Atlas Copco ES Controllers for multiple compressor installations

Click2Contact

Atlas Copco’s ES Controllers increase the efficiency of multiple machine installations, offering a range of control and monitoring functions for a variety of input/output.

The controllers can help reduce the pressure band of the compressed air or vacuum installation, equalise the running hours and minimise the unloaded running of the machines. The systems produce an energy-efficient compressed air or vacuum system that can reduce energy costs.

With a multiple compressor installation, the system will select the machine(s) to run based on demand and when air is needed in the airnet, which ensures efficient use of energy. In an installation with multiple VSD air compressors, one VSD compressor will regulate the demand and the other VSD compressors will run at optimal speed to ensure the best possible energy efficiency.

The core function of the system is to equalise the running hours of a multiple air compressor or vacuum pump installation, which will enable effective and equal use of all machines within the installation. This will ensure the most effective use of the installation as well as enable all machines to be serviced during a single visit, providing potential savings on maintenance interventions.

The controllers will eliminate the need for operators to manually change settings on a continuous basis. The higher-end controllers can be programmed to change the installation sequences automatically. The controllers can control Atlas Copco compressors alongside other compressors in the installation.
