Achieve reduced air compressor electricity consumption
If you want to reduce electricity consumption, investing in a new variable speed drive (VSD) air compressor may be worthwhile.
We know each company has different compressed air needs, which is why it can be hard to decide on the best air compressor. You don’t need a standard solution. You need the compressor that is just right for you.
A variable speed drive (VSD) machine delivers exactly this flexibility. If your compressed air flow changes throughout the day, this equipment will match your needs.
Designed for various applications, including heavy industry, woodwork, textiles, recycling, pulp & paper, chemical & petrochemical, and general manufacturing, an Atlas Copco VSD compressor offers lots of options for a custom compressed air solution.
When combined with other air compressors as part of a system, you’ll find many benefits of a VSD, including smart connectivity, easy installation and maintenance, and more sustainable production through significangt energy savings.
As mentioned above, a VSD air compressor can meet the demands of many industrial applications. Unlike a fixed speed compressor, which is either 100% on or off, a VSD changes motor speed depending on the air demand.
VSD compressors are designed to efficiently switch between various levels of air flow. In addition to their adaptability, a VSD air compressor helps save on energy costs by lowering their motor speed and consuming less energy when they can.
Since air compressors can make up to 40% of electric expenses, the cost savings can be huge. The latest generation of Atlas Copco GA VSDS models can save up to 60% in energy expenses compared to a fixed speed GA.
It's important to remember that the majority of an air compressor's expenses are operational costs. Opting into an efficient setup will save you in the long run.
If you work across different applications requiring varying levels of air flow, a VSD air compressor will definitely be the right choice. In some instances, they provide an all-in-one solution.
If you're evaluating your air compressor needs, a VSD machine is worth considering. Whether you need to replace existing equipment or are looking for a new air compressor, a VSD is probably the right solution. They also work with existing compressed air setups if you're looking to expand.
VSD air compressors come in a variety of sizes. As with all Atlas Copco machines, we design equipment with the latest innovations and technology. A wide range of options ensures a tailored performance.
