    The document compares Atlas Copco's ZR 90-160 VSD+ oil-free air compressor to their previous models and competitor KAESER's offering. Some key differences include: - The ZR uses separate permanent magnet motors for each stage that require rare earth materials and are more expensive to produce and maintain. - It uses a proprietary "Neos" frequency converter compared to standard Siemens parts in competitors' models. - Digital gearing is used for stage synchronization rather than central wheel gearing. - The layout positions the motors and blocks at a 90 degree angle rather than longitudinally like competitors, making separate removal difficult. - Service and maintenance requires working on two

    “New vs old”: Comparison ZR 90-160 VSD+

    • Separate permanent magnet motor for each compressor


    stage, water-cooled
     Unique in-house AC design: no alternative on market
     Use of rare earth materials: price instability, due to
    depedence on Chinese market
     Price increase factor up to 3 times
    https://www.atlascopco.com/de-de/compressors/products/Air-
    compressor/oil-free-air-compressors/oil-free-air-compressors-ZR-ZT

    • “Neos” frequency converter


     Proprietary AC construction
     Depedence on manufacturer (maintenance, parts)

    “New vs old”: Comparison ZR 90-160 VSD+

    • Digital gearing for stage synchronisation

     Speed adjustment dependent on discharge pressure


     Different compression ratios selectable
     Nonetheless, transmission gearing still required to achieve
    high block speeds
     “Dual” design: 2 x motors, 2x FCs, 2 x power transmissions

    GA design

    Service

    • Bearing relacement for the permanent magnet motors


    is difficult
     Special tools required
     Strong protection required due to extreme magnet strength
     On-site bearing replacement currently not recommended

    • Maintenance: 2 motors, 2 FCs and 2 transmissions


    need to be serviced
    Our advantages

    • Synchronous reluctance motor/ Asynchronous motor


     No rare earth materials used, hence price stability
     Possible to replace the motor bearings on-site without the need for special tools

    • Maintenance possible on-site by general technicians with appropriate technical


    training
     Uses freely available components
     Less dependence on the manufacturer
    Our advantages

    • Better maintenance accessibility

    • Modular design for B-Options: “Plug & Play”


     Integrated heat recovery, no separate “box”
     Integrated dessicant dryer, full flow regeneration

    • Designed for cooling water temperatures


    up to + 50 °C
    Thank you for your attention!
    Supply difficulties?

    Example of a project from Germany:

    • The agreed delivery date of a ZR 90 VSD + was in December 2018


    • Atlas Copco moved the delivery date for the second time:
     1 st: Middle of March
     2 nd: Middle of May
     Explanatory statement: technical problems
