CompAir launches dynamic new compressors in D-Series range

CompAir has announced its latest oil-free rotary screw compressors as part of its new D-Series range , delivering reliability , dynamic efficiency , lower operating costs , and high-quality oil-free compressed air .
The range covers air and water-cooled models from 37 to 75 kW and is available in both fixed and regulated speeds ( RS ) delivering ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 0 certified 100 % oil-free air for the most critical applications , e . g . within the food and beverage , pharmaceutical , textile , and electronics industries . No oil is used in the compression elements , neither for sealing or lubricating the rotors , nor for cooling the compression process directly , reducing the risk of costly downtime and contaminated products .
For RS models , the combination of variable speed operation and hybrid permanent magnet ( HPM ®) motor delivers ultra-efficient performance and lower energy costs . Offering best-inclass efficiency and 30 % or more energy savings compared to conventional compressor control , the simple , virtuallymaintenance free HPM ® motor has 60 % fewer components than a standard induction version . It has no bearings , pulleys , gears , or motor shaft seals to wear out , leak or need replacing , meaning reduced service time and spend . The motor also requires less power at start-up ( 95 % efficiency at start-up ) compared to other VSD compressors and never operates unloaded thanks to an unlimited number of starts and stops .
