When considering productivity increases, it's important to think about how much energy a compressor uses, since that makes up more than 85% of its total life cycle cost.
The KRSP2 Series is engineered with advanced energy-saving technologies that dramatically lower operating costs while delivering consistent, reliable performance.
The KRSP2 series is thoughtfully engineered. With a very clear separation between hot and cold zones inside the compressor package, it definitely has some advantages.
This type of uniquely smart layout boosts the efficiency and longevity of key components like the air-oil separator, lubricant, and air-end.
By keeping hot and cold airflows separate, it ensures optimal performance and prevents unnecessary strain on the system.
Heavy-duty isolators reduce wear and tear and the ever-advanced cooling features help maintain ideal operating temperatures...therefore protecting the system from overheating.
And moreover, when it’s time for maintenance, the easily accessible design keeps service quick and downtime minimal.
The KRSP2 uses a screw element with triplex discharge bearings.
These last longer than regular dual bearings. That means more reliable performance and lower maintenance for years coming.
Bigger Rotors: Our compressors have larger air-ends and 5/6 lobe rotors. This helps move more air with less effort. The result -yes, lower energy use and smooth, quiet operation.
Less Air Loss: More rotor lobes mean smaller gaps between chambers. This reduces air leakage and improves overall efficiency.
Quiet, Steady, Efficient: A larger wrap angle and bigger discharge port reduce vibration and noise. They also lower pressure loss...this helps the compressor run more efficiently.
Looking for better performance and lower energy costs? Our two-stage screw compressors deliver just that. Unlike single-stage compressors, they don’t do all the heavy lifting at once. Instead, the compression is split across two stages with an inter-cooling system in between. This smart design cuts down on power consumption in a big way.
Here’s the math...
A typical single-stage compressor working at 72 psig has a compression ratio of 5:1. But a two-stage compressor? It breaks that into two steps, 2.23:1 in the first stage (the square root of 5). Less pressure per stage means less energy used.
But wait, the benefits don’t stop there:
Less internal air leakage. Lower pressure differences between stages reduce leakage and boost efficiency.
With the load divided between two stages, bearing stress drops to nearly one-third of what a single-stage compressor handles. That means extended air-end life and fewer breakdowns.
When it comes to energy efficiency, multi-stage compressors have a clear edge and here is exactly why.
By splitting the compression into two or more stages, with cooling in between, they reduce the overall work required, and that means lower power consumption.
How it works..
After the air is compressed in the first stage, it passes through an intercooler. This removes the heat before it enters the next stage. Cooler air needs less energy to compress, so your system runs more efficiently and stays cooler too.
The result?
So, if you really want long-term savings and smoother operation, then go multi-stage.
