TurboScrew Technology

CompAir's TurboScrew compression system is a radical new approach to energy conservation. It uses a Cummins turbo assisted engine powering a CompAir screw compressor unit with the addition of an engine exhaust gas drive turbine, pre-compressing the suction inlet air before it enters the compression chamber.

Using the TurboScrew technology, the engine delivers approximately 14% more energy to the compressor than conventional technologies.

The Electronic Controlled Bi-Turbo Cummins Diesel Engine

The water-cooled QSB 6.7 engine range from CUMMINS, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of diesel engines, are available as a 6 cylinder turbo-charged engine providing 180kW or 228KW, with a good reserve of power.

The engine powers a CompAir screw compressor unit with the addition of an engine exhaust gas driven turbine, pre-compressing the inlet air prior to it entering the compression chamber.

  • Reliable, long lifetime.
  • Economic, quiet and environmentally friendly.
  • Very good cold starting ability.
  • 24V electric system.

Potential Fuel Savings

Based on average site running conditions, over lifetime of 10,000 hours, fuel savings of up to 30% can be achieved when compared with equivalent conventional compressors of this output range. This represents up to 20% of total lifetime costs.

Your benefit: significant cost savings!

Fuel Savings

Small footprint & one of the lightest in class

The lightweight TurboScrew compressors can be towed by a large 4x4 vehicle with a maximum towing weight of 3500kg and is great for getting to hard-to-access sites.
