Oil-Free Air
Why Compression Systems?
O i l -F r e e A i r
• P revents oil contamination of
your system
• Removes the potential for com-
pressed air pipeline fires caused
by oil carryover
• Eliminates costly waste disposal
problems associated with oil-laden
condensate
• Eliminates the expense and associ-
ated maintenance requirements
of oil removal filters, since no oil
enters the compressed air stream
in the compressor
Si mpl e I ns ta l l at i o n
•C  omplete package including
aftercooler, controls, motor, and
lubrication system
• Minimum number of external
connections
• Compact design requires minimum
floor space
• Package starter options available
in full voltage, WYE-Delta or solid
state configurations
Lowest Compressor Operating Cycle Cost
Over time, the energy required to
power a compressed air system is
the largest cost associated with a
compressor, particularly in today’s
fluctuating energy markets.
That is why, to determine the best
return on your investment over the life
cycle of a compressor, it is important
to consider the initial investment,
energy and maintenance.
As the chart demonstrates,
the Turbo Air® 2000 provides the
lowest total life cycle cost of any
compressor, including dry screw,
variable speed drive (VSD) screw, and
other centrifugal compressors. Keep
in mind, VSD manufacturers often
tout energy savings with unrealistic
turndowns, in excess of 50%. At
this point, you would be better off
purchasing a smaller compressor
and reducing your initial investment.
Also, as screw compressors wear out,
energy consumption increases.
