Atlas Copco Launches ZR 90-160 VSD + Air Compressor With Up To 35% Less Energy Consumption

The latest oil-free rotating screw air compressor from Atlas Copco, the ZR 90-160 VSD +, provides up to 35% energy cost savings for a fast return on investment. Perfect for applications in the food & beverage, electronics, auto, textile and pharmaceutical industries, the water-cooled ZR 90-160 VSD + is equipped with 2 high-. effectiveness long-term magnet electric motors, state-of- the-art compressor components, a new cooler design and an improved monitoring system. This plug-and- play compressor is housed in a compact, soundproof unit. It's the most up to date air compressor in Atlas Copco's smart AIR solutions portfolio.

The drive design of the ZR 90-160 VSD + incorporates Atlas Copco's most sophisticated Variable Speed Drive (VSD) innovation: NEOS drives combined with long-term magnet electric motors. The double motor concept with a smart control algorithm permits both components to be performed at various speeds, which optimizes efficiency.

" By adjusting output to match actual requirements, the ZR 90-160 VSD + significantly cuts power usage, expenses and ecological impact," says Jeroen Hoen, Item Manager Oil-free compressors. "The interior IP66 water-cooled long-term magnet electric motors, made for class-leading effectiveness and high dependability, consist of oil-lubricated bearings for a lengthy maintenance-free lifetime.

Additionally, all service parts are organized with each other for ease of accessibility for a marginal service time." All elements in the compressor component, such as the blades profiles, smart inlet (patent pending) and blades finish, have actually been revamped for maximum performance and toughness. The design and sealing of the venting chamber ensure physical splitting up between the oil and air circuits, getting rid of any opportunity of oil going into the pressed air chamber and therefore guaranteeing Course 0 oil-free air.

The redesigned cooler includes a highly reliable water separator. Parallel water flow optimizes air conditioning of the motor, element and the cooler itself. Bigger stainless-steel surface area coolers enhance cooling efficiency and ensure leading performance over a long life time.

The NEOS drive communicates straight with the new, user-friendly Elektronikon Mk5 Touch Controller to optimize system stress and take full advantage of energy effectiveness. Mk5 Touch consists of warning signs, maintenance organizing and online visualization of the machine's condition. The information monitoring program SMARTLINK is incorporated as standard. This remote monitoring system supplies evaluation of the whole compressed air system on just how you could minimize energy expense and plan your precautionary maintenance.

The ZR 90-160 VSD + collaborates with the Atlas Copco's new Optimizer 4.0 central controller. It enables a compressed air system to be maximized through option of the most effective combination of air compressors while ensuring supply of needed stress and having stabilized running hours. Air clothes dryers can additionally be kept track of with Optimizer 4.0. With the very intuitive user interface, the end-user could see the efficiency and energy consumption of each equipment in addition to of the entire system. Optimizer 4.0 can additionally be monitored through a client's PC.

The ZR 90-160 VSD + can be included in an Overall Responsibility Plan, in which Atlas Copco looks after all compressor upkeep, upgrades, repair work and possible failures.
