1. Product Overview: Core module of Centrifugal Air Compressor Cooling system setups

The FS-Elliott Compressor Cooler P500 is an industrial-grade cooling device specifically built for centrifugal air compressors. As the core module of the compressor's thermal management system setup, its operational performance directly affects the compressor's operational overall efficiency, stability, and service life. This cooler features modular design, compatible with FS-Elliott P-series centrifugal compressors (including P300/400/500/700 models), utilizing advanced heat exchange technology to transfer heat generated during compression to cooling media (water or air), ensuring the compressor operates within the safe temperature range below 90°C.

Technical Positioning and Industry Value

• Energy overall efficiency Improvement: In high-precision manufacturing sectors like semiconductors, chemicals, and food & beverage, the P500 cooler keep compressor temperature stability, ensuring gas purity and flow consistency, thereby indirectly improving production yield. For semiconductor manufacturing where oil-free compressed air requires extreme purity, the cooler must keep exhaust temperatures below 110°C to prevent lubricant decomposition from contaminating the air stream.
• Reliability and Maintenance Cost Optimization: Constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steel and spiral-grooved tube technology, the cooler withstands industrial chemical corrosion and high-pressure impacts, minimizing downtime from cooling system setup failures. User reports indicate that after 3,000 continuous operation hours, the P500 cooler shows less than 5% heat exchange overall efficiency degradation - significantly better than industry averages.
• Compatibility and Scalability: Supports air-cooled, water-cooled, and hybrid cooling modes for flexible configuration. In water-scarce regions, air-cooled modules can be deployed, while water-cooled system setups can be added for use cases requiring higher heat exchange overall efficiency.

• Three-stage Protection:
  1. Primary Warning: Triggers audible/visual alarms when cooling water flow drops below 3L/min
  2. Secondary Load Reduction: Automatically minimizes compressor load when exhaust temperature exceeds 120°C
  3. Emergency Shutdown: Forces shutdown when cooling water pressure falls below 0.2MPa or temperature exceeds 130°C
