Compressors come in different types and sizes. In this guide we outline what compressors do, why you need them and what types of options are available to you.
Atlas Copco belongs among one of the most expert scroll air compressor manufacturers. The SF and SF+ oil-free scroll compressors deliver absolutely pure oil-free air with supreme energy efficiency.
The SF and SF+ plus scroll compressors join our lineup of oil-free air technologies such as screw compressors, tooth and centrifugal, giving you, the customer, the perfect option for your needs and operations. This reliable scroll compressor is hosted in a small package, resulting in a small footprint.
The SF series answers your demands through innovative technologies and supreme energy efficiency without compromising quality. The SF and SF+ series comes fully loaded with the state of the art features such as high-end controller Elektronikon®.
SF+ 8-22 multi-scroll units bring in the benefits of a modular system utilizing two to four compressor modules integrated into one canopy. The Elektronikon® continuously monitors the status of each element and starts and stops the compression elements, ensuring that the compressed air output matches the air demand.
Air compression is achieved by the interaction of a fixed and orbiting scroll. Air at inlet pressure enters the compression chamber at the exterior side of the scroll element. Once the air is drawn in, the orbiting scroll seals off the inlet port. As the scroll continues its orbit motion, the air is progressively compressed into an increasingly smaller ‘pocket’. A continuous compressed airflow leaves the scroll element through a discharge port in the center of the fixed scroll. This process is continuously repeated, resulting in the delivery of pulse-free compressed air.
There is no metal-to-metal contact between the compression scroll elements. As a result, the moving parts do not touch during the actual compression. Unlike oil-lubricated compressors, there is no need for oil lubrication.
