Atlas Copco GA11VSDs FF 15hp VSD Rotary Screw Compressor with Dryer 10-71cfm 150psi 460v 8153348168

Atlas Copco GA11VSDs FF 15hp VSD Rotary Screw Compressor with Dryer 10-71cfm 150psi 460v 8153348168

The Atlas Copco GA11VSDs FF variable speed drive rotary screw compressor with integrated air dryer delivers between 10-71CFM at 125 PSI depending on your plant air demand. The compressor operates on 460v power with a maximum pressure of 150psi. The internal Atlas Copco part number for this compressor is 8153348168.

The VSDs series automatically adjusts compressor output to match changes in plant air demand. Instead of repeatedly loading and unloading like a traditional fixed-speed compressor, the GA11 VSDS varies motor speed to minimize unloaded operation and wasted electricity. Potential energy savings of up to 60% are realized compared to fixed-speed compressors.

This is Atlas Copco's "Full Feature" compressor that includes an integrated refrigerated air dryer. It provides the clean, dry air that improves your system’s reliability, avoids costly downtime, and safeguards the quality of your products. The refrigerated air dryer achieves a pressure dewpoint of 3°C/37.4°F and utilizes a heat exchanger with cross-flow technology for lower pressure drop. 

At the center of the GA11 VSDS is Atlas Copco’s in-house-designed drivetrain, featuring a high-efficiency Ferrite-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance motor that equals IE5 efficiency standards. The motor is oil-cooled, uses oil-lubricated bearings and is directly coupled to the compression element, eliminating gears and belts that can create transmission losses and require replacement. The complete drivetrain is IP66 protected against dust and dirt, while the integrated Neos Next inverter is designed specifically for compressor operation.

Integrated Refrigerated Air Dryer: 

Untreated compressed air contains moisture, aerosols and dirt that increase the risk of corrosion and compressed air system leaks. This can result in a damaged air system and contaminated end products. The GA 11 VSDS FF comes in a Full Feature version with a built-in refrigerant dryer. It provides the clean, dry air that improves your system’s reliability, avoids costly downtime, and safeguards the quality of your products.

• Pressure dewpoint of 3°C/37.4°F (100% relative humidity at 20°C/68°F).
• Heat exchanger cross-flow technology with low pressure drop.
• Zero waste of compressed air thanks to no-loss condensate drain.
• Zero ozone depletion.

Thanks to its Smart Temperature Control System, the GA VSDS is the first compressor to offer full injection control to eliminate the risk of condensation and maximize compression efficiency. An advanced algorithm in the Elektronikon controller combines multiple operational parameters to calculate the optimal oil temperature, which the Neos Next implements by regulating the VSD fan and the STC valve. 

Boost Flow Mode:
Boost Flow gives the GA VSDS compressor temporary extra capacity when air demand unexpectedly exceeds its normal maximum output. Instead of allowing system pressure to drop, the compressor can deliver approximately 5% additional airflow for a cumulative total of up to 100 hours. This provides a built-in reserve for short-term demand spikes without negatively affecting compressor operation or reliability, helping facilities maintain productivity without immediately investing in a larger compressor.

NEOS Next Variable Speed Inverter:
The NEOS Next inverter is Atlas Copco’s in-house developed variable-speed drive, designed specifically for compressed air applications. It continuously adjusts the speed of the compressors main motor and coordinates operation of the variable-speed cooling fan to match actual air demand. Its integrated digital inputs and outputs eliminate the need for a separate electrical cubicle, helping create a more compact and streamlined compressor design. The enclosed, IP54-protected construction also helps shield sensitive electronics from dust and harsh industrial environments, improving long-term reliability.

Variable Speed Fan:
The fan automatically adjusts its speed according to the compressors cooling requirements instead of running continuously at full output. This reduces fan-related electricity consumption, lowers operating noise and vibration, and provides more precise oil cooling. Working together with Atlas Copco’s Smart Temperature Control valve, the fan helps maintain the ideal oil-injection temperature in real time, reducing the risk of condensation when temperatures are too low and preventing efficiency losses when temperatures are too high. This optimized temperature control supports improved compressor performance, reliability and lubricant life.

Elektronikon Touch Microprocessor Controller:
The integrated Elektronikon Touch controller provides an intuitive interface for managing compressor operation. It offers operating-status visualization, warning indications, protective shutdowns and maintenance scheduling. Integrated EQ2i functionality can coordinate multiple compatible compressors, while SMARTLINK connectivity allows users to monitor compressor health, service requirements and energy performance remotely.
