The new air compressors improve performance through a state-of-the-art airend, which is the heart of every air compressor. The new air end design was developed through advanced analytics and modeling, and includes, amongst other things, an optimized rotor profile that provides up to an 18 percent efficiency improvement compared to previous models.
The new rotor profile also contributes to best-in-class airflow capacity, delivering up to 15 percent more airflow than previous models. The improved airflow creates a more reliable air supply, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency, even in extreme operating conditions. An enhanced bearing arrangement and sealed drive system further improve performance and reliability while reducing the need for maintenance.
The advanced motor design and high and low ambient temperature options help optimize the Next Generation R-Series for operation in challenging environments, helping to protect valuable investments.
The newly revised, analytics-modeled airflow and piping system further contributes to energy efficiency by ensuring a low pressure drop. This saves energy and lowers utility bills while minimizing sound output to create a safer, more comfortable work environment.
The Next Generation R-Series air compressors are equipped with the Xe-series controller, which allows easy remote access to and control of the compressed air system using any current, common web browser. Users can receive information on compressor performance and events by email, adjust compressor settings remotely, and program compressors according to specific events through real-time clock schedules. This means users can automatically start or stop compressors for shift changes or preventative maintenance.
The new series of compressors also enhance reliability with Progressive Adaptive Control™ (PAC) systems software that continuously monitors key performance parameters and automatically adjusts settings to the application’s needs. The adaptive controls provide built-in performance analysis for a wide range of load requirements, thus reducing downtime risks.
Next Generation R-Series compressors also save customers money on equipment and operations by ensuring that discharge air powering equipment carries a minimal amount of moisture, which reduces the dependence on large downstream air dryers.
