Atlas Copco expands its centrifugal compressor range
Atlas Copco has expanded its range of ZH and ZH+ oil-free centrifugal compressors to offer industrial process plants substantial energy savings and a wider range of flows and pressures.
The expanded range is led by the new ZH+ and ZH 630-1600 kW compressors, which offer high-end turbo technology in a highly efficient package with a small footprint. Joining the recently-launched ZH 355 to 900 kW compressors, the updated line-up replaces the former ZH 4000 to 15000 range.
The more advanced ZH+ compressors are based on an all-inclusive plug-and-play concept, with intelligent control and remote monitoring capabilities. Overall, the new range offers users a total energy efficiency gain of approximately 6%, thereby allowing customers to achieve a smaller electricity bill year-on-year. Additionally, the smaller footprint of the new machines, compared with their predecessors, makes for easier installation and location of the units within a multitude of process environments. With their proven turbo power, the new ZH+ and ZH units are designed to serve a wide spectrum of compressed air applications within the automotive, electronics, glass, metal and gas processing sectors.
In the ZH+ range, advanced control and monitoring capabilities, such as Atlas Copco’s SmartLink performance data acquisition and monitoring program via the SmartBox installation, further ensure that production interruptions are minimized.
