Groundbreaking rotary lobe compressor
4th Quarter 2014
Pneumatic systems & components
Worldclass hybrid air conveying technology which dramatically reduces energy consumption without compromising on quality or efficiency is available from industrial blower and compressor specialist, Airgas Compressors. “The innovative, German engineered Aerzen Delta Hybrid rotary lobe compressor combines a positive displacement blower and screw compressor,” says Airgas marketing co-ordinator, Andreas Stubel. This unique combination ensures that the Delta Hybrid serves as a highly energy-efficient and reliable air conveying solution for applications in need of negative and positive pressure from -700 up to 1500 mBar, with intake volume flows ranging from 110 to 9000 m³/h.
Energy consumption constitutes 90% of the total lifecycle costs of compressed air conveying machinery. The Delta Hybrid was developed to increase energy efficiency and achieve a significant reduction in energy and lifecycle costs. “Combining the features of both rotary lobe blower and screw compressor technologies will reduce the energy consumption under ideal conditions by up to 15% when compared to standard screw compressors and positive displacement blowers,” adds Stubel.
For even greater energy efficiency, the Delta Hybrid is also available with a variable speed drive, which ensures greater control of the intake volume and torque values of the machine during operation. The Delta Hybrid also features a number of additional groundbreaking developments, including optimised design of the inlet and discharge ports for ideal flow conditions and a patented bearing system that expands the bearing life to over 60 000 operating hours at a differential pressure of 1000 mBar.
