GA 160+-315 (VSD)
Oil-Injected screw compressors GA (VSD⁺)
Features
The GA 160+-315 (VSD) series by Atlas Copco is a range of heavy-duty, oil-injected rotary screw compressors engineered for demanding industrial environments, including mining, metals, and manufacturing. These systems offer maximum output and energy efficiency while drastically reducing operating costs and carbon footprint.
Core Features
- Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Technology: Automatically adjusts the motor speed to match air demand, which drastically cuts energy consumption by eliminating the power waste associated with unloaded operation.
- Highly Efficient Drive Train: Features superior screw elements integrated with high-efficiency motors to ensure optimal air delivery and long-term mechanical durability.
- Advanced Elektronikon Controller: This sophisticated, touch-screen system monitors and controls all inputs/outputs to maximize compressor uptime. It supports up to 31 languages and enables smart features like dual-pressure band settings and Delayed Second Stop (DSS) to minimize idle time.
- All-in-One Package: Designed for seamless installation, it houses all necessary components within a compact footprint, requiring no extra devices. Easy ducting options provide enhanced placement flexibility.
- Full Feature (FF) Integration: Available with an integrated refrigerant dryer and electronic water drain. This system guarantees a low pressure dew point and removes 100% of the condensate, protecting your downstream air network.
- Robust Cooling Capacity: Generous cooling features and low pressure drops ensure the compressor operates smoothly over a long lifetime, even in harsh, high-temperature conditions.
- Low Maintenance: Engineered for easy servicing, all service parts are grouped for quick access. Long service intervals and durable IP66-rated drive components maximize production availability.
Benefits
The Atlas Copco GA 160+-315 (VSD) air compressors are engineered to maximize productivity and lower operational expenses. By automatically adjusting motor speed to match air demand, these machines deliver massive energy savings, prevent mechanical stress from frequent cycling, and reduce the overall lifecycle cost of your compressed air system.
Core Benefits
- Major Energy Efficiency: The Variable Speed Drive technology closely tracks your facility’s air demand, yielding average energy savings up to 35% compared to fixed-speed compressors.
- Reduced Lifecycle Costs: Minimizing energy consumption cuts overall lifecycle operating expenses, often allowing the system to pay for its additional investment in as little as one to two years.
- Stable Net Pressure: The system maintains a very narrow, consistent pressure band, eliminating current peaks associated with direct-on-line (DOL) starts and minimizing energy waste throughout your production.
- Enhanced Reliability & Uptime: By eliminating speed windows and keeping operation below critical vibration levels, mechanical stress is drastically reduced. The system is designed to keep production running smoothly 24/7.
- Integrated Dryer & Water Separator: Full Feature (FF) variants include integrated equipment that protects your downstream air network by supplying dry, high-quality air with minimal pressure drops.
- Easy Installation & Service: Delivered as an “all-in-one” ready-to-use package, the compressor minimizes installation costs. Service operations are safe and simple, with long-lasting consumables and high accessibility to components.
