HydroAir
Ultra-efficient, oil-free air compressor.
Compressed air accounts for ~12% of the electricity consumption in the industry. Traditional air compressors are relatively inefficient machines.
As air is compressed, its temperature rises. Compressing warm air requires more energy, and the air must be cooled after compression stages and before usage.
HydroAir is currently targeting high pressure (25-40 bar) oil-free applications.
The HydroAir System
HydroAir delivers isothermal compression by utilizing a slow underground liquid piston process. Throughout the compression process there’s constant heat exchange between the compressed air, water, and the earth.
HydroAir includes Augwind’ s proprietary air buffer, allowing the pumps to operate near their best efficiency point while delivering variable flows based on customer’s demand.
Key Advantages:
Around 25% less electricity consumed compared to best-in-class compressors.
Pure Oil free: no oil is used in the compressor process, lubrication or cooling process.
Compatible with sterile applications, such as pharma, food and beverage, semiconductors and so.
No cooling water is required, as opposed to equivalent compressors. This results in greater energy savings and eliminates the need for water treatment.
Significant reduction of the environmental impact.
All components are standard industrial components (mainly water pumps, pipes, valves and frequency convertors) except for Augwinds underground receivers that are installed successfully in dozens of companies in Israel and Europe.
The HydroAir isothermal process maintains air temperature constant throughout the compression and reduces heat related energy losses.
