Ingersoll Rand Centac 800 centrifugal compressor

The Centac C800 compressor is built on Ingersoll Rand’s latest generation technology: an integrated and simplified centrifugal compressor platform. The model is an extension of the Centac C1000 product line. Providing 100% clean, oil-free air, the C800 has been certified as ISO 8573-1 Class 0 and is designed to minimise downtime and lower the total cost of ownership.

The Centac C800 reduces energy use by up to 6% at full load, significantly reducing overall ownership costs, while the unit’s backward-leaning impellers were designed using computational fluid dynamics to maximise peak efficiency and provide greater turndown. In addition, inlet guide vanes (IGVs) are standard on the C800, delivering up to 10% additional energy savings at partial load.

Preventive service and maintenance tasks have become easier with the C800 air compressor, with a one-piece removable inducer, in-place roddable coolers, bull gear inspection ports and an open cooler casing which offer increased access to critical components. The fully configured C800 compressor package also provides for efficient installation, with no special foundation or grouting required. The single inlet and outlet connections for cooling water also reduce installation time and cost.

The web-enabled Xe-Series controller enhances productivity and enables plant and operations managers to remotely access and adjust the system. It presents real-time monitoring and trending of critical components, making it easy to predict maintenance needs and correct operating parameters from smartphones, tablets and personal computers.
