Elgi Equipments showcases upgraded compressor range

?Energy accounts for almost 75-80 per cent of the lifecycle cost of an air compressor. Across the world, business owners are increasingly faced with not just the rising costs of fuel, but global concerns about the environment and air quality. At ELGi, we?ve made a commitment to every customer across the globe - our compressors offer maximum energy efficiency and sustainable advantages from a total cost of ownership perspective? said Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi Equipments.

The new range of encapsulated (ENCAP/EN) screw air compressors address a customer?s varying air flow demands with high energy efficiency. The EN VFD optimises air flow by varying the motor speed of the compressor according to the air demand, thus saving energy costs unlike that of fixed speed compressors. The EN series models also come equipped with smart controllers that monitor, control and protect the compressor from failures by shutting down the compressor whenever necessary. The ELGi heat recovery system (HRS) helps companies recover approximately 96 per cent of heat generated during the compression process which can then be utilised for heating air (space) or water. This in turn eliminates additional equipment requirements to heat water or air, thereby becoming an energy saving device and contributing to a reduction in CO2 emissions.

S Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director, Craftsman Automation, an ELGi customer for over 15 years said, ?ELGi powers our plants across India and ELGi?s screw air compressors have not just enabled significant energy savings but also delivered best-in-class lifecycle cost. The uptime warranty offered by ELGi has helped us improve productivity and profitability at all of our units. We look forward to our continued association and we wish ELGi the very best always.?
