Two-Stage Splash and Pressure-Lubricated Versions Available from 5-30 Horsepower

Atlas Copco Compressors has introduced two new piston compressor product ranges that deliver outstanding performance matched with maximum efficiency. Capitalizing on a combination of computer-aided design, computer-controlled machining processes and heavy duty cast iron construction, the new LS and LP Series two-stage compressors deliver up to 175 psig with 24/7 reliability.

“Our close customer relationships have allowed us to gain extensive knowledge of a wide variety of processes, needs and objectives,” said Robert Eshelman, VP and Business Line Manager for Atlas Copco’s U.S. Industrial Air Division. “This knowledge gives us the ability to produce compressed air solutions that meet market expectations and deliver performance that generates a positive impact on our customers’ operations.”

The LS Series two-stage splash-lubricated compressor combines a one-piece aluminum head, which optimizes strength and dissipates heat, with an innovative valve design that provides outstanding volumetric efficiency. These features make the LS Standard ideal for industrial, automotive and commercial applications requiring up to 175 psig.

The LP Series two-stage pressure-lubricated compressor is engineered to deliver reliable results for applications that demand a continuous flow of compressed air. It produces 175 psig, is rated at 100 percent duty cycle and features a stainless steel valve design that delivers the highest volumetric efficiency in the marketplace. These features ensure high reliability and energy savings for the most demanding industrial, automotive and commercial applications.

With industry-leading CFM per brake horsepower, both the LS and LP Series compressors are available in a full-range of horsepower increments from 5-30 horsepower. Both the LS and LP Series compressors are virtually maintenance free, with easily accessible components.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
