VSD: Smart Control for Dramatic Energy Savings

Energy consumption is the dominant cost driver in an air compressor’s lifecycle, often representing over 80% of the total expenditure and potentially exceeding 40% of a plant’s entire electricity bill. Recognizing this, Atlas Copco pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology within the compressed air industry. VSD offers a powerful solution to significantly reduce energy costs while contributing to a more sustainable future. Thanks to continuous innovation, Atlas Copco provides an extensive range of integrated VSD compressors.

Unlock Up to 35% Energy Savings

Atlas Copco’s intelligent VSD technology precisely matches air output to demand by automatically adjusting the motor speed. This responsive control delivers substantial energy savings, potentially reaching up to 35%, and can lower a compressor’s total lifecycle cost by an average of 22%. Furthermore, VSD enables operation at a lower system pressure, which significantly reduces energy usage across your entire production.

The Advantage of Integrated Atlas Copco VSD:

1. Uncompromising Safety and Control: The Elektronikon® system seamlessly manages both the compressor and the integrated frequency converter, ensuring peak machine safety within defined operational parameters.
2. Optimized Energy Use: VSD allows for flexible pressure selection, directly contributing to lower electricity bills.
3. Efficiency Across the Spectrum: A dedicated converter and motor design, featuring protected bearings, ensures maximum efficiency throughout the entire speed range.
