Variable Speed Drive compressors

VSD (Variable Speed Drive) TECHNOLOGY:

Atlas Copco pioneered the GA Variable Speed Drive compressors, offering the capability to perfectly match compressor capacity to air demand.

A GA VSD compressor is able to follow the fluctuating demand by varying the speed of its drive motor.

As air demand goes down, the GA VSD lowers the compressors. They reduce the energy consumption to a minimum by avoiding completely unloaded power consumption and save up to 22% on the total life cycle cost.

Atlas Copco designed the GA VSD range according to the “WorkPlace Air SystemTM” concept, offering the possibility to move the compressor out of the conventional compressor room to the point of use.

This concept has been made possible thanks to the extremely low noise levels and the integration of the optional ancillaries such as air and condensate treatment.

The Variable Speed Technology is also available on the Oil-Free Z Series compressors.
