GA 110+ Atlas Copco Rotary Screw Type Air Compressor
Description Technical Parameter
Highest reliability, lowest operating costs
The shortest route to maximize your profitability is to minimize your operational costs. With up to 80% of a compressor lifecycle cost coming from the energy it consumes, this should be a clear focus. Atlas Copco’s GA compressors with SmartInjection enabled compression elements and IE4 or better class motors are designed to achieve significant energy savings while providing long and troublefree life even in the harshest environmental conditions.
 
Efficiency
At the heart of the GA compressors are state-of-the-art compression elements with SmartInjection technology and high efficiency oil cooled IE4 or better class motors. This highly efficient drive train coupled with generous cooling capacity, low internal pressure drops and precise control from the Elektronikon Touch ensures optimum efficiency.
Reliability
The GA compressor’s drive train is IP66 rated protecting it completely from environmental dust and moisture ensuring it can operate reliably in the toughest conditions and at ambient temperatures up to 55/131.
Serviceability
Service time is reduced to a minimum with all service parts grouped together for ease of access and, if greater assess is required, the patented portal design enables full access to all components. Each component has also been designed for serviceability, halving the time required to service compared to traditional designs.
 
Installations around the world
Thousands of GA compressors are running around the world in a vast range of applications delivering reliable and efficient compressed air.
General industry
Lowest life cycle cost
For industrial companies compressed air is essential in their daily operations that include pneumatic tools for cutting, drilling, hammering and grinding; pneumatic actuators and valves; ventilation systems; packing and palletizing machinery and many more. GA compressors are designed for lowest lifecycle cost.
Mining
Operating in the toughest conditions
Compressed air is vital for the mining industry. Uses include dust bag filtration, service air, ventilation air and powering pneumatic tools. The reliability and robustness of GA compressors will accomplish the job even in the harshest conditions.
Power plants
Reliable and dependable
Power plants run round-the-clock to supply vital energy with a continuous supply of compressed air, critical for trouble-free operation. GA compressors provide a reliable source of compressed air for applications such as soot blowing and fly ash handling.
Metal plants
Ultimate efficiency
Metal plants use compressed air for instrumentation, plant air and pneumatic conveying of raw materials or ash. Metal plants are in need of an efficient solution to reduce their operating costs and to meet environmental targets. Our GA air compressors are designed to meet this demand.
Cement industry
Easy to maintain and service
Cement works are one of the biggest consumers for compressed air with the vast majority of air used for transporting raw materials within the factory. If moisture, dust, or other contaminants are present in the environment it can impair compressor performance, resulting in excess energy consumption and maintenance costs. GA compressor not only have an IP66 rated drive train that prevents contaminants from entering the compressor, they are also easy to maintain and service with a grouped service area and slide out coolers.

VSD: driving down energy costs
Driving down energy costs
Over 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy it consumes. Moreover, the generation of compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. To cut your energy costs, Atlas Copco pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology in the compressed air industry. VSD leads to major energy savings, while protecting the environment for future generations. Thanks to continual investments in this technology, Atlas Copco offers the widest range of integrated VSD compressors on the market.
Energy savings up to 35%
Atlas Copco’s VSD technology closely follows the air demand by automatically adjusting the motor speed. This results in large energy savings of up to 35%. The Life Cycle Cost of a compressor can be cut by an average of 22%. In addition, lowered system pressure with VSD minimizes energy use across your production dramatically.
 
What is unique about the integrated Atlas Copco VSD?
1.The Elektronikon controls both the compressor and the integrated converter, ensuring maximum machine safety within parameters.
2.Flexible pressure selection with VSD reduces electricity costs.
3.Specific converter and motor design (with protected bearings) for the highest efficiency across the speed range.
4.Electric motor specifically designed for low operating speeds with clear attention to motor cooling and compressor cooling requirements.
5.All Atlas Copco VSD compressors are EMC tested and certified. Compressor operation does not influence external sources and vice versa.
6.Mechanical enhancements ensure that all components operate below critical vibration levels throughout the entire compressor speed range.
7.A highly efficient frequency converter in a cubicle ensures stable operation in high ambient temperatures up to 50/122
8.No ‘speed windows’ that can jeopardize the energy savings and the stable net pressure. Turndown capability of the compressor is maximized to 70-75%.
9.Net pressure band is maintained within 0.10 bar, 1.5 psi.

Dual set-point and automatic stop
Most production processes create fluctuating levels of demand which, in turn, can create energy waste in low use periods. Using the Elektronikon unit controller, you can manually or automatically switch between two different setpoints to optimize energy use and reduce costs at low use times. In addition, the sophisticated algorithm runs the drive motor only when needed. As the desired setpoint is maintained while the drive motor’s run time is minimized, energy consumption is kept to a minimum.

Optimize your compressed air system
Minimizing Excess Pressure
Optimizer 4.0 minimizes the generation of excess compressed air by starting and stopping compressors. Its user friendly interface enables you to set multiple pressure bands, allowing you to optimize your compressor installation for varying circumstances, such as non-productive hours.
Full VSD Benefits
With Optimizer 4.0 you can realize the full energy saving potential of VSD (Variable Speed Drive). It regulates the VSD to ensure that the compressed air output is proportional to the demand, preventing higher pressures than required, excess unloaded running, and spiraling energy costs.
Improving Uptime
Optimizer 4.0 effectively eliminates production downtime caused by unexpected system pressure drops, because it regulates the system pressure instead of the compressor output pressure.
This means optimizer 4.0 will automatically adjust the system pressure to compensate for pressure drops due to filters, piping and dryers for example.
We also provide additional functionality and services on Optimizer 4.0 to ensure that your energy savings will stand the test of time. Even when your installation needs adaptations or your demand changes.
