Atlas Copco GA 90 VSD

• For water-cooled units:
• The water inlet temperature of the energy recovery system.
• The water outlet temperature of the energy recovery system.
• The cooling water outlet temperature of the compressor.
Modifying settings
If the programmed warning settings for the water temperatures are exceeded, a warning indication is shown
on the compressor control module:

Recoverable energy
The recoverable energy can be calculated by using the following formula:
RECOVERED ENERGY (kW) = 4.2 x water flow (l/s) x water temperature rise (˚C)
In the tables below, typical examples are given, except for the recovered energy.
Consult Atlas Copco for specifications.
