Join Keynote Speaker, Tom Taranto, Owner, Data Power Services to learn how to select from a range of oil-free air compressor technologies. He will discuss how proper selection satisfies different applications, discharge pressure and delivered air flow capacity. This webinar will demonstrate how baseline performance data determines sizing, selection, capacity control strategies and ultimately energy consumption. Mr. Taranto will also discuss how multiple air compressor systems and their control strategies impact air compressor size selection.

Our first Sponsor Speaker is Leo Di Bello, Product Marketing Manager – Medium Pressure Oil-free Screw Compressors, Atlas Copco Compressors. His presentation is titled, “Five Common Pitfalls When Selecting and Sizing an Oil-free Compressor.” This presentation will show practical examples of common pitfalls we see when sizing oil-free compressors and, importantly, how to take steps to avoid them.

Our second Sponsor Speaker is Tim Albers, Director of Product Management, Nidec Motor Corporation. His presentation is titled, “Choosing the Right Compressor Motor.” There are many factors to consider when choosing the right motor for an air compressor application. This presentation will focus on the critical characteristics for design of electric motors used on centrifugal and screw air compressors. Critical design points include fixed or variable speed, winding and bearing temperature, voltage tolerances, efficiency levels, starting methods and starting characteristics and many other specifications depending on the end application and environmental conditions.
