MSG® TURBO-AIR® 2000 Centrifugal Air Compressor

COMPONENTS

• Impellers: Five-axis-milled impellers designed an manufactured with advanced techniques and methods
• Vaned Diffusers: Optimized vane design and placement for increased efficiency
• Lubrication System: Self-contained, low-pressure lubrication system
• Intercoolers/Aftercooler: Water-in-tube intercooler and aftercooler bundles slide out for easy inspection and cleaning
• Advanced Pinion Bearing Design: Designed for extended life and operation at any operational load.
• Seals: Designed with non-contacting and non-wearing labyrinth air and oil seals. No buffer air is required for oil-free air. Do not require periodic replacement like carbon ring seals.
• Horizontally Spilt Gearbox: Allows for easy access when the Jobsite maintenance policy requires periodic inspection.
• Variable Inlet Guide Vanes: Variable inlet guide vanes can offer power savings of up to 9% when operating in a turndown. Inlet guide vanes impart a whirling motion to the inlet airflow in the same direction as the impeller operation, reducing the work input. Net power savings can be realized at reduced flow or on days colder than the design temperature. Inlet guide vanes are positioned close to the inducer of the impeller to maximize performance.

ISO Certified Class 0

The MSG TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressor product line has been engineered to produce oil-free air for more than 60 years. This certification officially acknowledges the ability of our compressors to produce 100% oil-free air, providing our customers with enhanced quality assurance.

BENEFITS OF MSG TURBO-AIR COMPRESSORS:

ISO 8573-1 Certified Oil-Free Air

• Prevents oil contamination of your system
• Limits the potential for compressed air pipeline fires caused by oil carryover
• Eliminates costly waste disposal problems associated with oil-laden condensate
• Eliminates the expense and associated maintenance requirements of oil-removal filters, since no oil enters the compressed air stream in the compressor

Simple Installation

• True unloading capability helps to take advantage of opportunities for energy savings
• Increased uptime compared to alternative technologies translates into reduced operating life-cycle costs
• Reduced number of external connections
• Compact design reduces the required floor space
• Meets OSHA’s sound level requirements without a sound enclosure

Low-Cost Operation

• True unloading capability helps to take advantage of opportunities for energy savings
• Increased uptime compared to alternative technologies translates into reduced operating life-cycle costs
• Excellent part-load efficiencies for any operating load
• No sliding or rubbing parts in the compression process cause wear or efficiency loss

Easy Operation

• The MAESTRO™ Universal control panel provides a built-in web server, allowing compressor monitoring using your local intranet
• Significant annual savings in operating costs by providing more precise control
• Easy-to-use, automatic operation

Easy Maintenance

• Compression elements do not wear or require periodic replacement
• No oil-removal filters to clean or replace
• Accessible, horizontally split gearbox for quick inspection
• Intercooler and aftercooler bundles are easy to remove for inspection and cleaning
• Water-in-tube design of intercooler and aftercooler allow for simple mechanical cleaning
• Maintenance-free dry coupling

High Reliability

• Thrust loads absorbed at low speed
• Non-contacting air and oil seals
• Stainless steel compression elements
• Conservative, high-quality gear design
• Extended life pinion bearing design
• Centrifugal compressors are proven to have a long mean time between failures (MTBF), and independent research has shown an industry-leading availability of 99.7%
