Whizkid - IQ saves for you



Once upon a time

There was a time when all air comressors delivered air according to their own capacity. The supply remained constant. But the demand would always fluctuate. Depending on the time of the day, the number and kind of machines active on the shopfloor, the demand for various kinds of operations, the day of the week. Depending, in short, on a huge number of variables, the demand for compressed air would always fluctuate.

There was a time, however, when air compressors could not alter output to match this fluctuating demand.

And then,in 1994,
                          all of that changed forever!

Atlas Copco introduced the concept of Variable Speed Drive (VSD) - a core design technology that would enable the air compressor to intelligently match supply to demand! Today, Atlas Copco gives customers what nobody else can offer - the widest range of intelligent air compressors, ranging from 7 Kw to 900 Kw!

The Whizkid arrives

The Whizkid is Intelligent by design! It comes to you with Dedicated VSD Design - It is not simply an add-on Inverter GA VSD - a core technology with VSD specific design. Machines are designed for high efficiency, hence are marked as η-drive Perfect match of Latest Siemens Drive and energy efficient, inverter duty Siemens Motor A perfect combination of electro-mechanical design,to avoid speed windows & mechanical resonance Electronic Gearing-Pressure from 4 to 13 bar can be changed on the Elektronikon panel

And who is the biggest beneficiary of the Whizkid's intelligence?
YOU! For with the Whizkid you receive extremely quick responses, the perfect match between air delivery and air demand which means almost no wastage, very good operating flexibility since it offers large turndown - upto 80% of its capacity and very good pressure flexibility too - from 4 to 13 Bar (g) without change of gears or belts!

	The Elektronikon continuously monitors critical parameters. Monitoring features include service and warning indications, error detection, compressor shut-down and maintenance scheduling.

		The Whizkid is silent! The Silent Workplace Air System™ of the Whizkid comes to you with: Low noise radial fan Option of integrated dryer and filters Vibro acoustic optimzed design And what does that mean for you??? It means you can place the whizkid close to the point of use due to extremely low noise levels. It means that with the integrated dryer it has a very compact footprint. It means fast, easy and economic installation and an average 10% savings because of reduced installation costs, reduced leakage, and reduced pressure drop!

Comparing compressed air solutions

As opposed to traditional compressor set-ups, Atlas Copco's GA WorkPlace Air System™ compressors effortlessly fit onto your work floor. Designed to give the most efficient source of compressed air within a production environment, they provide you with an all-in-one package that will have your production running smoothly for years to come and offers an entire range of advantages form lower installation costs to reduced energy costs.

High pressure drop across the system External filtration equipment/dryer Elaborate and costly piping system Multiple connections and air leaks Multiple monitoring points	Limited internal system pressure drop Integrated air and condensate treatment equipment Reduced piping costs Single point connections Single point monitoring

IQ really does save for you!

The Whizkid is a Smart Power Saver And this is how it saves for you: Power consumption in proportion to air demand Very precise pressure control within +/-0.1 Bar No unloading operation Unlimited number of motor starts With the Whizkid you can achieve revolutionary energy savings up to 35%! The reduced pressure band ensures constant pressure and power savings. You also save on wasteful unloading power consumption. Whizkid also operates with a large turndown which offers you flexibility of operation and power saving at lower loads.

Driving down energy costs

Energy can represent over 70% of a compressor's lifecycle costs (LCC). Generating compressed air can account for more than 40% of a plant's total electricity bill. Most production environments have a fluctuating air demand depending on the time of day, week, or even months per year. With Atlas Copco's VSD (Variable Speed Drive) technology mirroring compressed air requirements, fluctuating demand no longer equals energy costs.

With the Whizkid, you will never have any maintenance problems... ...because it has been designed to be trouble free! Simplified mechanical layout No torque peaks Inverter duty motor No unloader Consumables change interval is longer In the Whizkid, thus,you get a low maintenace machine due to less number of parts, and a machine with long lifetime of moving parts because of the super soft start.

The Whizkid at work

The Whizkid is EMC Compliant And this is why: No harmonic distortion No influence with surrounding equipment Harmful harmonic interference is not an issue with GA-VSD Entire package is independently certified The Whizkid, thus, will not generate interference to nearby equipments. A fallout of this is that it allows you a great deal of flexibility in machine installation and that in turn allows you significant cost savings!

	The Whizkid has outstanding electrical characteristics The machine maintains high and constant power factor No starting current peaks due to soft VSD start With this highly intelligent electrical manager you are no longer at risk of being penalized by the electricity company.You also significantly reduce your investment in the electrical system.
