PRODUCTIVITY. Atlas Copco is an industrial group with world-leading position in products and services that deliver sustainable productivity. The company was founded in Sweden in 1873, celebrating 140 years of successful business in 2013. Today, we have sale and service operations in more than 180 countries. The voices of our customers around the world are very important to us. By listening to customers we learn about what we do well and what we need to improve. Each year, we open new customer centers in emerging markets, always with a long-term commitment to local customers and partners.

2 Atlas Copco compressor Technique provides air and gas compressors and generators, expanders, vacuum technology, air and gas treatment equipment as well as air management systems and service for industrial applications. In this CATALOG you will find our comprehensive offering of energy efficient COMPRESSED air, gas and vacuum solutions to help improve customers sustainable productivity. Drivers of innovation - from idea to customer benefit We want to put our customers ahead of their competition. For example, we are listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability For Atlas Copco, energy efficiency is always a top priority index as one of the world's most innovative companies. and a strong incentive to seek new and better solutions. And at the World Economic Forum in Davos in Switzerland we were listed as the 10th most sustainable company in Our continuous drive to further reduce the carbon foot- the world.

Energy efficiency is our benchmark COMPRESSED air is simply indispensable in many pro- cesses today, so it is all the more astonishing that many businesses have long since disregarded the most sig- nificant cost factor in COMPRESSED air supply - the cost of energy. Approximately 80% of the total lifecycle cost is apportionable to energy! For this reason, Atlas Copco has been striving for greater energy efficiency for many years, with the aim of boosting our customers' produc- tivity in the long term. "Committed to sustainable productivity" is the stan- dard we bear. Nevertheless, we are always seeking to develop new, more efficient drive systems and to better tailor individual components to overall designs.

6 Today, operators are able to run their systems consis- tently at the optimum operating point and to ensure that all machines are used to full capacity. The result in both cases is a lower electricity bill. When scrutinizing the lifecycle costs of COMPRESSED air systems, investments in energy efficient systems always pay off. This is particularly true when it comes to heat recovery: Compressors generate heat energy which can be har- nessed for other purposes in the operating environment. We have the experience and technical means at our disposal to implement appropriate solutions. Electrical energy that has been expended once, for instance, can be reused in the form of thermal energy: to support hall heating, heat warm water or warm up processes.

7 Heat recovery quickly pays for itself. We offer compressors already equipped with these systems, but there are also retrofitting options available for existing systems. 4. Variable Speed Drive (VSD): reducing energy consumption In the company's relentless quest to cut costs and develop innovative products, Atlas Copco unveiled the pioneering va- riable speed drive (VSD) technology in 1994. Early 2013, Atlas Copco surprised the market with a new, very compact oil- injected rotary screw compressor from 7 to 37 kW: the 7-37 GA VSD+. Besides a small footprint, it offers a leap forward in flow and a breakthrough energy efficiency, requiring on average 50% less energy than a comparable idling compressor . Fluctuating COMPRESSED air demand in 92% of all systems In almost every production environment, air demand fluctuates based on a num- ber of factors (time of day, week or even month).

8 Extensive measurements and studies of COMPRESSED air demand profiles show that COMPRESSED air demand varies considerably in 92% of all compressor and fan systems. COMPRESSED air de- mand is found to be relatively stable in just 8% of all systems. Tests have indicated that VSD compressors and fans save energy in these situations too.

The leader in oil-free COMPRESSED air technology Oil-free air is used in all kinds of industries where air quality is paramount for the production process and end product. These applications include food and beverage processing, the pharmaceutical industry (manufacturing and packaging), wastewater treatment, chemical and petrochemical processing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, the medical sector, automotive paint spraying, textile manufacturing and many by even the smallest quantities of oil can result in costly production downtime and product spoilage, making Class 0 an industry standard.

10 First in oil-free air technology Over the past sixty years Atlas Copco has pioneered the deve- lopment of oil-free air technology, resulting in a range of air compressors and blowers that provide 100% pure, clean air. Through continuous research and development, Atlas Copco achieved a new milestone, setting the standard for air purity as the first manufacturer to be awarded ISO 8573-1 CLASS 0. certification.

Using the most rigorous testing methodologies available, all possible oil forms were measured across a range of temperatures and pressures.
