Ingersoll Rand R-Series 55-75 kW compressor range

Ingersoll Rand has expanded its contact-cooled rotary screw air compressor line with the R-Series 55-75 kW range. The range is available with either fixed-speed or Nirvana variable-speed drives at capacities up to 3.23-13.56 m³/min.

The R-Series machines are equipped with the Xe-Series controller, which features a high-resolution colour LCD. The monitor provides immediate access to all vital compressor data and settings. The controller also permits remote control of the compressor from any PC, tablet or smartphone via the internet and can send automatic email notifications of trips and warnings to designated personnel.

The integrated Total Air System (TAS) dryer and filtration option provides clean, dry air in a single package, reducing installation costs while allowing single-point maintenance and monitoring for the whole system. The Total Air System option comes with refrigerated dryer technology and a high efficiency coalescing filter to deliver ISO Class 1-4-2 quality air. The TAS option also uses a 3-in-1 heat exchanger, which improves energy efficiency and lowers operating cost when compared to traditional stand-alone dryers.

Progressive Adaptive Control (PAC) protection is an integrated, intelligent system that monitors filtration, ambient temperature and other parameters and adapts the operation of the compressor in order to reduce energy consumption, lower noise and increase uptime. V-Shield technology is a  configuration using stainless steel pipes, durable metal-flex hoses and a vibration isolation system to eliminate possible leaks. Sequential cooling uses a centrifugal blower, which uses much quieter cooling fans to consume less energy.
