CompAir Delcos XL touch screen compressor controller

The Delcos XL built-in, easy-to-use touch screen controller is designed to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of its rotary screw compressors.

Fitted to CompAir’s L30 - L132 range of fixed and regulated speed compressors, the device displays detailed system analysis, including network pressure and weekly average volume flow, in the form of on-screen trend diagrams and graphs, without the need for additional monitoring devices. Analysis of these trends enables users to set precise operating parameters for their compressor.

The controller’s real-time clock enables users to start and stop their compressor at preset times. This allows the system to be pressurised prior to production, meaning users can have instant availability of compressed air.

The second pressure setting matches compressor flow to plant demand, reducing compressor idling, and also enabling two DELCOS XL units to be sequenced without the need for additional equipment.

The controller’s service diagnostics feature enables compressor inputs and outputs to be tested, and provides quick identification of any faults, which can result in reduced downtime. A detailed analysis of up to 64 faults can be stored by the controller, providing information including the time, date, temperature and pressure of the compressor when each fault occurred.

As well as on-site monitoring, the controller can also communicate with external interfaces, such as a PC, allowing for the remote control of the compressor, and in the event of a power failure, it can be set to automatically restart the compressor.
