Precise One-touch Control with Intellisys®

Whether the application requires eight hours of continuous-duty
compressed air or an intermittent supply over a 24-hour period, the
Intellisys® microprocessor is in complete control. The Intellisys controller
provides quick, comprehensive access to your compressed air system at the
touch of a button — nothing could be more intuitive and user-friendly. The
compressor’s operating parameters can be quickly and easily adjusted to
meet the plant air system’s requirements and minimize operating costs.

Automatic Service Prompts for Ensured Maintenance

Intellisys indicates when it is time to perform maintenance. This function
encourages routine service in a timely fashion, thereby increasing uptime.

Timesaving Diagnostics
Intellisys provides a fast diagnosis of system demand, displays a warning and
stops the compressor if it exceeds operating parameters. It also
provides a history of events leading up to the condition. This will keep
troubleshooting expenses and downtime to a minimum. An easy-to-read,
liquid crystal display (LCD) provides you with the critical details of the
compressor’s operation, allowing fast adjustments when necessary.

Digital Motor Control for Option for Maximum Precision*

Our exclusive digitally-controlled stepper motor inlet valve system precisely
matches the airflow to the system demand. Simply set the preferred system
pressure and the built-in Intellisys microprocessor controller takes care of the
rest.

For additional reliability, the inlet control system requires no routine

maintenance. There are no pressure switches to manually recalibrate, no
diaphragm valves that can stick open and no manual adjustments are
required during the course of normal operation.

Innovative Energy Efficient Design
Energy efficiency is one of the most important
considerations in judging the successful operation
of a compressed air system. Energy costs can often
exceed the purchase price of equipment, even
during the system’s first year of operation.

On average, compressed air systems use 10% of the energy consumed by a production facility, so even
small improvements help maximize plant energy efficiency. Ingersoll Rand’s rotary screw air compressors are
designed to help you reduce waste and lower your operating costs — here’s how we do it.

Energy Efficient Airend…for 15% Energy Savings

If you’re looking for the greatest efficiency possible, look no further than Ingersoll Rand
two-stage compressors. The heart of the compressor is our time-proven two-stage airend. By
compressing the air in two stages instead of one, energy savings of up to 15% are realized. The
airend rotors are precision machined in a twenty-step process, ensuring unsurpassed rotor profile
accuracy, repeatability and efficiency.

Reduced Bearing Loads, Increased Life

A lower compression ratio in each stage reduces bearing loads and increases airend life. The use of the
highest quality bearings available ensures years of reliable, efficient service.

Superior Features That Reduce
Operating Costs
Ingersoll Rand rotary screw compressors add
unequalled reliability, efficiency and productivity to
virtually any compressed air system, and could save
you 25-50% of your compressed air system operating
costs.
Convenient Top Exhaust
The cooling air flow discharges from the top of the
package facilitating easy ducting for removal and/
or recovery of exhaust heat.

Air-cooled or Water-cooled Packages

To fit the needs of the compressed air system
Ingersoll Rand offers the choice of an air-cooled or
water-cooled design.

Easy Serviceability
Our total package is remarkably uncluttered,
making servicing easy. All components are readily
accessible behind easily removable panels.

Star-delta Starter
This advanced starter gives the compressor a
controlled, cushioned start, eliminating current
surges and extending component life for increased
system reliability.

Inherent Leak-free Design

Using O-ring fittings significantly
reduces the potential leakage
