Compressor manufacturer CompAir has extended its 100% oil-free compressor range with the launch of a new 110kW water injected machine.
The new DH110-SR compressor is a speed regulated, water injected screw model, extending CompAir’s oil-free DH range from 15-110kW. As with all CompAir’s oil-free DH compressors, it complies with the stringent requirements of ISO8573, class 0.
Jeremy Sykes, managing director at CompAir says: “We introduced the DH110-SR compressor in response to customer demand for a medium sized, water injected, variable speed machine. Previously, the DH series offered compressors from 15-75kW. Even though the new machine has only just launched, we have already seen a great deal of customer interest which indicates there was a gap in the market for a compressor of this type and size.”
The benefits of the CompAir technology used in the DH110-SR compressor are far reaching. With no oil being used anywhere in the compressor at all, and water lubricated bearings, there is no possible risk of oil contamination and no environmental costs associated with oil disposal. With many manufacturing applications needing high-quality ‘active’ air that comes into direct contact with a process, CompAir’s oil-free compressors offer the perfect solution.
The superior cooling properties of water allow the compressor to operate at a low temperature, providing near isothermal compression. And the efficient switched reluctance, variable speed motors ensure that the compressor is working to match air demand. This usually results in significant energy savings for users, improving not only the bottom line but the company’s overall environmental performance.
With a wide range to choose from CompAir offers a simple data logging procedure that it calls SmartACE. This is a non-intrusive process that does not interfere with normal running and monitors the system’s operation over a seven-day cycle. CompAir collects this real time information and can advise companies on their complete compressed air usage and make recommendations for a compressor configuration to most efficiently meet these needs.
