Variable Speed Drive - Driving down your 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.
Advanced monitoring
The Elektronikon® controller can be adapted to your specific needs with extra sensors, digital contacts, fieldbus, Internet and SMS communication functions. Optimize the operation of your complete compressor room by using the ES multiple compressor controller.
More control
To maximize energy efficiency, the Elektronikon® controls the main drive motor and regulates system pressure within a predefined and narrow pressure band.
Benefits
Technical benefits
Advanced control and monitoring
The Elektronikon® controls the main drive motor and regulates system pressure within a predefined and narrow pressure band.
High efficiency
The superior cooling capability of water ensures that heat is removed efficiently at the source to generate more air per kW of power.
Advantages
Energy savings
VSD versions save up to 35% of energy by eliminating load/no load transition losses. Precise pressure control allows a tighter pressure band and a lower average working pressure for reduced energy consumption.
Quiet operation
AQ compressors are supplied in a sound-insulated canopy making them ideal for most working environments. No need for a separate compressor room.
