TURBO-AIR® API Centrifugal Air Compressors

Ingersoll Rand has a proud history of delivering innovative products and technologies that drive measurable value for our customers. Building on this legacy, the API 672 custom MSG® and TURBO-AIR® API range was developed through close collaboration with our customers and a thorough understanding of the unique requirements of each application.

Simple Installation

Compressor, lubrication system, intercoolers, shaft coupling, coupling guard and the interconnecting piping all are on a common base, simplifying installation and startup.

Low Operating Cycle Cost

Compared to other machines of similar capacity, MSG® and TURBO-AIR® compressors are highly efficient oil-free compressors at full load, part load and no load. The power savings delivered can significantly speed up payback on your initial investment, and the savings continue to build the more you use an MSG®/TURBO-AIR® centrifugal compressor.

High Reliability

  • Thrust loads absorbed at low speed

  • Stainless steel compression elements

  • Conservative, high-quality gear design

  • Extended life pinion bearing design

  • Non-contacting air and oil seals

Simple Operation and Maintenance

  • State-of-the-art controls

  • Total automatic operation for any operating condition

  • Self-diagnostics

  • Compression elements do not wear or require periodic replacement

  • No oil removal filters to clean

ISO Certified Class Zero

Our MSG® and TURBO-AIR® centrifugal compressor product line has been engineered to produce oil-free air for more than 60 years. This certification officially acknowledges the ability of our compressors to produce 100% oil-free air, providing our customers with enhanced quality assurance.

We have a long-standing tradition of providing innovative products and technology that positively affect our customers’ bottom line. Following this tradition, the API 672 Custom MSG® TURBO-AIR® product lines have been developed through close interaction with our customer base and analysis of their individual application demands.

MSG® and TURBO-AIR® product lines provide class-leading levels of performance and reliability while meeting the following specifications:

  • API 672 for packaged, integrally geared centrifugal compressors for petroleum, chemical and gas industry services

  • API 614 for lubrication systems

  • API 670 for machinery protection systems

  • API 671 for coupling systems

You can rest assured knowing that our API product line, like all of our products, is supported by our global aftermarket service and support network.
