Small compressor is variable speed

Solo Series variable speed rotary screw compressors range from 7.5 to 20 hp. Controls vary the speed of the motor to match air demand and save up to 35% in energy costs compared to conventional compressors. The units are quiet, as low as 58 dBA, which enables them to be located at the point of use and near employees. The compressor shaft and motor rotor are one piece.

Dryer adjusts to required load

SRV refrigerated air dryer combines the most advanced features of variable speed drive with those of thermal mass storage to deliver maximum energy savings and the lowest possible dew point. For high airflows, the dryer uses variable speed operation. Inverter operation allows the dryer to adapt itself to the required load. A soft start allows the compressor to cycle on and off as often as every 3 min.
