π Overview: HV 11-22 Series Rotary Vane Compressors
These compressors are oil-injected rotary vane machines, engineered for continuous industrial operation with a focus on reliability, quiet performance, and high-quality compressed air delivery.
π οΈ Key Features & Highlights
Power Range: 11 kW up to 22 kW (approx. 15 HP to 30 HP) β ideal for medium-duty industrial applications.
Pressure Output: Typically 6 β 10 bar (some regions specify 8 β 10 bar).
Air Delivery: ~1.37 β 3.60 mΒ³/min (β48.4 β 127 cfm).
Design: Enclosed, floor-mounted package with a small footprint and low noise levels (as low as ~66 dB(A)) β suitable for installation close to the point of use.
Direct Drive: Rotor directly driven (no gears or belts) means simpler mechanics, lower maintenance and long life.
Slow Running: Operates at slow speeds (e.g., ~1450β1760 rpm), reducing wear and extending service life.
Air Quality: Produces clean, dry, pulse-free air straight from the compressor, minimizing downstream equipment needs.
Package Options: Available with integrated air dryers and receivers, and regulated speed (RS) versions to match output with demand and enhance energy efficiency.
iConn Monitoring: Many models include remote monitoring systems for performance tracking and diagnostics.
π How Rotary Vane Technology Works
Instead of using pistons, the compressor uses a rotor with sliding vanes inside a cylindrical stator. As the rotor turns, the vanes trap and compress air in shrinking chambers. Oil injection helps seal and cool the compression process. This design results in:
Fewer moving parts β higher reliability
Smooth airflow with low pulsation
Lower noise and vibration levels
Easier maintenance vs piston compressors
π Typical Applications
These compressors are well-suited for industries that require consistent, high-quality compressed air, such as:
Manufacturing & assembly lines
Pneumatics and automation
Machine tool operations
Packaging & printing
Workshops and service centers
Laboratories
π Summary
The HV 11-22 Series rotary vane compressors combine robust industrial performance, quiet operation, and straightforward maintenance, making them a solid choice for many medium-scale compressed air applications. Theyβre delivered as complete packages with options for dryers, receivers, and smart controllers to optimize efficiency and uptime.
