System Automation
Why System Control?
Common findings with
unmanaged systems:
More compressors are
running than required
The wrong combination of
compressors are running
Actual m/min demand
System Automation
X8I Market Positioning and Opportunity
Advanced system control
High value/low cost
Standard to custom configurations
Leverage Nirvana efficiency attributes
Easy to install, setup and operate
2-8 unit compressor installations
Multi-unit new installations
Nirvana addition to existing system
Optimizing retrofit for existing system
16,000+ installations have multiple 7.5-350 kW compressors
more every day!
