True performance Global presence Local service When specifying the true performance of an air compressor, at least three parameters must be considered: Capacity The standard to which the capacity is measured Working pressure The point where the delivery pressure is measured Power consumption The compressor package power required at an effective working pressure (including all internal losses from inlet to outlet). The main drive motor efficiency. Intake volume Inlet flow referred to compressor element inlet conditions. Seal leakages and inlet losses should not deprive you the air you paid for. Atlas Copco ZH compressors are measured according to ASME PTC 10, stipulating the FAD measurement at the outlet of the package, net of all losses. Atlas Copco specifications correspond to the capacity and pressure which the customer receives, not to what the compressor sucks in. Differences are substantial. Delivered volume FAD according to ASME PTC 10. A ZH compressor truly gives what is promised. Site conditions Intake volume - l/s - m 3 /min - cfm External leakages FAD - l/s - m 3 /min - cfm Atlas Copco offers a complete portfolio of Aftermarket products, unrivalled in today s compressed air industry.
