environments where power and quiet operation are equally important. Built around an 80-gallon vertical ASME/CRN certified tank, this workhorse delivers 18.5 ACFM at 100 PSI and 16.6 ACFM at 175 PSI, providing consistent compressed air for body shops, manufacturing facilities, and high-volume production environments. What sets the QP series apart is its high-strength sound dampening enclosure that keeps noise levels at just 66 dBA—significantly quieter than traditional open-frame compressors—making it ideal for noise-sensitive workspaces.
Standard features include a magnetic starter, low oil level switch, triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler, automatic tank drain, and vibration isolator pads. A high flow fan ensures superior cooling even during extended run times. The low oil level protection, automatic tank drain, and high temperature shut down allow for carefree operation with minimal maintenance intervention. The cast iron cylinder construction ensures decades of reliable service under the most demanding conditions. As with all BelAire air compressors, the QP338VE is 100% factory tested at full pressure and is backed by the best warranty in the business.

Engineered for Professional Reliability
The BelAire Quiet Performance series represents the perfect balance between industrial capability and workplace-friendly operation. The sound dampening enclosure dramatically reduces noise without sacrificing cooling efficiency—the integrated high flow fan ensures optimal operating temperatures even during continuous duty cycles. Vibration isolator pads minimize floor transmission of compressor operation, further enhancing the quiet working environment.
Built for durability, the QP338VE features a cast iron cylinder that resists wear far better than aluminum alternatives. The triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler efficiently removes heat and moisture from compressed air before it enters the tank, protecting your air tools and extending their service life. With compact dimensions of 38.2" × 24.3" × 80" and a vertical tank design, this compressor maximizes air capacity while minimizing floor space requirements.
Every BelAire compressor undergoes 100% factory testing at full pressure before leaving the facility, ensuring you receive equipment that's ready to perform from day one. The magnetic starter provides reliable motor protection and simplified electrical integration. The automatic tank drain removes accumulated condensate without manual intervention, reducing maintenance requirements and preventing moisture-related issues in your compressed air system.
