COMPRESSED AIR FEATURE
VSD compressor offers up to 10% more output and 15% lower energy consumption
90-160 VSD+ is housed in a soundproof, enclosed canopy and equipped with two high-efficiency permanent magnet motors, plus a new state-of-the-art compressor element and cooler design. The ZR 90-160 VSD+ compressor
A
tlas Copco has launched the ZR 90- 160 VSD+; a new range of oil-free
rotary screw air compressors with motor variants of 90, 110, 132, 145 and 160kW. They are claimed to offer up to 10 per cent more flow and up to 15 per cent less energy consumption compared with other VSD compressors, as well as a 25 per cent reduction in floor-space. Suitable for applications in the food and beverage, electronics, automotive, textile and pharmaceutical industries, which require oil-free air to guarantee product integrity and quality, the water-cooled ZR
incorporates two permanent magnet motors, each independently driving the low and high pressure compression elements. The speed of the elements is controlled using Atlas Copco’s NEOS Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology. NEOS optimises the speed of both elements throughout the entire operational speed range of the compressor to maximise unit efficiency. The NEOS drive and motors are
designed and manufactured by Atlas Copco to ensure a perfect match and optimal performance. The IP66 water- cooled permanent magnet motors contain oil-lubricated bearings to ensure a long maintenance-free lifetime. Moreover, all service parts are grouped together for ease of access for a minimal service time.
Atlas Copco’s data monitoring program
‘SMARTLINK’ is also integrated as standard in the new range. This remote monitoring system provides analysis of the whole compressed air system, advises users on how they can reduce energy costs and can predict preventive maintenance interventions to avoid potential downtime. To illustrate the vast potential of the technology, Atlas Copco recently performed live field tests with a number of customers. This included leading Italian-beer brand Peroni, who trialled a ZR 160 kW VSD+ oil-free compressor for over 6,000 running hours at its production site in Padova, Italy. The ZR 90-160 VSD+ can be offered
with an Atlas Copco Total Responsibility Service Plan, which takes care of all compressor maintenance, upgrades, repairs and possible breakdowns throughout the life of the compressor.
