The document summarizes a presentation on frictionless compressor technology. Frictionless compressors use magnetic bearings instead of roller or hydrodynamic bearings, requiring no lubrication system. They are smaller, lighter, and more efficient than conventional compressors due to their oil-free and permanent magnet synchronous motor design. While initial prices are 50-70% higher, magnetic bearing compressors provide long-term benefits like reduced maintenance costs, easier installation, lower sound levels, and increased energy efficiency over traditional compressor technologies.

Introduction

The frictionless compressor technology is


compressor with the application of
magnetic bearings and permanent magnet
synchronous motor.
In frictionless compressor instead of roller
bearings and hydrodynamic bearings,
magnetic bearings are used. Magnetic
bearings consume less power and there is
no need for oil and lubrication systems.
Permanent magnet brushless synchronous
motor has permanent magnet instead of
copper windings.

How are they different ?

They Are Different because:

Magnetic bearings.
Oil-free design.
VFD control.
Smaller and lighter than
conventional compressors.

Magnetic bearings

No friction. This can improve


energy efficiency by 2-4%.
Run at high speeds (up to
48,000 RPM) and give good
speed control.

Oil-free design

The biggest benefit to


eliminating oil from the
system is that it eliminates
the need for a lubrication
system,

VFD control

Variable Frequency Drive provides good


speed control, allowing the system to run
up to 48,000 RPM.

Smaller and lighter

Using permanent magnets in the


motor, rather than electrical
windings as in an induction motor,
reduces the size and weight
significantly.
They are one-fifth of the weight and
half the size of an equivalent
conventional compressor.

ADVANTAGE

Reduced maintenance costs.


Easier and quicker installation.
Sound level less than 70
decibel(dB).

DISADVANTAGE

Price is 50-70% more than


normal Compressor.

Conclusion

After 10 years of development,


magnetic-bearing compressors
offer economic, energy, and
environmental benefits. Chief
among them are increased
energy efficiency, the
elimination of oil and oil
management, and consider-ably
less weight, noise, and
