BOGE has added to its its popular EO range of oil-free scroll compressors by adding two new compact models – the EO11D and EO16 – characterised by ‘whisper-quiet’ low sound pressure levels and oil-free Class 0 (ISO 8573-1)-compliant compression.
“Because of how quiet they are, EO compressors are perfect for applications such as laboratories or hospitals,” explained Mark Whitmore, general manager.
The new EO11D model has a motor rating of 11 kW (15HP) and – like all models in the EO series – is available in 8 and 10 bar versions. The 10 bar version has a measured sound level of just 65 dB. The ‘D’ designation signifies that the unit has an integrated refrigerant dryer.
The EO16 is a triple unit that offers high redundancy – and, BOGE explained, ‘therefore maximum flexibility and safety’. Its 915 x 1520 x 1460 mm footprint is identical to that of the duplex EO11 model, which has a rating of 16.5 kW, and a 65 db maximum noise level.
BOGE added: “Low wear and increased lifetime of the scroll air-end ensure that 8 bar models run for 20,000 hours (or eight years), while 10 bar versions last for 15,000 hours (six years).”
