CompAir FourCore: The Future of Energy-Efficient Air Compression
In today’s industrial landscape, compressed air is an essential utility for manufacturing, processing, and countless other applications. However, energy efficiency, reliability, and operational costs remain key concerns for businesses that rely on compressed air systems. Traditional compressors often require significant energy input, and older models can lead to wasted power, increasing operational expenses.
This is where CompAir’s FourCore technology changes the game. The new L110FC to L290FC range offers a breakthrough in two-stage oil-lubricated screw compressors, delivering best-in-class efficiency with a space-saving design. With 8-10% lower energy consumption, a compact footprint, and advanced monitoring systems, FourCore compressors provide the perfect balance of power, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
In this article, we explore how CompAir FourCore is redefining compressed air efficiency and why it could be the ideal solution for your business.
What is FourCore Technology?
At the heart of the CompAir FourCore range is a revolutionary two-stage compression system that optimises energy use without increasing the machine's footprint. Unlike traditional two-stage compressors that require more space, FourCore integrates one motor and four rotors into a compact, semi-integrated casing.
This patented design allows users to benefit from the efficiency of a two-stage system while maintaining the same size as a single-stage compressor.
Key Technical Features:
- Power range: 110kW – 250kW
- Pressure range: 5 – 10 bar
- Volume flow: 9.16 – 47.9 m³/min
· Fixed and regulated speed (RS) models available
These compressors are designed for maximum energy savings and minimal maintenance, making them a highly cost-effective investment.
Why Choose CompAir FourCore?
1. Unmatched Energy Efficiency
Energy consumption is one of the most significant costs in compressed air systems. The CompAir FourCore range provides an efficiency improvement of 8-10% over traditional single-stage compressors, which can result in thousands of pounds in annual energy savings.
· Lower power usage per m³/min of compressed air output.
· Fast return on investment (ROI), often within a year.
· Reduced environmental impact through lower CO₂ emissions.
With businesses facing increasing energy costs and environmental pressures, choosing a compressor that optimises power use is a smart, sustainable decision.
2. Space-Saving, Compact Design
One of the major challenges with two-stage compressors has traditionally been their size. Many businesses hesitate to upgrade due to space limitations.
· The CompAir FourCore range eliminates this issue by delivering all the benefits of two-stage compression without increasing the machine's footprint.
· It fits in the same space as a single-stage unit, making it one of the most compact two-stage compressors available.
· This is especially useful for businesses with limited factory or workshop space, where every square meter counts.
3. Advanced Airend Technology for Maximum Reliability
The airend is the heart of any compressor, and CompAir’s premium efficiency airend is designed for durability, reliability, and low energy consumption.
· Slow-speed airend operation reduces energy usage while increasing performance.
· Integrated oil filter and regulation valve for fewer external components and lower maintenance requirements.
· Fail-safe shaft seal technology prevents leaks and ensures long-term reliability.
· 10-year (or up to 44,000 hours) warranty, providing peace of mind for businesses that require continuous operation.
4. Smart Monitoring & Control with iConn Technology
The CompAir FourCore range comes equipped with iConn, an advanced remote monitoring system that allows businesses to track compressor performance in real-time.
· Predictive analytics help prevent unexpected failures and reduce downtime.
· Real-time monitoring ensures optimal efficiency at all times.
· User-friendly Delcos XL touchscreen controller for easy adjustments and performance tracking.
With iConn, businesses can optimise energy use, lower maintenance costs, and prevent costly downtime by detecting issues before they arise.
5. Environmentally Sustainable Compressed Air
With growing awareness of corporate sustainability and carbon reduction, businesses must look for greener alternatives in their operations.
· CompAir FourCore compressors significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
· A 160kW FourCore compressor running 8,000 hours per year can cut CO₂ emissions by 134 tonnes annually – the equivalent of taking 29 cars off the road or planting 165 acres of forest.
· Regulated speed technology matches compressed air output to demand, further minimising energy waste.
By investing in FourCore technology, businesses can reduce their environmental impact while enjoying lower energy bills and improved efficiency.
