Hertz Kompressoren has introduced into the U.S. market its IMPETUS two-stage, variable speed, low-horsepower (hp) Series of air compressors ranging from 22kW (30-hp) to 75kW (100-hp), both air and water cooled. The low horsepower series complements the higher horsepower two-stage, variable speed machines ranging from 90kW (125-hp) to 315kW (430-hp), which has been in the U.S. market for several years.
The Hertz low horsepower, two-stage machines offer excellent isentropic efficiencies, higher than 80% and as high as 86%. The reason for this high efficiency is that these two-stage machines run cooler, have an air flow path that reduces pressure loss, have oversized separators, are oil-cooled, have a permanent magnetic motors and large intake chambers.
Two-stage air compressors have been proven to reduce energy and long-term maintenance costs by 15% or more. Since the work is being done by two airends, the thrust load is reduced by more than half on each airend resulting in a longer life for the airends, bearings and shafts. The units are also offered with an optional heat recovery kit.
Hertz is offering low horsepower, two-stage variable speed rotary screws in the following sizes: 22kW (30-hp), 30kW (40-hp), 37kW (50-hp), 45kW (60-hp), 55kW (75-hp) and 75kW (100-hp).
The IMPETUS Series of low horsepower, VSD air compressors offers a user-friendly Smart Logik controller that can manage up to four air compressors and can be programmed “lead/lag” as well as for weekly scheduling. The communication technology of the controller is ModbusTCP and can connect to a customer’s digital communications system.
“This Hertz two-stage IMPETUS, low horsepower, variable speed series of compressors is the best and most efficient rotary screw compressor in the market today. The future is two-stage machines because of the tremendous energy savings realized with these compressors,” said Mert Alpagut, Vice President, Hertz Kompressoren U.S.
