Two Stage Compressor
The revolutionary new WABCO two stage compressor significantly reduces the problems of oil degradation and oxidation in compressed air. Using technology new to the automotive field it splits the compression process into two operations, with sufficient inter-cooling. The result is a peak temperature of approximately 250°C, producing appreciably improved air quality and providing significant operating advantages:
Features:
- Innovative two stage compression technology – a world first in the commercial vehicle industry
- Reliability and efficiency with over 3 years’ intensive road testing
- Established thermodynamic principle for higher efficiency
- Compression process is approximately the same to the ideal isothermal compression process
Benefits:
- Reduced oil cracking
- Virtually no oil degradation in the compressor
- Lower oil carry over
- Longer air system lifetime
- Substantially improved air quality
- Improved safety, stability and reliability in air suspension and air-assisted gearshift mechanisms thanks to reduced sticking
- Significantly lower total cost of ownership
- Lower power consumption
Application: Trucks-heavy
