Oil-free rotary screw compressors
ZR/ZT 55-90 (VSD) (FF)
Setting the standard in energy efficiency, safety and reliability
The shortest route to superior productivity is to minimize
operational cost while maintaining an uninterrupted supply of the
right quality of air. The Atlas Copco Z compressor series is
focused on effectively saving energy, ensuring product safety –
only oil-free machines exclude contamination risks for 100% – and
guaranteeing the utmost reliability around the clock. And not just
today, but day after day, year after year, with minimal maintenance
cost, few service interventions and long overhaul intervals.
Advantage:
Pioneering the development of oil-free air technology
The ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 certification means, zero risk of our products contaminating the compressed air. This means we won't damage your company’s hard-won professional reputation due to oil contamination from our oil-free products.
Maximum energy efficiency
The ZR/ZT’s superior oil-free screw elements provide the optimum
combination of high Free Air Delivery (FAD) with the lowest energy
consumption. Ample sized cooling, low pressure drops and an
extremely efficient drive train result in the highest compressor
package efficiency.
The most complete package
With the ZR/ZT compressor, Atlas Copco provides a superior solution without hidden costs. The totally integrated, ready-to-use package includes internal piping, coolers, motor, lubrication and control system. The Full Feature version even integrates an IMD adsorption dryer for an impeccable end product. Installation is fault-free, commissioning time is low and no external instrument air is required. You simply plug and run.
Global presence - local service
Our aftermarket product portfolio is designed to add maximum value for our customers by ensuring the optimum availability and reliability of their compressed air equipment with the lowest possible operating costs. We deliver this complete service guarantee through our extensive service organization, maintaining our position as leader in compressed air.
Optimize your system
With the ZR/ZT, Atlas Copco provides an all-in-one standard package
incorporating the latest technology in a built to-last design. To
further optimize your ZR/ZT's performance or to simply tailor it to
your specific production environment, optional features are
available.
Flowchart
Process flow, oil flow and cooling flow - step by step
1. Filtration & first compression
The light blue flow represents the air. Air is drawn into the
compressor through the inlet filter where the air is cleaned. Then
passes through the throttle valve with integrated blow off valve
that takes care of the load unload regulation.
In the first compression stage the air pressure is raised to the
intermediate pressure after which the air is cooled down in the
inter-cooler.
2. Cooling & second compression
After the inter-cooler the air passes through a moisture separation system before entering the high pressure stage. In the high pressure stage the pressure is brought to the final pressure.
3. Cooling & drying
The air at the outlet of the high pressure stage is split in two
parts. One part goes via the pulsation damper with integrated check
valve to the after-cooler where it is cooled down and moisture is
separated and evacuated. A second part goes directly to the
regeneration area of the heat compression MD dryer.
In the regeneration area of the dryer the hot air regenerates the
adsorption drum after which it passes through the regeneration
cooler where it is cooled down and moisture is separated and
evacuated. The cold air coming from the regeneration section is
then mixed with the cold air from the after-cooler in the
nozzle-ejector system before passing through the drying section of
the adsorption drum where the moisture is removed. Dry air leaves
the compressor through the outlet connection flanges.
4.Oil flow
The yellow flow is the oil path within the compressor where the oil pump sucks oil from the oil sump and pumps it through the oil cooler and a high efficiency filter to give cool clean oil to the bearings and the gears; then the oil flows back to the gear casing.
