FuelXpert
Make the Impossible Possible
Average 10% Better Fuel Consumption Than our Best Competitors
Conventional systems based on pneumatic control steer engine speed and inlet without thinking about fuel economy. These systems have focused on the stabilization of the regulating system, but have not looked at the optimal fuel consumption at each load. FuelXpert, with its electronic control module, regulates engine speed and air inlet with a view of optimizing fuel consumption for each working condition. Most importantly when the air demand is lower than the capacity needs, the system ensures the right capacity for the application.
How Does It Work?
FuelXpert is a combination of hardware and unique Atlas Copco proprietary software that makes for quite superior results. Namely, a significant reduction in fuel use.
Hardware
- Regulating valve
- Inlet throttle
- Regulating system
Atlas Copco Software that electronically measures
- Regulating pressure
- Engine speed
An added benefit is that it is now even easier to start in cold weather conditions as the system can be engaged with a closed inlet valve and be opened when air is required.
The Best Just Got Better
Atlas Copco has always had the lowest fuel consumption when it came to running at full load, well now that superiority has been transferred to running speeds that are less than 100% load.
Significant Savings
FuelXpert gives on average savings of 10% - and could even be higher in the middle load ranges.
