HYDROVANE AIR COMPRESSORS

​

Rotary Vane - Better by Design

Direct Drive so no gears, belts or pulleys for 100% Drive Efficiency

100% Duty Design and Build Quality capable of constant 24/7 Operation

Unique Rotary Vane Design wears in over time, not out unlike screws

Quiet Operation often enabling installation close to your point of use

Less Wear & More Service Life with only one major moving part, the Rotor

White Metal Bushes not bearings with indefinite service life so no overhauls

Cleanest Air Available from an oil lubricated unit minimizing air treatment

No Air Receiver is needed saving on Pressure System Reg’s Compliance costs

Design Council Award Winning and the only UK manufactured industrial brand.

Manufacturers Extended Warranty protecting you from potential repair costs

Hydrovane air compressors sell on reputation and have done so since its conception back in 1948, with accumulated Global Sales of more than 1,000,000 units. It is the only British manufactured industrial duty brand of air compressor on the market and offers many real benefits when compared to other technologies. Designed and built for up to 100% duty these unique machines can often run past 100,000 hours without main component replacement.

Suitable for small and medium industrial applications up to 45kW [259cfm]

COMPRESSED AIR ENERGY – COSTS & SAVINGS

Save energyFor industrial compressed air users with varying demand all our Hydrovane & CompAir compressors (7kW+) can be supplied with regulated speed drives to precisely match motor power consumption to air demand, delivering typically on-going Energy Savings of between 20-50%.

The premium for regulated speed is a sound investment because over 10 years the average cost of compressed air is actually 75% energy (15% capital, 10% maintenance), due to most existing installations operating inefficiently with single speed compressors running at only 40% to 70% of their full load capacity.

Monitor energy costsCompressed air is the most expensive utility with 7-8 HP of electricity needed to produce just 1 HP of Air Force, so you should always ensure your compressor is not over-sized. Every 1 bar reduction in system pressure will actually reduce your energy consumption by about 7%.

ENERGY SAVING CHECK LIST

• Ensure your compressors are shut down and turned off when not in use.
• Reduce air leaks from pipework, an industrial system can have typical leakage rates of between 25% to 60%
• Ensure correct sizing of pipework and use low friction smooth bore aluminium to reduce pressure drop.
• Use compressor management systems to optimally sequence compressors to suit your demand profile.
• Install zero loss drains for your condensate management as blowing air to atmosphere is a waste of money.
• Change line filter elements regularly, blocked elements restrict air flow making your compressor work harder.
