Tailored screw compressors
October 13th 2011

Hertz Kompressoren has tailored its HSC Frecon Series Screw Compressors, and says they are the ideal choice for all kinds of industries and applications.

The company says: "Every screw compressor model is equipped with an exclusive screw block, constructed with the strongest materials and each compressor ensure exceptional performance, efficiency and long lasting maintenance life.

"Standard air compressors are designed to operate continuously at full capacity. However depending on the application, the need for compressed air varies significantly.

"Research has shown, that on average, only 50-70% of the Compressor capacity is utilized. HERTZ FRECON models within the Variable Speed Controlled Compressor Series, give you the advantage to reduce energy costs by up to 35%."

Tests compared energy consumption between same sized ON/OFF-load compressors and HSC FRECON Compressors. This consisted of cost over 5 years, compressors running 4000hours/year with an average load ratio of 60% "on load" and 40% "off load" at today's high energy costs.

The company explains: "Frecon shows remarkable savings in energy and also in total costs of the compressor. The payback time of the FRECON unit could be between 1-2 years."
