E-AIR H250 VSD – Our Portable Electric Compressor On The Fields
November 7, 2021
One of our long-term customers preferred using Atlas Copco Portable Diesel Compressors in their projects for many years. Changing the mindset of customers is not an easy task, but with a solid and comprehensive analysis, we finally succeeded, and the customer decided to give E-Air H250 VSD a try and are now using speed electric mobile compressor H250 VSD in their new project.
As you may already know, mobile compressors operate in different operating conditions than Industrial applications. This difference means that the portable compressors run at either idle or half load for most of their operating hours. For this reason, our VSD series engines can adapt to the needs of use with its variable speed and always provide energy savings to our customers. With the principle of "work as long as you use", our electric motor portable compressors are now at your service in the field.
We would like to share the story of our first product with you. We met with our respected and well-known customer, with whom we have been collaborating for many years in domestic and international projects, to discuss the compressor need for use in both Turkey and Europe projects. In our first meetings, all discussions were related to our traditional diesel compressors. However, when we discussed detailed requirements of the customer, we realized that we have a better solution that fits the project requirements. Our aim would be to have a comprehensive study and convey findings to end customer.
We were talking about a compressor that would run at least 8 hours a day throughout the entire project. Since it is an urban project, there are rules that must be followed and limits that should not be exceeded, even in Turkey or in any country in Europe. Such as exhaust gas and noise level. Since the project also included tunnel construction, they would have to choose two different products as diesel for above ground and fixed speed mobile electric compressor for underground. This meant purchasing one product for the first phase of the same business and another for the continuation. In addition, since Turkey has not yet fully transitioned to Stage 5 products, it was expected that the diesel product they would choose would comply with the regulations according to the place of use. They could not use the stage 5 product that they would use in Europe for their projects in Turkey under today's conditions. Again, it meant two different products instead of one product.
In each country, there is a difference of at least 50% between the liter price of diesel fuel and the electricity kWh prices. When we calculate for Turkey, the diesel fuel liter price for that day was 0.72 €, while the kWh fee was 0.09 € including taxes.
