Advanced Monitoring, Control & Connectivity
Whether you call it Industry 4.0 or the Internet of Things (IoT), interconnectivity is the future.
The GA 7-37 VSD+ comes fully prepared. Its advanced monitoring, control and connectivity features allow you to optimize compressor performance, resources, efficiency and productivity.
CONNECT SMARTLINK* : Data Monitoring Program
● Remote monitoring that helps you optimize your compressed
air system and save energy and costs.
● Provides a complete insight in your compressed air network.
● Anticipates potential problems by warning you upfront.
Options
● Energy recovery
● Dryer bypass
● Main switch
● Freeze protection
● Heavy duty inlet filter
● Pre-filter
● Tropical thermostat
● IT ancillaries
● DD+ filter
● FoodGrade oil
● UvD+ filter
● Roto Synthetic Xtend oil
● EQ2i, EQ4i, EQ6i
● Unit performance measured according ISO 1217 ed. 4 2009, annex E, latest edition.
● Mean noise level measured at a distance of 1 m at max. working pressure according to ISO 2151: 2004 using ISO 9614/2
(sound intensity method); tolerance 3 dB(A).
● L = larger drive train. This model is part of a different series with different specifications and additional benefits:
● more energy savings, higher FAD, and a lower noise level.
FAD is measured at the following effective working pressures:
● 4 bar(e) (GA 18-37LVSD+)
● 5.5 bar(e) (GA 7-15 VSD+)
● 7 bar(e)
● 9.5 bar(e)
● 12.5 bar(e)
Maximum working pressure:
● 13 bar(e) (188 psig)
Reference conditions:
● Absolute inlet pressure 1 bar (14.5 psi).
● Intake air temperature 20°C/68°F.
