PROVEN
TECHNOLOGY
At
the
heart
of
the
new
AQ
range
is
a
unique
water-injected
screw
element
working
highly
efficient
near
isothermal
compression.
The
polymer
ceramic
rotors
with
their
optimized
rotor
profile
are
supported
by
water-lubricated
bearings,
ensuring
that
no
oil
whatsoever
can
contaminate
the
compression
element,thereby
producing
pure
oil-free
air.
Rotors
A
highly
efficient
compression
process
is
achieved
thanks
to
high
quality
polymer
mould
ceramic
rotors
with
optimum
profiling.
The
combination
of
corrosion-free,
high
efficiency
raw
material
and
water
lubrication
results
in
a
longer
lifespan.
Element
housing
Strength
and
durability
are
ensured
as
a
result
of
the
aluminium
bronze
element
housing
without
risk
of
corrosion
within
the
element.
Element
bearings
The
use
of
hydrodynamic
bearings
ensure
long
life
as
no
physical
contact
is
made
within
the
bearing
itself,
it
simply
glides
on
a
film
of
water
removing
the
need
for
any
oil
or
grease
lubrication.
Superior
water-injected
screw
element
•
Increased
free
air
delivery.
•
Low
specific
energy
consumption.
•
Near
isothermal
compression
process.
•

ratings
of
7,
10
and
13
bar.
The
highly
effective
cooling
capabilities
of
water
combined
with
precision
engineering
ensure
the
supreme
energy
efficiency
of
the
AQ
compressors.
