General description

2.1

Introduction

GA 5 VSD MED up to GA 15 VSD MED are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors driven by an electric
motor. The compressors are air-cooled.

The motor is powered by a frequency converter, allowing to adapt the speed to the air demand for optimal
power consumption.

The compressors are controlled by an Elektronikon

Graphic controller.
