There The new range of compressors provides a minimum 15 % increase in air volume flow with greater energy efficiency than the previous models and also uses CompAir’s new gear drive, which increases reliability and efficiency even further.  

Airchannel customers can gain maximum energy efficiency improvements with the L132 SR variable speed machine, which can reduce running costs by 25% on average. This compressor uses an innovative Switched Reluctance (SR) drive that varies the speed of the compressor according to air demand and could give a minimum saving of at least €15,000 running at 4000 hours a year, based on average energy costs.  
The combination of innovative component design, a 20% reduction in parts and excellent  accessibility to all areas of the machines makes the new range of compressors easier to  service and more cost-effective to operate.  

The Alpha Air End EK230 has an integrated oil filter and thermostatic valve, limiting the number of tubes and hoses that would otherwise require routine replacement. Higher reliability is also achieved with fewer points of leakage and the unit design means that there is greater space for  cooling air to circulate, to prolong its life.  
All major components are arranged to enable maintenance engineers easy access for routine  servicing, helping to reduce equipment downtime. Specific attention has been paid to the oil  separator, which includes a hinged cover and also an easy-view oil-level indicator.   
At just 3.2 m2, the new compressors have an exceptionally small footprint, meaning they can  take up to one third less floorspace than comparable models, making them ideal for  installations where space is at a premium. The low speed air-end, radial fan and a noise  damper at the cooling air inlet also ensure that the machines run quietly, with low noise levels  starting from 73 dB (A) on the L90 model.
