1) Can you please confirm with the client for the compressor do they want oil free rotary screw? Or oil flooded rotary screw? Normally you see desiccant dryers with oil free applications but wanted to confirm with you.
Answer: Oil free screw type 2) Is the requested compressor intended to be a current Quincy model, a legacy Quincy model, or a brand neutral performance specification?
Answer: Brand neutral 3) The current Quincy QGSV 25 is variable speed and direct drive, and its current public table lists 125.1 cubic feet per minute at 100 pounds per square inch gauge. The current QGD 25 is gear driven and fixed speed, and its current public table lists 109.8 cubic feet per minute at 125 pounds per square inch gauge. What exact current model or combination satisfies variable speed, gear drive, 25 horsepower, and 117.6 cubic feet per minute at 125 pounds per square inch gauge?
Answer: The model selected should be as close to matching Quincy QGDV series unit 4) Is a current Original Equipment Manufacturer controller accepted if the named Q Control Touch controller is unavailable on the compliant 25 horsepower model.

Answer: Single compressor 12) Is this material and parts only, or does this include installation? This includes factory startup which makes it seem like we are supposed to provide installation.
