Setting a new standard for specific energy performance in its class. The future of mid-range Oil-free.

By optimizing energy efficiency throughout the entire system, we have set a new benchmark for specific energy performance in its class. A mid-range model that paves the way for the future with cutting-edge performance.

Motor output : 55-120kW
Discharge air flow : 6.9-19.0m3/min
Features

Best energy efficiency in mid-range models.

Class-leading specific power consumption

With specific power consumption as our primary design criterion, we strive to deliver products that maximize energy efficiency for our customers. The integration of ultra-high-efficiency motors and optimized package design has enabled us to set a new benchmark for specific energy performance in its class.

Compared with Previous ALE 9% UP (ALE75FAV+NV)
Comparison of specific power consumption

Wide-range control

Wide range control can deliver higher airflow at lower pressure point. ALE IV senses line pressure and automatically utilizing excess power during low-pressure operation efficiently. At 0.6MPa operation, airflow can be increased by up to 10% (75kW).

75FAV+IV Max. Air volume 10% UP

High-efficient motor (Fixed-speed: IE4, Inverter: IE5 equivalent)

To pursue energy efficiency, we adopt high-efficiency motors. ALE IV fixed-speed models are equipped with IE4 super-premium motors, and inverter models feature ultra-high-efficiency IPM motors which are IE5 equivalent.

Designed high effiiency screw rotors

A new rotor profile has been designed using advanced analysis technology that KOBELCO has fostered in their long history since developing the first oil free screw compressor in Japan in 1956. KOBELCO has achieved class-leading specific energy consumption thanks to the screw rotors which have been designed superior performance.

screw rotors

●Optimization of the inter stage pressure
●Optimization of rotor clearance
●Improvement of shaft sealing structure

Package design for no wasted energy

Internal piping design, high efficiency motors and fans contribute to energy savings. Moreover, gas coolers' optimization decreases the discharge temperature and downsizes auxiliary equipment such as dryers. This leads energy saving of not only compressors but also clean air systems.

Package design

Partial-load performance of Inverter model

Inverter model's partial load performance has been improved thanks to IPM motor and superior rotor design. Inverter model supplies required air volume in appropriate power consumption.

Stable pressure control of Inverter model & Energy saving logic of Fixed speed model

Stable pressure control of Inverter model keeps the line pressure lower. And the pressure fluctuation is kept within 0.01MPa. Energy saving logic of Fixed speed model forcibly switch loading to unloading at every capacity control cycle (min 23sec). Excessive pressure rise is eliminated and energy loss is minimized.

Performance curve of KOBELCO Inverter model 26% Energy savingUp to 7% Energy saving

Class 0 certified

KOBELCO has received Class O certification (ISO8573-1 [:0]) for (Emeraude ALE) series from international test institute called TÜV which certifies the highest level of purity for quality classifications of compressed air.

ISO CLASS O
As specified by equipment user or supplier and more stringent than class 1

Long life cycle

Long Overhaul cycle has been achieved thanks to long life cycle bearings.

Standard Overhaul cycle

Superior Anti-corrosion performance

Proven Teflon coating and 2nd stage's Stainless steel rotors secure high durability against drain attack and prevent performance deterioration due to corrosion.

Anti-corrosion test results

Outstanding quietness

Various noise control techniques has drastically reduced sound level. Making the working environment more comfortable.

Package structure for noise reduction

Cooling air inlet points have been put into one place to reduce noise.

Panel design

Noise absorbing material and high sealing ability against abrasive noise reduce noise leakage.

Silencer

Newly designed suction and discharge silencers reduce noise level.

Easy maintenance

Easy access to key service parts for maintenance thanks to large panels and reduction of internal piping.

Exhaust cleaner without power source or instrument air

Filter type and compact exhaust cleaner has over 99% of oil mist separation performance and keeps inside of unit clean. Moreover, pressure resistance doesn't increase for long time because oil mist is separated itself.
