Starting Air Compressors: Lubricated Reciprocating compressors

The aluminium design makes sure the compressors are very lightweight, well balanced and provide excellent heat transfer to the ambient. Since the warm-up time is only 6 minutes (compared to 20 minutes for steel or steel casted blocks), therefore the compressors experience no issues with condensation in the oil. In addition, Atlas Copco can also guarantee that the temperature of the compressed air will stay well below the maximum temperature as required by classification societies.

The oversized marine motor is equipped with pre-loaded bearings and coupled directly via a flex coupling to the compressor. It can be delivered with starter boxes including all available options and with DOL or Y-D starting method, as well as in electric and diesel driven version, with custom made skids, special colors… whatever is required.

Tested for 22.5 rolling direction and proven durability at fishing and platform supply vessels at the North Sea in a very harsh environment.
