Background
The A-Series - again one of the many true ECOAIR
innovations in the compressed air market. Our 175
years experience in manufacturing compressors for the
industry have guided development.
As a result, the A-Series is a package with superior
features to provide you with the most cost effective
and reliable source of compressed air for your needs.
Applications
The A21 - A40 package has been designed with the
many requirements of today's demanding production and
manufacturing facilities in mind. As a result, the
A-Series compressors are very compact in design to
take up the least floor space possible. Given our
careful selection of components and materials combined
with our highest manufacturing standards, puts the
A-Series in a class of it's own with an incomparable
level of reliability giving you peace of mind.

How it works:
The compressor is a single stage, coolant
injected/lubricated machine, driven by an electric
motor.
Ambient air is drawn through the intake filter (1) and
the inlet control valve (2) into the screw compressor
block (3). This block consists of a pair of screw
rotors. The male rotor, driven by an electric motor
(8), takes the female rotor with it. The air is drawn
in by the rotation of both of the meshing rotors and
is continuously compressed.
During rotation, coolant is injected and forms a
hydrostatic film between the male and female rotor.
The function of the coolant is to seal the rotors
against air losses, lubricate the bearings and gears
and absorb the compression heat.
After the coolant passes the thermostatic control
block (6), before entering the coolant cooler (7),
where it is cooled from approx. 85°C down to 50°C.
It then passes through the coolant filter (5), and is
injected back into the screw compressor block (3).
ECOOL Coolant
Every ECOAIR compressor is factory filled with the
advanced ECOOL lubricant.
The coolant is designed for 8,000 hours or two years
of service.
- Its incomparable
sealing and lubrication characteristics make it
ideal for use in flooded screw compressors.
- ECOOL is
biodegradable, environmentally friendly, contains
no hydrocarbons and can be discharged into the
foul sewage system without the need for separation
techniques.
Advanced Technology

Compressor features
and benefits
- The A21 - A40 are
single stage rotary screw compressors. The
complete package comes as a base plate mounted
machine ready to start. Simply provide electrical
connection and air pipework. The entire package is
designed for operation in ambient temperature of
up to 46°C. This ensures operation even under
harsh conditions and will extend service interval
time because of an oversized cooling system.
- Advanced ECOAIR
power drive with unique patented gas-strut
tensioning system provides constant force under
all operating conditions. This feature will reduce
slippage known from conventional belt systems
improving package efficiency.
- Complete
single-stage, lubricated air compressor package
with electric motor drive system.
- For easy maintenance
access, the package incorporates an easy to open
panel as part of the enclosure allowing convenient
access to all maintenance parts.
- The low noise canopy
reduces the noise level of the compressor down to
72 dB(A) which allows installation of the machine
almost anywhere in the workshop.
- The entire
compressor is designed for the most demanding operating
conditions such as 46°C ambient temperature. This
ensures a large safety margin in the cooling
system for virtually every installation and all
climatic environments.
- The cooling air flow
through the machine is horizontal and ductwork can
be fitted for potential heat recovery.
- The duplex tapered
roller bearings in the air end provide an ideal
solution to compensate for the extreme thrust
loads experienced in "load" and "no
load" conditions. This bearing arrangement dramatically
increases the life time of the air end.
- The IP55 drive motor
has Class F insulation, Class B temperature rise
and full load and a 46°C ambient capability. This
ensures cool winding temperatures and long motor
life. The motor bearings are sealed for life and
do not require any maintenance or regeasing.
Optional equipment
Factory equipment
- High dust inlet filter, 3µm
- Other voltages motors
