Variable speed drive - Reduce your energy costs
The cost of energy consumed by compressors accounts for more than 80% of their life cycle cost. In addition, the cost spent on the production of compressed air accounts for more than 40% of the total electricity bill of the factory. To help you cut energy costs, Atlas Copco was the first in the compressed air industry to adopt variable speed drive (VSD) technology. VSD not only saves a great deal of energy, but also protects the environment for future generations.
Advanced monitoring function
The Elektronikon® controller can meet your specific needs through additional functions such as sensors, digital contacts, fieldbus, Internet and SMS communication. If used in conjunction with the ES multi-split compressor controller, it can optimize the operation of your entire compressor room.
Enhanced control
To fully enhance energy efficiency, Elektronikon® can control the main drive motor and adjust the system pressure within a preset narrow pressure range.
Technical advantages
Advanced control and monitoring
Elektronikon® controls the main drive motor and regulates the system pressure within a preset narrow pressure range.
High energy efficiency
The powerful water cooling capacity ensures efficient heat dissipation from the source, thereby increasing the gas production per kilowatt-hour of electricity.
Energy conservation
By eliminating load/no-load conversion losses, VSD models can achieve energy savings of up to 35%. Precise pressure control enables the adoption of a narrower pressure range and a lower average working pressure, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Low-noise operation
The AQ compressor is equipped with a soundproof casing and is suitable for use in most working environments without the need for a single unit
