Energy efficient compressors

Jamie Wade

Atlas Copco has released a range of energy efficient oil-injected compressors.

The compression elements are based on patented asymmetric rotor profiles said to drastically reduce volumetric losses.

Through the optimization of oil injection, flow and temperature, the compression process is kept at the coolest possible temperature, thereby minimizing thermodynamic losses.

The compressors have radial fans with Variable Speed Drive (VSD) regulation, high-efficiency motors and no-loss drains.
