2 General description
2.1 Introduction
General
General view
These units are single stage, oil-injected screw compressors, driven by an electric motor and enclosed in
sound-insulated bodywork.
The compressors can be either air-cooled or water-cooled.
The following features are available as an option:
Electronic drain
The electronic water drain assures proper draining of condensate and prevents water from entering the
compressed air net. For any malfunction of the draining process, the electronic water drain generates a warning
message on the display of the regulator.
Energy recovery
The compressor is provided with an energy recovery system to recover the major part of the compression heat
in the form of hot water without any influence on the compressor performance.
Modulating control
The modulating control system is designed to maintain a narrow net pressure band by throttling the air inlet,
thus reducing the air flow (50% - 100%).
