Fix Speed Compressor

A fixed-speed air compressor operates by supplying a consistent — or fixed — voltage and frequency to its motor,Compressing air can account for more than 40% of a plant’s total electricity bill. See more on how our VSD technology compares to fixed speedVariable speed drive versus fixed speedAs the name suggests, a fixed speed air compressor operates at the same speed whenever it’s running. By design, it always draws the amount of power needed to meet the maximum compressed air demand, even if demand is less than maximum. Because the speed of the motor can’t change, whenever the demand for air changes, an air inlet valve adjusts to allow either more or less air to flow out.In contrast, a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) air compressor can operate anywhere in the range between its minimum and maximum speed, and it automatically adjusts the speed so production of compressed air matches demand in real time. When demand increases, the motor speeds up. When demand dec
