Why Compression Systems?
Oi l - F r ee A i r
P revents oil contamination of
your system
Removes the potential for
compressed air pipeline fires
caused by oil carryover
Eliminates costly waste disposal
problems associated with oil-laden
condensate
Eliminates the expense and
associated maintenance
requirements of oil removal filters,
since no oil enters the compressed
air stream in the compressor
S i mpl e I ns tal l at ion
C  omplete package including
aftercooler, controls, motor, and
lubrication system
Minimum number of
external connections
Compact design requires
minimum floor space
Meets OSHAs sound level require-
ments without sound enclosure
Lowest Compressor Operating Life Cycle Cost
Over time, the energy required to
power a compressed air system is
the largest cost associated with a
compressor, particularly in todays
fluctuating energy markets. That is
why, to determine the best return on
your investment over the life cycle
of a compressor, it is important to
consider the initial investment, energy
consumption and maintenance.
As the chart demonstrates,
the Turbo Air 6000 provides the
lowest total life cycle cost of any
compressor, including dry screw,
variable speed drive (VSD) screw, and
other centrifugal compressors. Keep
in mind, VSD manufacturers often
tout energy savings with unrealistic
turndowns, in excess of 50%. At
this point, you would be better off
purchasing a smaller compressor
and reducing your initial investment.
Also, as screw compressors wear out,
energy consumption increases.

Variable Inlet Guide Vanes Variable inlet
guide vanes can offer power savings of up
to 9%. Inlet vanes impart a whirling motion
to the inlet air flow in the same direction as
the impeller operation, reducing the work
input. Net power savings at reduced flow or
on days colder than the design temperature.
Inlet vanes are positioned close to the
impeller to achieve maximum benefit.
