Atlas Copco innovates for sustainable productivity across an array of industries. Their offerings include industrial Atlas Copco compressor, air compressors and air and gas solutions such as blowers and nitrogen generators.
G-series rotary screw Atlas Copco compressor is more energy-efficient than their piston counterparts, providing certified oil-free air. When coupled with an MD dryer, these units produce quiet and compact operation for improved air quality.
Aircraft Manufacturing
Aircraft manufacturing is an intricate and time-consuming process, requiring special machinery and materials for the safe production of high-quality aircraft. Once completed, any new plane must go through rigorous tests before meeting safety standards for commercial use.
Increased travel and transportation are fueling growth for the aircraft manufacturing industry, while technological advancements in avionics have made flights safer and more efficient, which should lead to continued expansion for the global aircraft manufacturing market over the long term. It is anticipated that the aircraft production market will experience compound annual growth rates over time.
Before restarting a compressor, it is crucial to conduct a visual inspection of its equipment. Check that the drive coupling can freely turn, take off any protective guarding from the compressor, and connect its air connection with a shut-off valve, strainer, or water blast cooling system as required. If you feel uncertain about carrying out these checks on your own, contact the Atlas Copco Field Service team so a trained technician can help ease the start-up of your compressor.
Medical Gases
Medical gas is essential to the operation of most hospitals and healthcare facilities, including surgical centres, clinics, renal and pulmonary care centres, private practises, dental offices, and EMS operations. Common types of medical gases include oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and helium.
Hospitals frequently rely on compressed air systems for the distribution of medical gases. A scroll compressor is ideal as it is quiet, low-maintenance, and operates well throughout all duty cycles while keeping oil out of the compressed air to avoid contamination.
Medical air travels through clean copper pipes into surgical suites and patient rooms. It is vital that this system be regularly inspected to ensure its smooth functioning. Inspections help you avoid downtime caused by malfunctioning systems while helping your facility meet legal obligations.
Aerospace
Aerospace is an international industry that involves the production, research, development, and testing of aircraft and spacecraft, as well as their research, development, and testing. Governments worldwide fund this sector; examples include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the US, the European Space Agency in Europe, the Russian Federal Space Agency, the China National Space Agency, SUPARCO Pakistan Limited, and the Indian Space Research Organisation, to name just a few.
Start-up efficiency starts by making sure that all systems are connected and prepared for service resumption. This includes checking that air connections in the equipment room are complete with proper shut-off valves, that the compressor has access to an air blast cooling system (if applicable), and that all power is restored for the VSD compressor.
