Description
Senator DSV45-8 45kW 8 Bar 268 cfm Variable Speed Rotary Screw Air Compressor
The Senator DSV45-8 is a 45kW (60 hp) base-mounted variable speed drive (VSD) rotary screw air compressor set to a working pressure of 8 bar (116 psi), delivering 3.04-7.60 m³/min (107-268 cfm) of free air. It is a dependable, cost-effective source of compressed air for busy factories, multi-shift production lines, plastics and packaging plants and central plant-room air systems.
The Senator DSV Series pairs a German-engineered EU COMP air end with a variable speed drive that constantly matches motor speed to your air demand. Instead of running flat out and idling, it delivers exactly the air you need, cutting electricity use by typically 15 to 30% compared with a fixed speed compressor.
The standard 8 bar setting suits the vast majority of air tools and plant-air systems while keeping energy use low.
Key Features
- Variable speed drive (VSD) matches output to demand, typically saving 15 to 30% on electricity
- German-engineered EU COMP rotary screw air end with a third-generation 5:6 rotor profile
- Soft VSD start-up prevents current spikes and mechanical shock loading
- Premium efficiency IE3, MEPS-compliant motor with Class F insulation and IP55 protection
- Fan-forced oil cooling allows continuous running in ambient temperatures up to 45°C
- AIMS controller with full status display, protection, maintenance scheduling and auto-restart after a power failure
- Soundproofed cabinet with anti-vibration mounts for installation in the work area
- May be eligible for government energy efficiency grants
Lower Running Costs
Electricity makes up around 75% of the lifetime cost of an electric screw compressor. Because the DSV45-8 only runs as fast as your air demand requires, it avoids the wasted energy of a fixed speed machine running unloaded. Savings of 15 to 30% are typical, so the extra upfront cost is usually recovered in electricity savings, and VSD models like this one may be eligible for government energy efficiency grants.
