Our compressed air systems utilize the latest technology to provide energy efficient solutions with low life-cycle costs. Air purity is attained by meeting strict international standards that can only be achieved with filtration, water separation and drying. The use of clean dry compressed air ensures high levels of reliability, and guarantees that quality standards are met and production costs are reduced.
Our lubricated and oil-free rotary screw compressors incorporate the very latest technological advances and guarantee a continuous supply of high quality compressed air. The screw compression element is designed and manufactured in-house, using the latest CNC rotor grinding machinery.
The screw compressor is a rotary, positive displacement compressor with two axles. The screw compression element is the heart of the compressor. Both the male and female rotors have optimally matched screw-shaped lobes that are very close together and run in the rotor housing that surrounds them closely.
Screw compressors do not have any pulsating parts such as pistons, rods and valves. This facilitates lower vibration operation as far as possible and lowers dynamic loads on supports and coupling. The relatively low number of mechanical parts, especially closure parts, means the risk of a machine break-down is very low.
Unlike piston compressors which use the same principle of compression, the screw element is not equipped with valves. As such, it can work at a high shaft speed and there are no mechanical or volumetric losses to create imbalance. This means that screw technology can combine a large flow rate with a compact, space-saving design.
Unlike oil-flooded compressors, compression in the compressor stages is completely “dry.” This causes the compression medium to heat up significantly, which limits the possible compression ratio per compressor stage. Due to the absence of lubrication, male and female rotor pro-files must mesh in a contact-free manner, but with the smallest possible gaps in between. This is accomplished through the highly precise synchronizing gear (timing gear) on the rotor shafts.
These compressors use lubricant within the compression chamber to cool and lubricate the compressor element. The lubricant helps to form a seal and also has a great noise-damping effect.
Our reciprocating compressor packages are known for their excellent energy efficiency. We have consolidated and at the same time consistently developed this proven technology, maintaining its cutting edge, high-quality, robust construction. The result is an improved Return-On-Investment (ROI) and a shorter payback time.
Integrally geared centrifugal compressors represent the latest technology that delivers higher flows for relatively constant air demands. They are highly efficient and cost-effective when compared to other technologies.
How Engineered Air Compressors Packages WorkEngineered Air Compressors Packages are air systems that convert power into compressed air using an electric motor. The air compressor package is used for compressing the atmospheric air and supplying this compressed air to the air dryer.Compressors, dryers, filters, receivers, coolers, and control systems provide air to different parts of a plant. Some of these parts are essential to keeping the plant running and safe. These packages are engineered and designed to meet any customer requirements, capable of producing the right amount of quality air required by users.
IA and SA packages generally consist of compressors, dryers, filters, receivers, coolers, and control systems that work together to provide reliable (and often critical) air to a variety of plant consumers. Any equipment or system used needs to be properly designed, and able to produce the right amount of quality air required.
All components are tested and pre-commissioned to work as one system. Ingersoll Rand also provides some complete service solutions, including spare parts and completed maintenance programs.
