Atlas Copco launches SF 17-22 scroll compressor

The new element modules can be combined in two different ways: the SF multi-core and the SF multi-duplex.
    The SF multi-core enables users to only pay for the air that they use by combining several 5.5 kW elements in one canopy. One or more modules can be stopped when there is fluctuation in air demand, thus saving energy.
    If there is an increase in plant demand in future, the SF 17 can be upgraded to a SF 22 kW with a simple kit. According to Atlas Copco’s publicity, “this makes the SF 17-22 a very cost efficient source of oil-free air at a low initial investment for current and possible future requirements.”
    Atlas Copco says its 100% oil-free scroll compressor technology protects both the production process and the end product quality while fulfilling the most stringent requirements for pure and clean oil-free air.
    “By optimizing cooling flow design, pressure drop and lower inlet air temperature, Atlas Copco has increased reliability and performance level,” the company said in its publicity. “This results in a free air delivery (FAD) up to 51% higher and specific energy requirements (SER) down 6% for the new SF 17-22 range when comparing to the previous multi-scroll range.
    “The integrated Energy Saver System (ESi) monitors and controls the running hours of each element module, allowing for equal wear so service visits can be combined, optimizing your production process and minimizing downtime. Convenient access to each element module renders for minimum maintenance time.
    “The SF 17-22 can easily be placed at the point of use due to the silenced enclosure 65 dB(A), with integrated dryer full feature concept reducing installation costs.”
