Ingersoll Rand R-Series air compressors deliver up to 13% efficiency improvement

Next Generation R-Series compressors also save customers money on equipment and operations by ensuring that discharge air powering equipment carries a minimal amount of moisture, which reduces the dependence on large downstream air dryers.

The Next Generation R-Series is designed for general purpose plant air in support of assembly, manufacturing, mining and conveying applications.

The new air compressors improve performance through a new airend design, developed through advanced analytics and modeling, which includes an optimized rotor profile that provides up to an 13% efficiency improvement compared to previous models.

The new rotor profile also contributes to greater airflow capacity, delivering up to 11% more airflow than previous models. The improved airflow creates a more reliable air supply, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency, even in extreme operating conditions.

An enhanced bearing arrangement and sealed drive system further improves performance and reliability, and reduces the need for maintenance.

The compressors in this series are durable, and built to withstand extreme conditions. The advanced motor design is optimized for operation in challenging environments. The revised, analytics-modeled airflow and piping system further contributes to energy efficiency by ensuring a low pressure drop.

The Next Generation R-Series features the Xe-series controller which allows easy remote access to, and control of, the compressed air system using any current, common web browser. Progressive Adaptive Control™ (PAC) systems software continuously monitors key performance parameters and automatically adjusts settings to the application’s needs.
