VSD: DRIVING DOWN YOUR ENERGY COSTS
Over 70% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes. Moreover, the generation of compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. To cut your energy costs, Atlas Copco has pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology for several decades. VSD leads to major energy savings, reducing the consumption of energy producing fuels and protecting the environment for future generations. Thanks to continual investments in this technology, Atlas Copco offers the widest range of integrated VSD compressors on the market.
What is VSD technology?
In almost every production environment, air demand fluctuates depending on different factors (time of the day, week or even month). Extensive measurements and studies of compressed air demand profiles show that many compressors have substantial variations in air demand. Only 8% of all installations have a more stable air demand. Tests prove that, even in this case, VSD compressors save energy.
Energy savings on average up to 35%
Atlas Copco’s VSD technology closely follows the air demand by automatically adjusting the motor speed. This results in large energy savings of up to 35%. The Life Cycle Cost of a compressor can be cut by an average of 22%. In addition, lowered system pressure with VSD minimizes energy use across your production dramatically.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE INTEGRATED ATLAS COPCO GA VSD?
1.The Elektronikon unit controller manages both the compressor and the integrated converter, ensuring maximum machine safety within parameters.
2.Flexible pressure selection from 4 to 13 bar with electronic gearing reduces electricity costs.
3.Specific converter and motor design (with protected bearings) for the highest efficiency across the speed range.
4.Electric motor specifically designed for low operating speeds with clear attention to motor cooling and compressor cooling requirements.
5.All Atlas Copco GA VSD compressors are EMC tested and certified. Compressor operation does not influence external sources and vice versa.
6.Mechanical enhancements ensure that all components operate below critical vibration levels throughout the entire compressor speed range.
7.A highly efficient frequency converter in a cool overpressure cubicle ensures stable operation in high ambient temperatures up to 50℃/122℉(standard up to 46℃/114.8℉).
8.It is important to ensure that when using a Variable Speed Drive vibration and noise issues do not occur. Atlas Copco compressors are designed and tested to guarantee they operate across the entire frequency range of operation. When an external VSD drive is used it may become necessary to limit the operating range of the compressor, leading to reduced energy saving and jeopardizing stable air network pressure.
9.The cubicle cooling booster increases the lifetime of electrical components due to a cool cubicle in overpressure and reduced dust ingress.
10.Net pressure band is maintained within 0.10 bar, 1.5 psi.
INCREASE YOUR SAVINGS WITH ENERGY RECOVERY
The Kyoto directives and the continuing depletion of traditional energy sources mean that businesses throughout the world are making commitments to significantly reduce overall energy consumption. Through innovative products and solutions, Atlas Copco helps you achieve your goals in this area. When it comes to compressed air production – where energy costs can constitute 70% of total lifecycle costs saving energy can also lead to substantial cost savings.
Integrated heat exchanger
Air compression creates heat that is normally wasted in the coolers. Energy recovery systems designed by Atlas Copco enable the recovery of most of this heat. Recovery of energy from the shaft input of the compressor can be up to 94% of the compressor shaft power. The heat is directly usable as a source of energy in the form of hot water (85-90℃/185-194℉). The main module of the recovery system is built into the compressor. The investment needed to link the hot oil circuit from the compressor to the existing water circuit is relatively modest and the time needed before seeing payback from your investment is generally very short.
Warm air heat recovery
The ducting on your GA compressors also constitutes a simple and smart solution to generate space heating. Ducting simply directs the warmed cooling air to where it is needed-such as workshops, storage warehouses or other facilities. To cope with seasonal changes, louver flaps can be used to vent the warm air to the outside. An installation with motorized and thermostatically controlled louvers is the ideal solution to accurately monitor the temperature with a full control of the flow of heating air.
Applications:
Heating of facilities, warehouses or workshops.
Drying air for painting and washing applications.
PROTECT YOUR PRODUCTION WITH THE GA FF
Untreated compressed air contains moisture, aerosols and dirt particles that can damage your air system and contaminate your end product, resulting in risk of corrosion and compressed air system leaks. Maintenance costs can far exceed air treatment costs. Our compressors provide the clean, dry air that improves your system’s reliability, avoids costly downtime and production delays, and safeguards the quality of your products.
All-in-one quality air production
The GA FF(Full Feature) is a ready-to-use, compact package that guarantees a pressure dewpoint of 3℃/37℉(100% relative humidity at 20℃/88℉). All the wires and pipes are assembled in the factory, so there is no need for additional installation work. The dryers can perform at ambient conditions up to 46℃/115℉.
Save money and the environment
The unique and patented Saver Cycle Control stops the dryer when the compressor is stopped or in unload mode, drastically reducing power consumption. The dewpoint is continuously monitored and the dryer is re-started when the dewpoint begins to increase.
Optimized air purity
The optional external filters and integrated refrigerant air dryer efficiently remove moisture, aerosols and dirt particles to protect your investment. This air quality prolongs the life of downstream equipment, increasing efficiency, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring quality of your final product.
MONITORING AND CONTROL: HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM THE LEAST
The Elektronikon unit controller is specially designed to maximize the performance of your compressors and air treatment equipment under a variety of conditions. Our solutions provide you with key benefits such as increased energy efficiency, lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance times and less stress… less stress for both you and your entire air system.
Intelligence is part of the package
High resolution color display gives you an easy-to-understand readout of the equipment’s running conditions.
Clear icons and intuitive navigation provide you fast access to all of the important settings and data.
Monitoring of the equipment running conditions and maintenance status; bringing this information to your attention when needed.
Operation of the equipment to deliver specifically and reliably to your compressed air needs.
Built in remote control and notifications functions provided as standard, including simple to use Ethernet based communication.
Support for 31 different languages, including character-based languages.
Online & mobile monitoring
Monitor your compressors over the Ethernet with the Elektronikon unit controller. Monitoring features include warning indications, compressor shut-down and maintenance scheduling. An Atlas Copco App is available for iPhone/Android phones as well as iPad and Android tablets. It allows fingertip monitoring of your compressed air system through your own secured network.
Full optimization-ES system controller
Improve product quality every minute that your facility is in operation. Atlas Copco’s ES system controllers offer a convenient way to achieve optimized performance from your low-pressure equipment through a single centralized point of monitoring and control. With the ES system controller watching over your compressors and compressed air network, you will have a highly dependable and energy efficient solution working with your facility to manage operating costs.
Dual pressure set-point and Delayed Second Stop
Most production processes create fluctuating levels of demand which, in turn, can create energy waste in low use periods. Using the graphic Elektronikon unit controller, you can manually or automatically create two different system pressure bands to optimize energy use and reduce costs at low use times. In addition, the sophisticated Delayed Second Stop (DSS) runs the drive motor only when needed. As the desired system pressure is maintained while the drive motor’s run time is minimized, energy consumption is kept to a minimum.
SMARTLINK: Data Monitoring Program
