NXHE Series Two-Stage 90-260kW / 125-350HP

TWO-STAGE COMPRESSION: SETTING THE STANDARD FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Our most energy-efficient air compressor to date, the NXHE Series rotary screw compressors use patented two-stage airend technology to provide efficient operation with outstanding durability and offer the lowest life-cycle cost of any compressor on the market.

Description

TWO-STAGE 90-260kW / 125-350HP DIRECT ROTARY SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS

The FS-Curtis NXHE Series two-stage rotary screw air compressors are heavily relied upon in industry for their legendary reliability and highly energy efficient operation. NXHE splits the compression process into two stages and removes heat of compression in between. The result is less input horsepower required to generate the same flow as single-stage. Splitting the compression process over two stages also reduces the compression ratio, which results in lower thrust loads on the bearings and longer air end life. NXHE two-stage compressors offer unparalleled energy efficiency in a reliable, long-life industrial air compressor – making it ideal for high-flow base-load industrial applications.

• More acfm per horsepower than single stage equals power savings, and the ability to select a smaller compressor
• Lower specific power / higher Isentropic Efficiency than single stage equals power savings
• Two-stage air end life is considerably longer than its single stage counterpart due to reduced thrust loads on bearings (lower compression ratio in each stage)
• Over / Under design allows for inter-stage cooling which removes heat of compression and improves overall efficiency
• Independent bearing lubrication system delivers oil to critical wear points to extend air end life

The NXHE Series Two-stage Rotary Screw Air Compressors was awarded the Gold Award for the 2020 Plant Engineering Product of the Year for Compressed Air.
