Atlas Copco GA90 - 315 VSD+ | Technical Specifications

High Efficiency
The GA90 - 315+VSD Series air compressors feature intelligent oil injection technology and high-efficiency IE4/IE5 oil-cooled motors. The motor and compressor element are integrated into a single compact drive system with an IP66 protection rating.

A highly efficient transmission system, combined with an oversized cooling system, low-pressure-drop piping, and the precise Elektronikon® Touch control system, significantly reduces overall compressor energy consumption and operating costs.

Reliable Performance
The GA+ Series compressor drive system is rated IP66, providing excellent protection against dust and moisture in harsh industrial environments. This robust design ensures stable and reliable operation even under demanding working conditions, with the compressor capable of operating at ambient temperatures of up to 55°C.

Easy Maintenance
All components requiring regular service and maintenance are designed for easy access, significantly reducing maintenance time. The unique enclosure panel design provides convenient access to all internal components, while each component is engineered with serviceability in mind.

Compared with conventional compressor designs, the GA+ Series can reduce average maintenance time by more than 50%, helping minimize downtime and improve overall equipment availability.

Variable Speed Drive System (VSD+)
Energy costs can account for up to 80% of a compressor’s total lifecycle cost, while compressed air can represent as much as 40% of a factory’s total electricity costs. To reduce energy consumption, Atlas Copco pioneered the use of variable speed drive technology in air compressors.
VSD technology significantly reduces energy consumption and contributes to more sustainable production. Thanks to continuous investment in variable speed drive technology, Atlas Copco VSD compressors offer a wider operating range to better match changing compressed air demand.

VSD+ Energy Savings
Atlas Copco variable speed drive compressors automatically adjust motor speed to match actual air demand, helping reduce energy costs by up to 35%*. On average, the total lifecycle cost of a compressor can be reduced by 22%.
In addition, VSD technology helps lower overall system pressure across the compressed air network, further reducing energy consumption throughout the production process.

Dual Pressure Setpoints and Automatic Stop
Compressed air pressure demand in most production processes varies over time. When the required pressure is lower, maintaining the compressor at a constant higher operating pressure can result in significant energy waste. The Elektronikon® controller allows two pressure setpoints to be configured, enabling manual or automatic switching between operating pressures to match different pressure requirements at different times and reduce energy costs.

The controller also integrates Atlas Copco′s proprietary control algorithms, which minimize unloaded running time while avoiding frequent motor starts and stops, further reducing compressor operating costs.

Engineered for Efficiency
The intelligent oil injection system precisely matches the oil flow to the requirements of the compressor element, ensuring consistently high operating efficiency.
High-efficiency IE4 motors for fixed-speed models and IE5 motors for VSD+ variable-speed models.
The integrated energy recovery system can recover up to 78% of the energy generated by the compressor system.
Dual-speed or variable-speed fans further reduce energy consumption under low-temperature operating conditions.

Elektronikon® Touch for remote monitoring

The Elektronikon® controller features unique control logic and algorithms that optimize the performance of the compressor and air treatment equipment under different operating conditions.

Our solutions provide multiple benefits, including reduced energy consumption, shorter maintenance time, and lower maintenance costs. This helps reduce both your energy costs and overall operating pressure.

Extend Component Service Life: Replace components only when necessary based on the actual operating condition of the compressor, helping extend their service life.
Save Costs: Early warning functions help identify potential compressor issues in time and avoid production losses caused by unexpected downtime.

Hybrid Compressor Operating Principle
Atlas Copco innovatively integrates a fixed-speed module and a variable-speed module into one hybrid compressor. Combined with our intelligent control system, the hybrid design can match the customer’s compressed air demand more precisely.

Advantages of the Hybrid Compressor
The hybrid compressor features two independent drive trains: one fixed-speed drive train and one variable-speed drive train. This design offers the following advantages: a wider variable-speed operating range, lower overall specific power consumption, lower backup compressor costs, and higher system reliability.

Greater Flexibility
The hybrid compressor can operate automatically as a single variable-speed compressor, or the two compressor modules can operate independently, with only one running when required. This also means that customers can select a lower-power compressor as the backup unit.

Energy Recovery for Greater Energy Savings
A large amount of the heat generated during air compression is normally dissipated through the cooling system and lost to the environment. Atlas Copco’s energy recovery system is designed to recover a significant portion of this waste heat and convert it into useful energy in the form of hot water.

The recovered heat can be reused directly for applications such as process heating, hot water production and other industrial purposes, helping reduce overall energy consumption and operating costs.

For a compact and efficient installation, the main components of the energy recovery system are integrated into the compressor.
