Oil-injected rotary screw compressors

Highest reliability, lowest operating costs The shortest route to maximize your profitability is to minimize your operational costs. With up to 80% of a compressor lifecycle cost coming from the energy it consumes, this should be a clear focus. Atlas Copco's GA compressors with SmartInjection enabled compression elements and IE4 or better class motors are designed to achieve significant energy savings while providing long and troublefree life even in the harshest environmental conditions.

Efficiency At the heart of the GA compressors are state-of-the-art compression elements with SmartInjection technology and high efficiency oil cooled IE4 or better class motors. This highly efficient drive train coupled with generous cooling capacity, low internal pressure drops and precise control from the Elektronikon® Touch ensures optimum efficiency. Reliability The GA compressor's drive train is IP66 rated protecting it completely from environmental dust and moisture ensuring it can operate reliably in the toughest conditions and at ambient temperatures up to 55°C/131°F ....

VSD: driving down energy costs Variable Speed Drive Driving down energy costs Over 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes. Moreover, the generation of compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. To cut your energy costs, Atlas Copco pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology in the compressed air industry. VSD leads to major energy savings, while protecting the environment for future generations. Thanks to continual investments in this technology, Atlas Copco offers the widest range of integrated VSD compressors...

Monitoring and control How to get the most from the least Elektronikon® MK5 Touch The Elektronikon® unit controller is specially designed to maximize the performance of your compressors and air treatment equipment under a variety of conditions. Our solutions provide you with key benefits such as increased energy efficiency, lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance times and less stress… less stress for both you and your entire air system. Intelligence is part of the package The full color touch display gives you an easy to understand readout of the equipment’s running conditions. •...

Dual set-point and automatic stop Most production processes create fluctuating levels of demand which, in turn, can create energy waste in low use periods. Using the Elektronikon® unit controller, you can manually or automatically switch between two different setpoints to optimize energy use and reduce costs at low use times. In addition, the sophisticated algorithm runs the drive motor only when needed. As the desired setpoint is maintained while the drive motor’s run time is minimized, energy consumption is kept to a minimum. SMARTLINK Monitor your compressed air installation with...

Optimize your compressed air system Minimizing Excess Pressure Optimizer 4.0 minimizes the generation of excess compressed air by starting and stopping compressors. Its user friendly interface enables you to set multiple pressure bands, allowing you to optimize your compressor installation for varying circumstances, such as non-productive hours. Full VSD Benefits With Optimizer 4.0 you can realize the full energy saving potential of VSD (Variable Speed Drive). It regulates the VSD to ensure that the compressed air output is proportional to the demand, preventing higher pressures than...
