CompAir launches premium 90 to 132kW screw compressor models

Gardner Denver has launched a new, premium range of oil-lubricated screw compressors as part of the CompAir L-Series, which offer best-in-class efficiency against competitor systems.

The premium range, available in 90 kW, 110kW and 132kW models, combine a fixed speed compressor with IE4 motors. This creates a system that delivers energy efficiency improvements of 2.3 per cent when compared with the standard models.

 

With businesses around the world striving to implement increasingly sustainable strategies and equipment in order to reduce the environmental impact of their operations, the new premium range can help offer businesses a long-lasting and energy efficient investment.

The new models feature a newly patented oil regulation valve, which automatically regulates oil injections and discharge temperature according to environmental conditions. Not only does this reduce power consumption, but it eliminates the risk of condensate and corrosion in the system too. It also helps maintain the oil’s high quality throughout the compressor’s lifetime, reducing the unit’s total cost of ownership.

The premium models also include an improved airend, designed and manufactured at Gardner Denver’s Centre of Excellence in Simmern, Germany. The company is so confident in the capabilities of its airend technology that it is supported by the CompAir Assure warranty, which covers the airend for up to ten years or 44,000 hours. The airend is the heart of the compressor, and the improved technology from Gardner Denver features a larger-sized inlet and outlet to help improve air flow and reduce pressure drop.

As Industry 4.0 drives the need for users to share and analyse asset data, businesses are demanding more intelligent insights from compressed air performance to remove risks, improve productivity and reduce energy consumption. The premium range supports iConn, Gardner Denver’s digital analytics platform for helping manage and optimise compressed air usage, as well as a user-friendly touch-screen control system that provides a range of insightful monitoring capabilities.

Dora Artemiadi, Product Manager for Industrial Compressors EMEA at Gardner Denver, said: “As a leader in the compressed air industry, we are committed to bringing the latest compressor innovations to market, which deliver reliable and consistent compressed air that operators can depend on. Our new screw compressors are just the latest example, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce a system’s whole life costs.

“For example, we compared one of the premium units with a number of alternative models. Our compressor delivered five per cent greater energy efficiency, as well as a flow rate up to 12 per cent higher. And the impact on running costs? Energy savings of €3,700 a year against a number of other competitor models, and even possible savings of more than €6,000 when compared with other compressors available in the market.

“Capable of delivering pressure ranges from 7.5 to 10 bar and volume flow between 15.5 to 24.8 m3/min, our new models have been designed so that servicing is a simple and straight-forward process too. Easy access to parts that need replacing, such as filters and separators, helps ensure maintenance is a hassle-free process.

“The premium models also feature many high-quality details that help set it apart from other models available on the market, including Victaulic couplings and an automatic lubrication system for the motor’s bearings, which prevents drive failure due to improper or poor lubrication.

“As a global player with a large and established distribution network that can help with on-going servicing and maintenance, Gardner Denver is a compressor brand that thousands of organisations around the world rely on for their compressed air. The new 90kW, 110kW and 132kW screw compressors are our latest premium solutions to help businesses improve the operational efficiencies of their compressed air processes, reducing energy consumption and saving money.”
