The integration of the suction filter and coupling housing greatly simplify assembly of the package. The outstanding energy-efficiency of these compressors is based on the infinitely adjustable capacity combined with the extended variable Vi-range (internal volume ratio). The variable speed from 1,000 to 6,000 rpm ensures a wide operation range and maximum efficiency in full and part load.

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
