The GA VSDS oil-injected screw compressor can include an optional energy recovery system that is said to ensure additional energy savings with up to 80% heat recovery.
The compressor features an IE5 ferrite-assisted synchronous reluctance motor that does not rely on rare earth materials.
A feature is the smart temperature control system, which ensures injection temperature control to eliminate the risk of condensation and maximise compression efficiency.
The boost flow mode allows operators to temporarily and safely exceed their compressor’s maximum capacity. The limp mode ensures the compressor keeps working even when there is an issue.
The GA VSDS comes with an Elektronikon Touch operating system, EQ2i multiple compressor control, Smartlink remote monitoring and analysis and OPC unified architecture connectivity.
The low sound levels allow the GA 5-18 VSDS to be installed on the production floor. The smallest units (5-11 kW) can be delivered with a side-mounted vessel for air storage with a minimal footprint.
Ben John, business line manager, industrial air at Atlas Copco Compressors UK, said: “Today’s customers want it all, and the GA VSDS delivers it all: sustainability, savings, smart and silent performance, superior connectivity, and a small footprint. With the addition of the 5-18 kW models, we can extend these benefits to customers who need a smaller compressor for their workshop or factory.”
VSDS will be implemented throughout the 5 to 110 kW Atlas Copco GA VSD oil-injected screw compressor range. The GA 5-18 VSDS is now available for order worldwide.
