🌬️ HV 11 – 22 Series Rotary Vane Compressors (Hydrovane)
These are hydraulically‑lubricated rotary vane compressors designed for reliable industrial air supply with low noise, durable construction, and simple maintenance.
đź”§ General Features
Type: Rotary vane positive displacement compressors
Design: Enclosed, floor‑mounted package for quiet operation and small footprint
Drive: Slow speed direct drive (no belts or gears) — reduces vibration and wear
Noise: Low sound levels (as low as ~66–71 dB(A))
Air Quality: Clean, dry, pulse‑free output directly from the compressor
Monitoring: Equipped with remote monitoring (iConn) on many models
Options: Available with integrated air dryer and air receiver packages
Speed Options: Fixed speed and Regulated Speed (RS) variants available (RS matches output to actual air demand)
📊 Performance Specs (Typical)
Model Series Motor Power Working Pressure Air Flow (FAD) Approx. Noise
HV11 11 kW 6–10 bar ~1.37–1.74 m³/min (~49–62 cfm) ~69 dB(A)
HV22 22 kW 8–10 bar ~2.96–3.60 m³/min (~105–127 cfm) ~71 dB(A)
Note: Specific output varies by pressure and model configuration (e.g., RS vs fixed speed).
⚙️ Technology Highlights
Rotary Vane Principle
A rotor with sliding vanes rotates eccentrically inside a cylinder.
As the rotor turns, the vanes create variable‑volume chambers that trap and compress air.
Oil is injected to seal chambers and control heat, producing smooth, steady compressed air.
Fewer moving parts means easier maintenance and high reliability.
Slow Direct Drive
Lower RPM (typically ~1450–1800 rpm) reduces noise and stress, helping these units achieve long service life with minimal wear.
🛠️ Variants & Options
Fixed Speed Units: Operate at constant motor speed; good for stable air demand.
Regulated Speed (RS): Adjusts output to match actual air usage for better energy efficiency.
Package Options: Integrated dryers, filters, and receivers available to provide ready‑to‑use systems.
📌 Typical Applications
These compressors are suitable for applications such as:
Manufacturing & machining
