Champion Compressors EcoPak compressors range

Champion Compressors has launched the EcoPak range of compressors. Combining variable speed drives (VSD) with variable output control (VOC), Champion has developed a compressor family that delivers energy-efficient compressed air at the top end of its capacity, and also offers a wide turn-down. The EcoPak is therefore designed for the efficient production of compressed air for applications where there are widely varying compressed air demands.

By automatically varying both the motor speed and the airend length, the EcoPak ensures that the compressor’s efficient operating range - often referred to as the ‘sweet spot’ - covers a broad operating load range.

The EcoPak family of compressors is available in nine models, ranging from 50 to 250 kW. The range uses Champion Compressors’ V-drive design, which utilises ‘Optimal Flux’ technology from motor manufacturer, WEG. This allows the drive to adjust its calibration to precisely suit the compressor motor, and enables the compressor to run continuously in 50°C conditions at 100% speed, or at minimum speed with no loss of torque. Optimal Flux reduces motor temperatures by as much as 11%, which eliminates the need for forced ventilation, minimises motor losses, and improves both the efficiency and longevity of the motor.
