Atlas Copco Oil-injected Rotary Screw Compressors 30-90 kW/40-125 hp GA 30+-90/GA 37-90 VSD®

AIR SYSTEM INTEGRATION The GA+ WorkPlace Air System can be placed where you need it. Its low noise operation and integrated air treatment equipment eliminate the need for a separate compressor room. Moreover, all compressors are delivered ready for use, reducing installation costs to a minimum. REDUCED ENERGY COSTS The cost of compressed air can represent over 40% of your total electrical costs. Our GA+ compressors can reduce energy costs and overall compressor lifecycle costs (LCC) thanks to the use of our highly efficient element. Furthermore, the GA VSD additionally reduces energy costs...

Most production processes create fluctuating levels of demand which, in turn, can create energy waste in low use periods. Using either the standard or graphic Elektronikon® controller, you can manually or automatically create two different system pressure bands to optimize energy use and reduce costs at low use times. In addition, the sophisticated Delayed Second Stop (DSS) runs the drive motor only when needed. As the desired system pressure is maintained while the drive motor’s run time is minimized, energy consumption is kept at a minimum. DUAL PRESSURE SET POINT & DELAYED SECOND STOP...

Energy can represent over 70% of a compressor’s lifecycle costs (LCC). Generating compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. Most production environments have a fluctuating air demand depending on the time of day, week, or even months per year. Atlas Copco’s Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology mirrors air usage - automatically adjusting the motor speed depending on demand. With VSD technology, Atlas Copco has made major energy cost savings a reality, while helping to protect the environment for future generations. Variable Speed Drive: driving down...
