PET Compressor
ABC compressor construction starts with a robust frame and sump, providing generous pressurized lubrication to all crankshaft and rod bearings, and ending with double friction bearings on the drive side.
Cylinders are horizontally opposed, with crankpins displaced by 180º, cancelling out the inertia loads and virtually eliminating all vibration.
· The useful life of mechanical parts is significantly lengthened because they do not transmit excessive force or produce fatigue on structural parts of the compressor, ensuring stability of the pipes. · No anti-vibration or special foundations are required, only
2 kg/cm2 soil loading.
· Compressor and all peripheral components are mounted on a single skid to form a complete self-contained, reliable air system.

application
4HA-6-TRIS-LT up to 2.321 m3/h PET Compressor EFFICIENT DESIGNWith savings of up to 15% of real energy consumption, the ABC design gives optimum performance.
This energy savings guarantees the most competitive total operating cost (energy consumption + cost of the machine + maintenance), and has a significant impact on consumption, since energy costs are 80% of the total cost of the compressor throughout its useful life.
· Double-acting cylinders minimise leaks and premature wear and tear.
· With a wide range of double-acting cylinders, ABC is able to balance compression ratios, thereby improving efficiency and lowering energy consumption.
· Generous cooling between stages.
· Large stainless-steel valve outlet surfaces, reduces pressure drops.
· When unloaded, venting the intercoolers is not required, another way we increase efficiency and lower energy consumption. · Up to four-stage compression design optimises the compression
cycle facilitating the removal of the heat generated during the compression process.
· Adaptation of independent vents per stage, preventing leaks. · Large-capacity air receiver for more precise regulation,
extending the life of the valve unloaders.
· The soft starter is supplied on all ABC packages above 200 kW, and is optional for compressors of lower power. This eliminates inrush current, thereby avoiding costly “peak” charges.
· When coordinating systems with several compressors, ABC offers intelligent systems that make it possible to select and prioritise the start up of the compressors according to the demand for compressed air.
The ABC compressor can be furnished with optional energy saving systems which can be supplied with the compressor package, or retrofitted at a later date.
· Lower energy consumption · Without air leaks
· Lower temperatures in operation · Longer durability of parts · Better regulation

FREQUENCY CONVERTER
ABC offers variable speed drives, VSD, which make it possible to reduce or eliminate the compressor valve unloading which uses energy without producing compressed air.
The balanced mechanical design of the ABC compressor permits it to operate at a slow rotational speed, while maintaining sufficient lubrication to all mechanical parts and control of the rotational inertia forces.
ABC takes full advantage of the variable frequency converter features, allowing a wide range of capacity control of up to 50% of the speed range.
REINJECTION SYSTEM
When the customer opts for air recovery from the stretched blowing machine, ABC re-injects it inside the compressor with a subsequent energy saving. Additionally, thanks to four stages of compression, up to 50% of the energy required for compression is saved (re-injected into the 3rd stage), as opposed to the 33% saving achieved in the three-stage compression, where it is re-injected into the second stage.

attributes; lower cylinder temperatures, less operating stress on structural elements, which immediately lengthens the useful life of valve, rings, gaskets, etc.
Depending on the location of the installation and the characteristics of the surroundings, the ABC compressor package is supplied in four- or three-stage configurations. The four-stage configuration is especially suitable for installation in the following circumstances:
· High altitudes where ambient inlet pressure is low and a high compression ratio is encountered.
· High room temperatures due to the ambient conditions of the plant installation.
· Very demanding work conditions, where the equipment is subjected to tougher-than-usual conditions.
· Installations in which longer time between maintenance cycles is required.
