NEW SMALL AIR COMPRESSOR ENHANCES ENERGY
EFFICIENCY

Air compressors with integrated air treatment
packages, called Total Air Systems (TAS), are the
cost-effective choice for a wide variety of
industrial situations where performance is
defined by maximum operating pressure, increased
air flow and extended duty cycles.

However, poor quality compressed air can lead to
many problems. Oil contamination can cause
premature corrosion. Impurities and contaminants,
such as silicone and dust, can build up to cause
restrictions and blockages in compressor lines,
4
which in turn impact on the performance of motors
and other components.CAPS Australia has expanded
its range of TAS air compressors with the
introduction of the new Ingersoll Rand 15 to 37
kW TAS units.

The new model is a fully integrated system
consisting of compressor, air receiver, dryer and
filters. Ingersoll Rands designers really came
up with a winner here, according to Dino
Alessio, leading Rotary Screw Compressor engineer
at CAPS Australia.

Installation cost is minimal, they are truly
space saving and the air quality is
brilliantThe relatively small footprint and
whisper-quiet operation mean that the air
compressor can be positioned close to the point
of use thereby reducing installation costs.
7
Package pre-filters protect the internal
components from contamination which extends the
service life, and the design simplifies
servicing, all of which reduces the compressors
maintenance costs. An additional benefit is that
the lubricant used is biodegradable and
8
can be discharged directly to the sewer,
therefore negating the need to install an
expensive oil/water separator with its ongoing
maintenance costs.

The new range compliments the existing 4 to 11kW
Ingersoll Rand range which CAPS has been
supplying and supporting in Australia for more
than a decade. Each model in the range is
10
capable of producing a discharge pressure of up
to 14 bar. All CAPS air compressors use
high-efficiency MEPS2 motors and comply with all
Australian safety and design regulations.
