1616724880=1616724890 Air End for Atlas Copco AQ37-55

The AQ37-55 air compressors 1616724880=1616724890 air end leverages Atlas Copco’s pioneering water-injected screw technology. Unlike traditional oil-lubricated compressors, this design uses water to lubricate, seal, and cool the compression process. The direct contact between the water and the rotors facilitates highly efficient heat removal, leading to a near-isothermal compression process. This means the air is compressed at much lower temperatures, which significantly enhances energy efficiency and extends the lifespan of the components.

The air end features polymer ceramic rotors with optimized profiles, supported by water-lubricated, grease-free bearings. This innovative approach completely eliminates the risk of oil contaminating the compressed air, providing certified Class 0 oil-free air. This level of purity is non-negotiable for sensitive applications where even the slightest oil trace could lead to costly product spoilage or equipment damage.

This air end is a robust and reliable component that has consistently delivered exceptional performance, allowing us to maintain the highest hygiene standards and operational efficiency.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Class 0 oil-free air” mean, and why is it important?
“Class 0” is the most stringent air purity certification under ISO 8573-1, meaning absolutely no oil aerosols, vapors, or liquid oil can be detected in the compressed air. This is crucial for industries where oil contamination can ruin products, pose health risks, or cause downtime, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

How does water lubrication compare to oil lubrication in terms of energy efficiency?
Water’s superior cooling capabilities allow for a “near-isothermal” compression process, meaning the air is compressed at a nearly constant, lower temperature. This significantly reduces the energy required for compression compared to oil-lubricated systems, which often run hotter and require more energy to achieve the same output.

Are water-lubricated compressors more prone to corrosion?
Atlas Copco AQ series compressors are specifically designed with corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel for the water separator vessel and polymer ceramic rotors. This minimizes the risk of corrosion and ensures a long operational life for the air end and system components.

What are the main maintenance considerations for the AQ37-55 air compressors Air End?
Maintenance for a water-lubricated air end typically focuses on ensuring a continuous supply of clean water (often through integrated water filters and reverse osmosis systems) and regular checks of other air compressor parts. The absence of oil means no oil filter replacements or oil changes, simplifying maintenance.
