Economic and Ecologic Efficiency
  • Compressor life meeting and exceeding vehicle life
  • Less downtime and increased vehicle life cycle reliability.
  • Lower maintenance costs 
  • OVERALL TOTAL LIFETIME COST REDUCTION
  • Compact, integrated air ends include separator systems.

  • Almost no oil carry over combined with low discharge temperatures means less pollution and increased downstream component life
  • Reduced indirect costs including maintenance and operation

Pre-packaged, custom engineered air compressor modules for the air braking, transportation industry. These units are specifically designed to be placed in space restrictive areas commonly found in hybrid buses, trolleys and locomotive applications. Ingersoll Rand and P.C. McKenzie Company have partnered to provide economical air compression solutions that are more efficient and more reliable.

Rotary air compressors are positive displacement compressors. The most common rotary air compressor is the single stage helical or spiral lobe oil flooded screw air compressor. These compressors consist of two rotors within a casing where the rotors compress the air internally. There are no valves. 

Air enters a sealed chamber where it is trapped between two rotating rotors and the housing. As the rotors intermesh, they reduce the volume of trapped air and deliver it compressed to the proper pressure level. This simple compression concept, with oil injected compression, allows the rotary screw air compressor to operate with temperatures approximately one half that generated by a reciprocating compressor. This lower temperature enables the rotary screw air compressor to operate in a "fully loaded" continuous duty cycle 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, if necessary. 


Because of the simple design and few wearing parts, rotary screw air compressors are easy to maintain, operate and provide great installation flexibility. Rotary screw air compressors can be integrated into modular packages for transportation air braking applications. 

MAJOR ADVANTAGE:

  • No downstream oil contamination.
  • Full flow capacity independent of engine RPM

    Other advantages include -
  • Designed to provide pulsation-free air
  • 100% continuous duty 
  • Quiet operation
  • Energy efficient at full load
  • Extended service intervals
  • Reliable long life
  • Improved air quality
  • Low discharge temperatures

    The heart of these systems is the Ingersoll Rand Rotary Screw compression designs. Quieter than the old reciprocating designs, more reliable and very compact are just a few of the advantages.
