GA15 FLX - 20Hp Dual Speed Rotary Screw Air compressor with Dryer, tankless - 460/3/60 - 58/175 PSI

Atlas Copco GA 11-30 FLX (11-30 kW/15-40 hp) Dual-speed oil-injected rotary screw compressors - A new type of flexibility and efficiency

With the GA FLX, Atlas Copco introduces an entirely new compressor type: the dual-speed rotary screw compressor. The GA FLX was developed and built to give you valuable energy savings no fixed-speed compressor can. Thanks to its next-generation engineering and connectivity, it also offers optimal air delivery at every pressure set point for superior performance and flexibility. In short, the GA FLX brings the innovation that will make a real difference to your operation and your bottom line.

Double-digit energy savings

• Drastically reduces transient and unload energy losses.

• Lowers energy consumption by up to 20% (compared to GA fixed-speed models).

• FASR motor equals IE5 standards.

• Additional energy savings with up to 80% heat recovery.

Advanced connectivity

• State-of-the-art Elektronikon® Touch controller.

• SMARTLINK real-time, remote monitoring and optimization.

• OPC UA available for production system integration.

Premium performance

• Can start under pressure to save on start-up time and energy use.

• Works at any pressure setting without loss of air flow.

• Wide range of options allow you to tailor the GA FLX to your needs.

Compact footprint

• Extremely small footprint ensures easy, flexible installation.

• 50% smaller than fixed-speed GA.

• Full feature (FF) version with fully integrated dryer and filters saves on floor space.

What is a dual-speed compressor?

Traditional fixed-speed compressors only have one motor speed, 100% on. This is what you need to receive maximum air flow. But whenever your air demand is a little or a lot lower than your compressor’s maximum capacity, this fixed motor speed requires a lot of energy that is essentially wasted. A dual-speed compressor operates at two speeds, one for maximum capacity and a minimum speed to reduce energy consumption during unload. As a result, it is much more efficient than a fixed-speed, as it experiences lower transient and blow-off losses.

Fixed-speed, dual-speed or VSD?

The Atlas Copco GA oil-injected rotary screw range comes in fixed-speed, dual-speed FLX and Variable Speed Drive versions. Here’s the difference between the three.

• GA: Reliability and quality for the lowest investment cost, but energy efficiency is limited and total cost of ownership is higher.

• GA FLX: Strong performance, double-digit energy savings for a reduced cost of ownership, and higher operational versatility.

• GA VSD(S): The first compressor to adapt its operation in real-time to your needs, application and conditions to give you up to 60% energy savings. Intelligent features help set new standards in performance, reliability and connectivity.
