Atlas Copco Reciprocating piston compressors HX&HN-15

•   Ensuring reliable production
-   Designed for 24/7 industrial service, HX/HN compressors meet your requirements for a smooth and reliable supply of air or gas at all times, without the need for constant supervision. Proof of their reliability is the thousands of machines that have been
operating worldwide for decades.

•   Preserving your process with oil-free technology
-   Oil-free compression safeguards the quality of the gas compressed. In most applications, even the slightest pollution is unacceptable and could lead to high risks for your production.

•   Maximizing savings
-   Reciprocating technology is a proven standard for high-pressure applications where low energy consumption is a must.
Adapted capacity control enhances the energy efficiency of these compressors. The integration of the latest innovations in
terms of monitoring and control ranks HX/HN compressors extremely high for energy savings.

•   Class Zero: A step forward in purity
-   ISO 8573-1 (2010) establishes a comprehensive classification and measurement methodology in which
Class Zero represents the best possible air quality. HX/HN air compressors have been tested and certified by the TÜV and comply with Class Zero for air purity.

•   Reliability due to superior design
-   Heavy duty crankcase with forced feed lubrication for good lubrication allowing more load.
-   Precise lubrication points on each bearing, extending bearing life time.
-   Replaceable precision-bored sleeve bearings on the complete range for increased reliability and easy maintenance.
-   Double bearing on crankshaft at flywheel side avoids crankshaft deformation & damage from over-tensioning of V-belts or heavy flywheel, increasing drive train reliability.
-   Crankshaft made in ductile cast-iron (higher ranges: forged steel) to take more load, increasing reliability.

•   Safe cylinders
-   Cooled by forced water circulation to minimize temperatures,increasing efficiency and reliability.
-   For water saturated gases:
-   Discharge valves at the bottom, in accordance with API 618.
-   Non-accumulation of condensate for increased lifetime of piston rings.

•   Superior valve quality
-   Superior stainless steel valves, precise sizing and selection for eachapplication for high efficiency and long lasting performance.
-   Wide port area, ensuring minimal pressure loss.
-   Customized discs (PEEK or stainless steel) for each application.
-   Fail-safe type suction valves (unloading on air or nitrogen), when required by the process.

•   Reliable pistons and piston rods
-   Pistons are made of composite aluminum, stainless steel or other materials according to the process.
-   Piston rods in stainless steel or 42CD4 (hardened & tempered steel) with API 618 compliant hardness
coating (induction or plasma) ensuring long life of packing rings.
-   Piston is positively locked by Superbolt® on the piston rod: a highly secure tightening technology.
-   Piston rings are made of composite PTFE for long life.

•   Adapted to gas composition
-   Components (valves, piston rod packings, cylinders) are specially selected according to gas composition and humidity content.
-   Specially adapted materials such as stainless steel pressure vessels and piping in case of wet gas for a reduced risk of corrosion.

•   Horizontal design for reduced maintenance
-   Less vibrations for longer component life.
-   Reduced forces and torques to minimize foundation requirement.
-   Reduced specific load on piston wear bands for longer life.
-   Easy access to all parts and easily removable crosshead guide.
-   Skid mounted, plug & play compressor.

•   Long lasting performance due to low temperatures
-   Low piston speeds and low revolution speeds for low temperatures.
-   Lower gas temperatures ensure longer component life.
-   Excellent cylinder cooling due to forced cool water circulation.
