Hydrovane has announced the launch of the regulated speed HV11RS, that automatically controls air output to meet exact air system requirements. Due to this energy saving feature, investment is typically paid back in only three years, depending on local energy prices. Bob Cheshire, managing director of Hydrovane, explains: “Our vertical approach allows us to directly couple the compressor and electric motor, reduce the footprint and reduce noise levels. This means the compressor can be comfortably sited right next to the point of use of the air, without a need for ear protection and the HV11RS is no exception. “The HV11RS is equipped with our reduced energy venting system (REVS) technology. REVS keeps off load power consumed to a minimum, allowing instant re-start at any pressure and offers a reduced load start.” An electronic controller operates the newest addition to the Hydrovane range. The illuminated control panel displays air pressure and compressor temperature and allows users to easily adjust operational settings. It also has a handy ‘service due’ indicator, which counts down to the next service date, based on the real usage of the machine. As ease of service was also a key feature of the design brief its hinged doors offers easy access to all serviceable compressor components. The new compressor is also available in three HYPAC versions: the ACER with receiver, the ACED with refrigerant dryer and filtration and AERD with receiver, refrigerant dryer and filtration, ensuring it meets a variety of application requirements.
