Equalizer 4.0 and Optimizer 4.0 Controllers

Optimise Your Air System Performance with a Central Compressor Control System

Reducing production costs while maintaining a reliable compressed air supply is essential for industrial operations. At the same time, environmental responsibility requires minimising CO2 emissions through lower energy consumption. Compressed air installations, with their substantial power demands, present a key opportunity for improvement. The Atlas Copco Equaliser EQ4.0 and Optimiser 4.0 central compressor control systems provide the ideal solution.

Benefit of a Compressor Control System

Efficiency Potential 10% energy savings on a typical compressed air installation with mixed size and technology of compressors.

Regulation of the system pressure within a predefined and narrow pressure band to optimize energy efficiency
Prioritized use of the most economic machines over older, less effective versions.
Continuous usage of VSD machines, the most energy efficient machines for variable load
Assurance that multiple VSD and/or Turbo compressors are used in their most efficient performance zones when working together
Shutdown scheduling to avoid costs during non-working hours

Reliability Stability and uptime.

Optimized pressure stability reduces problems with air operated equipment
Use of newer, more modern machines over older ones reduces downtime
Workload equalization avoids overloads on individual machine.

Reduced maintenance cost of equipment

Comprehensive, flexible machine sequence control ensures the installed machines are able to work in groups. The ES compressor control system guarantees that the running hours of the system are equal across all machines in the same group.

The result? Fewer service visits and reduced costs as all machines can be serviced at the same time. Furthermore ES automatically shuts down machines during â€&lig;non-productionâ€�� times such as nights, weekends and holidays, running hours and service costs are further reduced.

Easy installation

CAN (Controller Area Network) is a widely used standardized simple but reliable system. Easy and inexpensive to install.

Increased Reliability

A reliable compressed air system is vital for maintaining smooth operations and minimising downtime. Our compressor control systems ensure stability and dependability.

Stable Air Pressure – Improved pressure stability enhances the performance of air-operated equipment.
Prioritised Modern Equipment – Prioritising newer, modern machines over older ones reduces downtime.
Balanced Workload – Workload balancing prevents excessive strain on individual compressors.
Lower Maintenance Costs – Reduced maintenance costs through equalised machine running hours.
