Connectivity features are a relatively recent addition to compressor technology. However, they are already playing a crucial role in ensuring that users get the most out of their compressors.
For example, in the past, operators had to be physically present. The SMARTLINK remote monitoring system allows users to keep an eye on their compressor at any time from just about anywhere on the globe.
All you need is an internet connection and a mobile device to optimize the compressor’s performance and safeguard its reliability.
In addition, the Elektronikon® Touch controller, which comes standard with the new VSD generations, allows you to detect small issues in your compressor early on and address them before they become big, costly problems.
The system will even alert you and offer advice on what to do.
In this way, these new connectivity capabilities provide an additional boost to the compressor’s already outstanding efficiency and reliability.
Speaking of a boost …
VSDS compressors come with an intelligent Boost Flow Mode and a limp mode. The former allows you to meet a surge in demand by temporarily exceeding the compressor’s maximum capacity without harming the unit or stopping production. Limp mode ensures the compressor keeps working even when something is wrong. Both features are an important safeguard to avoid expensive shutdowns.
No matter which way you look at it – from efficiency, reliability, connectivity and sustainability – VSD compressors deliver.
And if you are one of the nearly 90% of compressed air users with fluctuating air demand, you should look into how you can put one to work for you.
