Oil-free Scroll Compressors SF 1-22 (1.5-22 kW/2-30 hp)

ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 Atlas Copco sets a new industry standard

When it comes to clean, oil-free compressed air for your critical processes, you cant afford to compromise. Whether your activities are in pharmaceutical production, food processing, critical electronics or a similarly exacting industry, it is essential to eliminate risk. Atlas Copco, a pioneer in oil-free air technology, is known for its range of compressors designed especially for applications that require pure, oil-free air. Now Atlas Copco has achieved a new milestone: setting the standard for air purity as the rst manufacturer to be certied ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0.

WHY A NEW CLASS?

To address the needs of critical applications where air purity is essential, the ISO 8573-1 compressed air standard was revised in 2001. Along with a more comprehensive measuring methodology, a new and more stringent class was added to the ve existing purity classes: ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0.

CLASS

Concentration total oil (aerosol, liquid, vapor) mg/m3 As specied by the equipment user or supplier and more stringent than class 1

FIRST TO ACHIEVE ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0

As the industry leader committed to meeting the needs of the most demanding customers, Atlas Copco requested the renowned TV institute to type-test its SF range of oil-free scroll compressors. Using the most rigorous testing methodologies available, all possible oil forms were measured across a range of temperatures and pressures. The TV found no traces of oil at all in the output air stream. Thus Atlas Copco not only became the rst compressor manufacturer to receive CLASS 0 certication, but also exceeded ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0 specications.

THE MOST STRINGENT AIR PURITY TESTING AVAILABLE

Aerosols Minute droplets of oil suspended in the air stream Wall ow Oil in liquid form, which creeps along the pipe wall Vapors or oil mist Vaporized oil in a cloud form

Most manufacturers prefer partial ow testing, which targets only the center of the air ow. The Atlas Copco range of oil-free compressors was tested using the more stringent full ow

method. This examines the entire air ow to measure aerosols, vapors and wall ow. Even with such rigorous testing, no traces of oil were found in the output air stream.

Innovation in action
Air compression is achieved by the interaction of a xed and an orbiting scroll. Air at inlet pressure enters the compression chamber at the exterior side of the scroll element. Once air is drawn in, the orbiting scroll seals off the inlet port. As the scroll continues to orbit, the air is progressively compressed into an increasingly smaller pocket. A continuous ow of compressed air leaves the scroll element through a discharge port in the center of the fixed scroll. This process is continuously repeated, resulting in the delivery of pulse-free compressed air.
