Ingersoll Rand adds Xe-Series Control to R90-160 Rotary Screw Air Compressors; Xe-Series controllers help reduce plant’s operating costs.
Ingersoll Rand, a global leader in compressed air systems and industrial tools and equipment, now features Xe-Series Rotary Compressor Control technology on the R90-160ne Nirvana VSD Premium Efficiency and R90-160n Nirvana VSD Efficiency rotary screw air compressors to optimize plant efficiency. The Xe-Series control is a more convenient and reliable monitoring system that provides a window into all vital compressor data. The Xe-Series controller debuted last year on the Ingersoll Rand R55-75ne Nirvana VSD Premium Efficiency and R55-75n Nirvana VSD Efficiency rotary screw air compressors and is now available on the larger systems.
The Xe-Series has an easy-to-read, high-resolution color display, an intuitive menu layout and large navigation buttons to make the system user friendly. High-intensity LED indicators clearly show the compressor’s status from a distance and a real-time clock enables operators to program start and stop schedules to help reduce plant’s operating costs. The controller also provides a performance analysis, graphics and visual trending information so controllers can track system efficiency.
“The Web-enabled access allows operators to monitor vital system data and adjust the compressor from remote locations using the Internet browser on their PCs, tablets and smartphones,” said Vipul Mistry, marketing manager for Ingersoll Rand. “Users can rely upon automatic email notifications to alert them if a trip occurs, so they can address the issue quickly.”
The Ingersoll Rand R90-160ne Nirvana VSD Premium Efficiency and R90-160n Nirvana VSD Efficiency rotary screw air compressors run on 125 to 200 horsepower and maximize energy savings through the use of their exclusive Hybrid Permanent Magnet Motor™ (HPM). The HPM motor can perform unlimited starts/stops, constant pressure control and starting amps below full load to provide unmatched efficiency. The Xe-Series controller can be retrofitted onto systems currently using Ingersoll Rand R90-160ne and R90-160n compressors.
