Ingersoll Rand - Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor

Applications & Use Cases

• Providing compressed air for general industrial processes and pneumatic tools.
• Supplying air for manufacturing lines, assembly operations, and workshops.
• Used in automotive garages for tyre inflation, paint spraying, and impact wrenches.
• Supporting packaging machinery and material handling systems.
• Operating control systems and instrumentation in various industrial settings.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, units commonly offer free air delivery (FAD) in the range of 60-90 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at standard operating pressures.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.

Operating pressure

Commonly found operating pressures for screw compressors are between 7.5 and 10 bar (109-145 psi), with some models capable of higher pressures.

Motor power

An Ingersoll Rand IRN15K model typically indicates a motor power of approximately 15 kW (20 HP).

Integrated air treatment

The '-TAS' designation on this model typically indicates a Total Air System, which includes an integrated refrigerated dryer and filtration for clean, dry air.

Footprint

For this class of integrated screw compressor, the footprint is typically compact, designed to minimise space requirements in industrial settings.

Noise level

Modern screw compressors are generally designed for lower noise levels compared to older piston types, typically ranging from 65-75 dB(A).
