LX SERIES COMPRESSORS
Low cost of ownership throughout life cycle
Compressed air is often referred to as the ‘fourth utility’ and is critical to most manufacturing operations. Facility performance depends upon compressor
reliability and efficiency.
Power consumption is a significant cost throughout the life cycle of a compressor. Therefore, it is important to consider the life cycle cost of a compressed air system when evaluating productivity improvements. LX series advanced energy saving features reduce operation costs significantly
Continued development has increased effi ciency by more than 20% over earlier models
• Direct drive (1:1 ratio) motor and airend operate at slow speed
• Slow-speed male rotor maximizes performance and increases efficiency
• Steady system pressure lowers system stress and overall air demand
• Decreased energy consumption delivers environmentally friendly savings
• Duplex SKF bearings for durability and reliability
• Low part load energy consumption
• 5 / 6 rotor profile assures optimal performance while reducing energy consumption
• Very tight tolerances provide maximum effi ciency
• Direct fl ow inlet valve provides reliable capacity control
DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL
Monitors & Controls Key Compressor Functions
• Protects compressor in the event of a fault
• Provides service required alerts
• Sequencing of up to 16 compressors
• External monitoring via RS 485 interface
• Star Delta starter standard to reduce electrical in-rush current
AXIAL COOLING FANS
Increased Cooling Effi ciency
• Higher static pressure allows for heat
recovery ducting
• Even air fl ow across the cooler face
HIGH-EFFICIENCY AIR INTAKE FILTERS
Increased Filtration Efficiency
• Full airfl ow, low restriction
• Deep bed media ensures excellent dust capture
• Increased free air delivery for further energy savings
SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Reduced OSHA Risk and Injury
• The entire Kaishan range of compressors includes full safety features such as guarded rotating components and shrouded electrical components
3-STAGE TANGENTIAL OIL SEPARATION
Lower Pressure Drop / Lower Absorbed Power
• Optimized mechanical pre- separation / reduced direct oil impingement onto separator element
• Lower particle contact resulting in lower pressure drop / longer element life / lower energy consumption
• Residual oil carryover limited to 3 ppm
SINGLE PASS OIL & AFTER COOLERS
Long Life / Easily Accessible
• Minimize thermal stress
• Coolers oversized to accommodate 40°C ambient temperatures
• Low oil carryover increases bearing life
• Low cooling air velocity reduces dust build up
MODULATING INLET VALVE
Minimum Pressure Drop / Increased Output
• Lower pressure drop through the intake, increasing output and saving energy
PREMIUM DISCHARGE BEARINGS
Longer Bearing Life / Quieter Operation
• The “SKK” series direct drive air ends use two discharge bearings to absorb radial and axial loads
• Longer bearing life under all operating conditions
• Increased load carrying capacity
INDUSTRIAL GRADE ELECTRICALS
Increased Reliability / Lower Servicing Cost
• Outstanding reliability
• Excellent component life
• Industry recognized brands, with local support
HIGH EFFICIENCY ELECTRIC MOTORS
Long Operating Life / Lower Power Use
