Atlas Copco Stationary Air CompressorsGA30-90C WorkPlace Air SystemTM30-90kW/40-125HP oil-injected rotary screw compressors
Introducing the WorkPlace Air System
The corner stones of the WorkPlace concept
Low noise
The noise level of the WorkPlace Air SystemTM is little more than that of a sewing machine
thanks to advanced design techniques and modern materials and components.
Outstanding performance
The WorkPlace Air SystemTM combines the most coveted screw element design with the most
advanced control system, resulting in more air for less power.
Complete integration
Both air treatment and condensate management equipment can be fully integrated into the
compressor canopy, reducing space and simplifying installation work.
Best customer choice
The WorkPlace Air SystemTM is available from 7.5-125hp, as either air or water cooled with a
wide range of operating pressure between 60-188 psig to meet any customer requirement.
Atlas Copco's unique WorkPlace Air SystemTM
delivers unrivalled user value. The WorkPlace Air
SystemTM allows the compressor to be moved out of
the compressor room and installed directly at the point
of use.
The dramatically low noise level eliminates the need
for a separate compressor room, while the integration of
all necessary air treatment and condensate management
equipment significantly reduces the required
installation area.
The only compressed air system that can be placed anywhere
Total system control and monitoring
The unique Atlas Copco Elektronikon control system not only optimizes the running of the
compressor, the air treatment and the condensate management equipment, but it also allows
total remote monitoring, control and protection.
Faster, less expensive and easier installation
The cost and complexity of the installation is minimized by integrating all necessary air and
condensate treatment equipment. This integration also eliminates the interconnecting piping
and dramatically reduces the footprint of the whole installation.
Reduced running costs
Atlas Copco GA VSD compressors offer even further opportunities to reduce the energy cost of
operating an air compressor. Most production facilities show an air demand profile with wide
fluctuations that traditional compressor regulation systems can not follow in an energy efficient
manner. A GA VSD compressor is able to follow fluctuations in demand efficiently by varying
the speed of the drive motor to perfectly match the compressor's output to the varying plant
demand. Energy savings with GA VSD compressors of up to 35% are not uncommon over
traditionally regulated compressors. In addition, the integration of air treatment equipment
reduces costly pressure drops and risks of leaks which often account for 10% of the total
compressed air consumption.
Outstanding reliability
The complete WorkPlace Air SystemTM range is designed, manufactured and tested in
accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 1217 ed. 3 annex C respectively. Each and every
unit is tested before leaving the factory, ensuring that the high expectations of today's industry
are not just met, but exceeded.
Reduced maintenance costs
The WorkPlace Air System is designed with maintenance costs in mind. Long service intervals
combined with a mechanical friendly layout, ensure low costs and minimal down time.

Total Air System ControlElektronikon - The superior choice
Atlas Copcos patented Elektronikon is an advanced
microprocessor based, real time operating system, which
allows comprehensive control and monitoring, through a
clear and simple user interface.
Total air system control
Elektronikon goes beyond the traditional boundaries of
a compressor controller. Signals from related equipment, such as
coolers, filters or dryers can be sent back to the Elektronikon,
which can then be configured to display readings or even take
certain actions based on the incoming signal.
A full complement of digital input and output signals facilitates
simple remote control.
Built in multi-compressor sequencer
Each Elektronikon has the unique MCC, Multiple Compressor
Control, built in. MCC efficiently coordinates individual regulators in
a multiple compressor installation.
The MCC reduces the system operating pressure, increases the
pressure stability and optimises the maintenance schedule.
All this results in considerable savings on the operation of your
compressed air plant.
Complete remote monitoring and interface
If remote monitoring is required, there is no better alternative.
With the addition of one ComBox, an Elektronikon installation
can be accessed directly from a PC or via an existing building
management system, using a choice of protocols.
Through participation in our various AirMonitor services,
an Atlas Copco compressed air system can be monitored
over the Internet.
Integrated service scheduler
Elektronikon closely monitors the compressors, taking notice of
the run hours, both loaded and unloaded, as well as the status and
performance of certain crucial parts. Based on this information,
the optimum time for preventative maintenance is calculated and
displayed on the screen, ensuring continuous, smooth and trouble-
free operation of the unit.
Full equipment management and protection
Elektronikon provides total control and complete protection of the
machine. Continuous and extensive monitoring ensures that the
operating efficiency is maximized at all times.

A complete compressed air solution contained in a single package
The high cost of low quality air
When the air that surrounds us is
compressed, its vapor and particle
concentration increases dramatically.
The compression process causes the oil and water vapors
to condense into droplets, and then mix with the high
concentration of particles. The resulting mixture is an
abrasive, oily sludge that in many cases is also acidic.
Without air treatment equipment, much of this corrosive
sludge will enter the air net, corroding the pipe work,
damaging pneumatic tools and potentially compromising
final product quality.
The quality air solution
The WorkPlace Full FeatureTM machine offers a unique air
treatment solution. In addition to the compressor, all air
treatment and condensate management equipment can be
integrated into the compressor canopy, ensuring that your
compressed air supply is both clean and dry. Aside from
providing clean, dry, compressed air, the Full Feature
machine offers a more optimized, quiet and space saving
package, which is fast, easy and less expensive to install.
When quality air is required, there is no better choice
than a WorkPlace Full FeatureTM machine.
Individual applications require individual solutions
An integrated heatless desiccant dryer, complete with
filtration, provides process quality air for the most
demanding applications. Complete with dewpoint
dependant switching control as standard, the units are
extremely energy efficient, ensuring maximum air for
minimum power.
Condensate quality must meet legal measurements.
The optional OSD oil-water separator raises the
condensate quality to surpass legal requirements, so
there is no need to worry about discharging oil
contaminated condensate.
Integrated filtration removes both particles and oil from
the air, eliminating the risk of damage to equipment and
contamination of the final product.
The integration of a refrigerant dryer eliminates virtually
all water from the system and prevents corrosion in pipes,
tools and instruments.
