RS200 to RS250kW models available with most efficient airend
available today
DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ingersoll Rand®, a global leader in compression technologies and
services, introduced new models to its line of Next Generation R-Series
oil-flooded rotary screw air compressors, which provide a more
energy-efficient solution for customers with high capacity air
requirements.

The Next Generation R-Series 200-250kW rotary screw air compressors from Ingersoll Rand provide a more energy-efficient solution for customers with high capacity air requirements. The fixed-speed models are 10 percent more efficient compared to legacy products, while the variable speed option is up to 35 percent more efficient compared to the industry average.

The RS200 to RS250 models are available with the new, state-of-the-art
single-stage airend, or the two-stage airend that increases airflow by
up to 16 percent. The new fixed-speed models are 10 percent more
efficient compared to legacy products, while the variable speed option
is up to 35 percent more efficient compared to the industry average.
“The ability for these compressors to deliver outstanding efficiency
without compromising reliability meets the increasing demands of
industries to increase productivity while reducing energy use,” said
Eric Seidel, vice president of product management for compression
technologies and services at Ingersoll Rand. “Our Next-Generation
R-Series RS200 to RS250 models help customers increase overall system
reliability and decrease their total cost of ownership with new
state-of-the-art features and performance enhancements that save them
tens of thousands of Euros.”
Ingersoll Rand has added these models to the Next Generation R-Series
portfolio allowing customers who run 24/7 and rely on large amounts of
compressed air to have equipment that is as reliable as their demand.
According to internal testing, efficiency and design improvements on
some of the high capacity compressors deliver up to a €40,000 energy
cost savings over a two-year period per compressor compared to previous
models1. The RS200 to RS250kW models are the third
introduction to the Next Generation R-Series line of compressors,
following the Next Generation R-Series 30 to 37kW fixed-speed and
variable speed drive introductions in 2015 and 2016.
At the core of every Ingersoll Rand Next Generation R-Series compressor
is an airend that is specifically designed to improve overall system
efficiency. In addition to the enhanced single-stage airend, the RS200
to RS250 models are also available with the new two-stage airend. This
two-stage airend is the most efficient airend available today.
Each compressor comes standard with Progressive Adaptive Control (PAC)
Protection, V-ShieldTM technology, floating coolers and Ultra
EL Lubricant. These features help keep equipment running efficiently and
maximize uptime for facilities that are manufacturing around the clock.
-
PAC Protection is a unique algorithm developed by Ingersoll Rand and
is integrated in the controls system within each compressor. The
system monitors key performance parameters for when consumable parts
are nearing the end of their life, or if operating temperatures are
reaching design limits. In these situations, the controls adjust the
parameters to keep the machine running without overloading the motor,
preventing unnecessary shutdown.
-
V-Shield technology safeguards all critical fittings by securing them
with o-ring face seals in a method that is largely free from
distortion. Leaks are virtually eliminated, meaning performance isn’t
sacrificed, regardless of how many reconnections are made.
-
The floating cooling system from Ingersoll Rand contains heat
exchangers with finger-tight connections so they can expand and
contract as needed. This new design improves overall system
reliability, because welded connections reduce the ability for heat
exchangers to expand and contract, which is the number one reason they
fail.
-
Ultra EL is formulated to last up to 16,000 hours, which is twice as
long as other rotary lubricants. Ultra EL keeps compressors running at
peak performance, minimizing downtime and lowering lifecycle costs.
All Next Generation R-Series air compressors are equipped with Xe-series
controllers, which allow easy, intuitive access to, and control of, the
compressed air system. The Xe145 controller has built-in performance
analysis and graphical trending, as well as built-in sequencing for up
to four compressors.
