Rotary Vane Compressors – HV 01–04 Series (Overview)
The HV 01–04 Series Rotary Vane Compressors (commonly from Hydrovane / CompAir) are small, compact air compressors designed mainly for light industrial and workshop applications. These units are widely used where compressed air is needed close to the point of use.
🔧 Key Features
Compact & space-saving design – easy to install near machines
Quiet operation – around 62 dB(A) (low noise level)
Direct drive system – no belts or gears → less maintenance
Slow-speed operation (1450–2800 rpm) → longer life & reliability
Continuous duty capability – smooth, pulse-free air output
Simple controls with built-in protection (e.g., over-temperature)
Integrated packages available (with dryers, receivers, filters)
⚙️ Technical Specifications (Typical Range)
Parameter HV 01–04 Series
Power 1.1 – 4 kW (≈1.5–5 HP)
Pressure Up to 10 bar (145 psi)
Air Flow (FAD) ~0.1 – 0.6 m³/min (4–20 CFM)
Noise Level ~62 dB(A)
Mounting Options Base-mounted / Receiver-mounted / Portable
🧠 Working Principle (Rotary Vane)
A rotary vane compressor works on a positive displacement principle:
Air enters through the intake.
A rotor with sliding vanes traps air between rotor and casing.
The volume decreases as the rotor turns → air gets compressed.
Oil is injected for cooling, sealing, and lubrication.
Compressed air exits smoothly with minimal pulsation.
This results in stable airflow, low vibration, and high reliability.
🏭 Typical Applications
HV 01–04 compressors are ideal for:
Small workshops
Pneumatic tools
Machine tools
Printing & packaging equipment
Laboratories
OEM installations
✅ Advantages
Low noise compared to piston compressors
Fewer moving parts → reduced maintenance
Long service life (often 100, 000+ hours)
Clean, pulse-free air output
Compact and easy to install
📌 Summary
The HV 01–04 Series rotary vane compressors are compact, quiet, and reliable solutions for low to medium compressed air demands. They are especially useful in environments where space, noise, and ease of maintenance are critical.
