Efficiency is aided by the optimal combination of the Variable Speed Drive and permanent magnet motor. The compressor’s integrated VSD-driven permanent magnet electric motor requires only low power for start-up, so there is no need to oversize the power supply. In addition, there is also no need to oversize the pneumatic tools. The Variable Speed Drive and permanent magnet motor also make an important contribution to efficiency.
When working in a residential area or an enclosed space such as a subway, the E-Air range provides a reliable flow of compressed air without any emissions. This lowers the need for air ventilation in any underground application, a significant part of the running costs when using diesel air compressors.
VSD E-Air compressors are smaller and lighter than equivalent diesel air compressors. The new VSD E-Air range features Atlas Copco’s PACE system (Pressure Adjusted through Cognitive Electronics). This enables users to control the pressure between 5 and 12bar, in precise 0.1bar increments.
