GA160+50Hz Air Compressor

INCREASE YOUR SAVINGS WITH ENERGY RECOVERY
The Kyoto directives and the continuing depletion of traditional energy sources mean that businesses throughout the world are making commitments to significantly reduce overall energy consumption. Through innovative products and solutions, Atlas Copco helps you achieve your goals in this area. When it comes to compressed air production – where energy costs can constitute 70% of total lifecycle costs
– saving energy can also lead to substantial cost savings.

Integrated heat exchanger
Air compression creates heat that is normally wasted in the coolers. Energy recovery systems designed by Atlas Copco enable the recovery of most of this heat. Recovery of energy from the shaft input of the compressor can be up to 94% of the compressor
shaft power. The heat is directly usable as a source of energy in the form of hot water (85-90°C/185- 194°F). The main module of the recovery system is built into the compressor. The investment needed to link the hot oil circuit from the compressor to the existingwater circuit is relatively modest and the time needed before seeing payback from your investment is generally very short.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Warm air heat recovery
The ducting on your GA compressors also constitutes a simple and smart solution to generate space heating. Ducting simply directs the warmed cooling air to where it is needed – such as workshops, storage warehouses or other facilities. To cope with seasonal changes, louver flaps can be used to vent the warm air to the outside. An installation with motorized and thermostatically controlled louvers is the ideal solution to accurately monitor the temperature with a full control of the flow of heating air.

Applications:
• Heating of facilities, warehouses or workshops.
• Drying air for painting and washing applications.
