In many manufacturing and commercial facilities, compressed air is often referred to as the fourth utility. Compressed air is convenient, versatile, and expensive. It is estimated that in a typical compressed air system over a 5 year period, 86 percent of the total cost is for energy consumed, 8 percent for capital, and 6 percent for maintenance. With energy costs rising to unprecedented levels, energy efficiency in a compressor package is of major importance when evaluating your compressed air system.
|
|
|
|
Your compressed air system has a huge impact on your plant's productivity and profitability. System design and compressor choices are important decisions with long lasting implications for your business. The wrong air system or components is costly - in the form of excess energy consumption, elevated repair and maintenance costs, downtime, poor compressed air quality, unacceptable noise levels and more. You should consider the impact your selection decision will have on the issues.

Two-stage compression is 8 - 12% more efficient than single-stage compression. Gardner Denver™'s new two-stage VST Series™ is a more efficient air compressor than other single and two-stage compressors on the market today. The VST Series™ compressor matches the compressor output (Supply Side) to the system requirements (Demand Side) at the required target pressure. The Gardner Denver™ VST out-performs other base load and other variable speed compressors. We provide the lowest energy cost and the widest operating range of any other compressor. With the variability found in most plant air systems and the ever-escalating cost of energy today, our VST product is the Smarter Solution. The VST offers a reliable and stable air supply at the lowest energy cost.

Evaluate Efficiency - Full Load, Part Load, No Load
|
|
Upper Range - Part Load Efficiency Gains Importance
At full load, the VST Series™ compressor performance is equal to or better than other single-stage and two-stage compressors. As air demand decreases, the VST compressor becomes more energy efficient under part load conditions while other modulating units continue to consume virtually the same amount of energy to compress smaller amounts of air.
Middle Range - VST Takes Charge
In the middle range the, VST Series™ compressor offers significant energy savings compared to the other compressor types. The VST compressor offers up to 61% better energy efficiency than other compressor manufacturers, and the advantage increases as flow demand decreases.
Lower Range - VST is Far Superior
In the lower range the, VST compressor energy savings becomes even greater. The VST compressor can efficiently handle the varying demands of today's air systems over multiple shift operations, saving thousands of dollars in energy cost every year, and resulting in the quickest possible return on investment.

The VS Series™ Provides Efficiency - Full Load, Part Load, No Load

Typical competitive variable speed single-stage and two-stage compressors are not designed to maximize performance. Most manufacturers simply adapt their current products to a variable speed drive and motor. Gardner Denver™'s objective is to design the compressor, drive and motor to compliment one another resulting in the best possible energy savings over the entire operating range of the compressor. The VST Series™ products are specifically designed to meet this objective.
To Maximize Efficiency, the VST Series™ Eliminates Every Possible kW.
Newly Designed air ends perform efficiently at all speeds
Unlimited Start/Stop Operation
When air is not needed, the VST Series™ compressors stop running and do not vent to atmosphere. We do not see the need to waste the compressed air in the reservoir. The "soft" starting capability of the AirSmart™ controller allows the motor to start against a pressurized system at any time and will do so as often as required by the system. Our attention to this energy saving detail saves you energy costs.
air ends Optimized for Variable Speed Operation
Gardner Denver™ invested the capital to develop new air ends with new rotor profiles for the specific purpose of maximizing energy efficiency in two-stage variable speed compressors. We invested in variable speed technology rather than the conventional gear driven air ends. We see this as the future of rotary screw compressors. This technology allows us to synchronize the speeds and performance of the first and second stage air ends, to optimize the performance and energy efficiency throughout the operating range of the package.
Designed for Minimum Pressure Drop
For every 2 psig of pressure drop through a compressor package an additional 1% of power is consumed. Gardner Denver™ analyzed every facet of the compressed air stream to eliminate or minimize pressure drop. CFD analysis allowed us to model the airflow through the system and eliminate any restrictions. Our attention to detail saves you energy costs.
More Models to Choose from
We offer the widest range of two-stage models of any manufacturer in the industry. Our model range begins at 55 kW (75 horsepower) and expands to 260 kW (350 horsepower). This results in the best possible match of our two-stage compressors to your needs and the best value for your application. These compressors will turn down to 20% of their rated capacity. This allows you the flexibility to meet the diverse variability of your plant's requirements while preserving the best possible energy efficiency.

Capability to Meet Varying Compressed Air Demands- Shift-to-shift, weekday-to-weekend, or season-to-season… we offer the widest turndown range in the industry. In other words, we have a greater capability to handle variable air demand requirements.
- Selectable pressure from 100 - 175 psig at the touch of a button - no need for a new compressor when your pressure requirements change.
- Quick response to pressure changes that maintains target pressure within ±1 psi. This provides stable plant pressure resulting in higher productivity.
- Full line of compressors to match your compressed air requirements from 55 to 260 kW. With more models, we can perfectly match your needs.
- System storage requirements are minimal. The VST Series™ is capable of maintaining a ±1 psi pressure bandwidth with as little as 1/2 gallon of storage per cfm output. Other manufacturers require a minimum of 2 gallons of storage per cfm output.
- The VST compressor is the most efficient compressor you will purchase. The VST is comprised of two independent compressors and drive systems. The first stage is designed for greater volume at lower pressure while the second stage is designed for the most efficient compression ratio. The AirSmart™ controller monitors your system demand in real time and controls the speed of both stages of compression, exactly matching the required demand while using no more energy than is needed to meet the demand.
The VST Series™ saves time, saves money, maximizes plant productivity - It's like having several efficient compressors in one. Smart!

Designed for Reliability
We used a "clean sheet of paper" design approach, with all components carefully selected and tested for their specific performance and purpose.
The VST Series™ design incorporates stepped-injection technology. This allows the AirSmart™ controller to maintain the discharge temperature of the compressor above the dew point to prevent condensate from forming in the lubricant. Smart!
Gardner Denver™ designed the first and second stage compressors as independent compressors and drives. This choice allows the AirSmart™ controller to synchronize the second stage compressor speed to the exact needs of the first stage - optimizing the input power of the package. The result is the most efficient supply of compressed air to your system demand at the lowest possible energy cost. Reliability and efficiency have been designed into each component in this system to assure you maximum performance and dependability.
A Warranty Like No Other
In simple terms, VST Series™ compressors have a best-in-class warranty. A five-year warranty is available for the drive motor, airend, variable frequency drive, controller and more. With regular lubricant sampling and use of OEM parts & lubricant you are guaranteed to have a compressor that exceeds your reliability expectations.

Simplicity
The AirSmart™ Controller was designed to make the operator interface with the variable speed drive transparent. You don't need to be an expert on variable speed drives to operate our compressor. The controller takes care of the details.
The controller automatically adjusts the compressor's performance to meet your changing air system demands - saving you energy dollars.
Changing the discharge pressure is as easy as pressing a button. No longer is there a need for a new machine when your pressure demands change.
Communication and Sequencing
The optional communication module allows the VST Series™ units to talk to each other and other Gardner Denver™ compressors to optimize system efficiency. This isn't just an hour-balancing, on/off sequencing scheme. Our controller allows the system to truly optimize efficiency because it knows the capabilities of other machines and orchestrates their operation.
The communication module also allows remote monitoring of the VST units.
Advanced Display
The controller has a four line display with menus and tactile buttons for easy navigation. Two lines display operating information such as pressure, temperature, operating hours, etc., while the other two lines display advisory messages, shutdown messages, recommended part numbers, and service contact information.
