Atlas Copco Air Compressors
Atlas Copco GA18 VSD Air Compressor
PRODUCT PARAMETERS
Description
The GA18 VSD from Atlas Copco is designed to deliver stable compressed-air performance under variable operating loads. Its variable-speed drive adjusts motor speed precisely to match air demand, helping reduce unnecessary energy consumption during partial-load conditions. With an 18 kW motor and a maximum working pressure of 13 bar(g), the unit supports a broad range of industrial applications that require consistent and controllable airflow.
The air-cooled configuration simplifies installation and eliminates the need for cooling-water infrastructure. A compact footprint, floor-mounted layout, and balanced weight distribution facilitate placement in workshops or industrial environments with limited space. The MK5 Touch controller provides clear operational feedback, enabling users to monitor running conditions, adjust parameters, and plan service intervals with improved accuracy.
Performance stability is reinforced by the unit’s capability to maintain Free Air Delivery across a wide speed range—from low-output operation for light-demand phases to significantly higher output when the system requires full capacity. With a maximum inlet-temperature tolerance of 46 °C and ambient suitability starting at 0 °C, the GA18 VSD is engineered to operate reliably under typical industrial environmental conditions. Its combination of controllability, efficiency, and installation flexibility makes it a practical solution for continuous-duty compressed-air systems.
