FS-Curtis Presents GS Series Variable Speed Drive Air Compressors

FS-Curtis, a 154-year-old leader in the design and manufacture of industrial and automotive air compressors, recently introduced the GS Series, a new line of variable speed drive air compressors which are energy saving, environmentally friendly and economical.

a 154-year-old leader in the design and manufacture of industrial and
automotive air compressors, recently introduced the GS Series, a new
line of variable speed drive air compressors which are energy saving,
environmentally friendly and economical.

According to Jerry Elsen, director of sales & marketing, “The new
GS Series features FS-Curtis’ exclusive eCOOL Technology which
maximizes energy efficiency by providing improved cooling of the main
drive motor and other critical components.  These cooler operating
temperatures in turn, help to deliver better volumetric and electrical
efficiency.

Along with cooler operating temperatures and extended service life,
FS-Curtis’ exclusive eCOOL Technology delivers improved compression and
electrical efficiency for a smoother, more environmentally friendly
operation. In addition, the cooler operational temperature allows the
intake of cooler, denser air which increases the compression
efficiency, making our GS Series one of the most energy efficient,
economical and environmentally friendly air compressors on the market
today”.

Cooler airflow and shielding heat-sensitive components helps to reduce
thermal stress and provides up to fifty percent longer service life for
motors, electrical components and a thirty to fifty percent longer
service life for bearings, hoses and seals.

The lower operating temperatures of FS-Curtis’ GS Series helps to
provide better oil separation efficiency which leads to less residual
oil in the compressed air.  Washable cabinet filters pre-clean the
cooling and intake air to prevent contamination inside the air
compressor, which helps to maintain high cooling efficiency.

With fewer moving parts, FS-Curtis’ GS Series provides heavy-duty
performance with less vibration and noise.  Working with a compressor
that operates more quietly is a feature that is welcomed by FS-Curtis’
customers’ employees.

The Variable Speed Drive (VSD) allows FS-Curtis’ GS Series users to
match their energy usage to current system demands, helping to maximize
energy efficiency. Comparing the life cycle costs of owning a standard
air compressor with those of FS-Curtis’ GS Series with VSD allows the
user to see that the GS Series energy consumption is energy smart,
saving energy by meeting changing air demands, eliminating the need to
overpressure the system. The GS Series VSD compressors automatically
adjust to varying airflow demands. The GS Series soft starting
capability also reduces inrush current requirements, allowing unlimited
starts and stops of the motor without stressing it, or the customer’s
supply system.

The FS-Curtis directly coupled motor & air-end design (no gears or
belts), offers faster response and greater operational efficiency. 
Lower motor speeds help reduce noise levels and the GS Series’ ability
to match its operating speed with changes in demands helps the VSD
reduce wear and tear on equipment.  With Demand Smart technology, the
VSD enhances quality by stabilizing air pressure at 0.1 bar increments.
Automatic protective features with built-in harmonic filtration in the
drive protect the unit from low voltage, loss of a phase in power
supply, high temperature and high pressure. These built-in protective
features eliminate the need to source additional corrective devices.
Advance adaptive service advisors optimize the compressor and motor
service to reduce operating cost.

The optional integrated refrigerated dryer stabilizes the dew point for
better air quality, improves tool/equipment operation, and reduces
corrosion. The single point installation allows applications that
require better air quality and the environmentally friendly refrigerant
R134a increases efficiency and reduces global warming.

The FS-Curtis GS Series air compressor offers an industry leading Energy Smart 10-year air end warranty.
