ZR/ZT 110-160 (VSD) FF
Oil-free rotary screw compressors ZR & ZT
Features
The Atlas Copco ZR/ZT 110-160 (VSD) FF series consists of high-end, 100% oil-free rotary screw air compressors certified under ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0. This specific configuration combines Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology with a Full Feature (FF) integrated design to deliver maximum energy efficiency, extreme reliability, and a minimized installation footprint.
Core Technology & Variations
- 100% Oil-Free Delivery: Zero risk of product contamination, critical for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and sensitive electronics industries.
- Water-Cooled (ZR Variant): Uses a dedicated cooling water circuit for heat exchangers and elements, making it ideal for environments where heat cannot easily be vented.
- Air-Cooled (ZT Variant): Employs heavy-duty internal fans and air coolers, removing the need for an external water supply and simplifying open-space placement.
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Features
- Demand-Driven Regulation: Matches the motor speed strictly to your real-time air demand, completely eliminating costly unloaded power cycles.
- Up to 35% Energy Savings: VSD drastically lowers system operational pressure and reduces life cycle costs by an average of 22%.
- High-Efficiency TEFC Motor: Fully enclosed IP55 permanent-magnet or induction motors ensure protection against dust, moisture, and extreme ambient conditions.
- Flexible Turn-down Capacity: Offers seamless, step-less regulation operating anywhere between 30% to 100% of maximum flow capacity.
Full Feature (FF) Design Elements
- Integrated Adsorption Dryer: Features a space-saving IMD adsorption dryer built directly inside the canopy.
- Zero Lost Compressed Air: Uses hot compression heat to regenerate the dryer drum, meaning no external energy is consumed to dry the air.
- Minimal Pressure Drop: The all-in-one piping design drastically lowers pressure drops compared to freestanding external filtration lines.
Mechanical & Air Flow Components
- Advanced Intake Filtration: Uses a high-efficiency 2-stage dust removal system that catches 99.9% of particles down to 3 microns, preserving compressor internals.
- Robust Soundproof Canopy: Silenced outer casing with a base frame featuring forklift slots for rapid, hassle-free installation.
- High-Efficiency Heat Exchangers: Heavy-duty intercoolers and aftercoolers drop air temperatures while pulling out moisture via integrated water separators.
Intelligence & Diagnostics
- Elektronikon Control System: Advanced onboard microprocessor providing real-time data tracking, automated safety shutdowns, and service indicators.
- Optional Energy Recovery: Allows up to 90% of electrical input energy (absorbed as heat) to be reclaimed to warm boiler feed water or facilities.
Benefits
