GA 55 Premium Compressor
VSD: Driving down your energy costs
Over 80% of a compressor’s lifecycle cost is taken up by the energy
it consumes. Moreover, the generation of compressed air can account
for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. To cut your
energy costs, Atlas pioneered Variable Speed Drive (VSD) technology
in the compressed air industry. VSD leads
to major energy savings, while protecting the environment for
future generations. Thanks to continual
investments in this technology, Atlas offers the widest range of
integrated VSD compressors on
the market.
Why Atlas Variable Speed Drive technology?
• On average 35% energy savings during fluctuations in production
demand with an extensive turndown range.
• Integrated Elektronikon Touch controller controls the motor speed
and high efficiency frequency inverter.
• No wasted idling times or blow-off losses in normal operation.
• Compressor can start/stop under full system pressure without the
need to unload with special VSD motor.
• Eliminates peak current penalty during start-up.
• Minimizes system leakage due to a lower system pressure.
• EMC Compliance to directives (2004/108/EG).
In almost every production environment, air demand fluctuates
depending on different factors such as the time of the day, week or
even month. Extensive measurements and studies of compressed air
demand profiles show that many compressors
have substantial variations in air demand. Only 8% of all
installations have a more stable air demand.
• High performance Free Air Delivery.
• Premium quality at the lowest initial investment.
• Integrated refrigerant dryer.
• Standard Elektronikon ® controller (optional Touch controller).

installing the optional integrated compressor controller.
Why dry your compressed air?
Untreated compressed air contains moisture, aerosols and dirt
particles that can damage your air system and contaminate your end
product, resulting in risk of corrosion and compressed air system
leaks. Maintenance costs can far exceed air treatment costs. An air
dryer is therefore essential to protect your systems and processes.
The GA, GA+ and GA VSD compressors have an integrated dryer option
to secure your peace of mind.
Integrated dry air
• Optimized sizing for the compressor, avoiding excessive energy
consumption. • Fit for your application.
• Controlled and monitored by the Elektronikon®.
• Space-saving all-in-one solution with low installation costs.
Integrated purity
The optional UD+ filter and integrated refrigerant air dryer
(IFD) efficiently remove moisture, aerosols and dirt particles to
protect your investment. The UD+ filter has a 40% lower pressure
drop than the conventional DD+/PD+ filter
