Atlas Copco PF3109-C-HW
Product Name: Atlas Copco PF3109-C-HW Oil-Free Piston Compressor
Product Overview:
The PF3109-C-HW is a portable, oil-free piston air compressor from the PF series designed for demanding industrial applications requiring Class 0 (ISO 8573-1) air quality. The “C” denotes the compressor element type, “HW” indicates high-pressure water-cooled configuration.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Free Air Delivery (FAD): 9.0 m³/min (318 CFM)
- Working Pressure: 10 bar (145 psi) / 13 bar (188 psi) / 16 bar (232 psi) — adjustable
- Motor Power: 75 kW (100 HP)
- Engine: Diesel-driven (optional electric motor available)
- Cooling System: Water-cooled
- Sound Level: 96 dB(A)
- Weight: Approximately 2,800 kg
- Dimensions (L×W×H): ~3,200 × 1,400 × 1,800 mm
Material Composition:
- Cylinder liners: Cast iron with chrome plating
- Piston rings: PTFE-coated carbon composite
- Frame: Powder-coated heavy-duty steel
- Air end housing: Aluminum alloy (ADC12)
Structural Features:
- Four-stage compression piston design
- Inter-stage water-cooled aftercoolers
- Belt-driven or direct-drive configuration options
- Integrated fuel tank (diesel models)
Working Principle:
Four-stage piston compression with inter-stage cooling. Air enters the first stage cylinder, is compressed, cooled via water-cooled aftercooler, then progresses through subsequent stages to achieve final discharge pressure. Oil-free operation is maintained through PTFE-coated piston rings and non-lubricated cylinder surfaces.
Key Advantages:
- ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certification — zero oil content
- Water-cooled system enables continuous duty operation
- High FAD-to-weight ratio
- Low maintenance intervals (500 hours)
Applicable Industries:
Pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, electronics, painting/coating, medical air supply, laboratory environments.
Installation Requirements:
- Level, firm ground surface
- Adequate ventilation (minimum 2 m clearance on all sides)
- Water supply connection for cooling (minimum 15 L/min flow rate)
- Electrical connection: 400V/50Hz/3-phase (electric motor version)
Usage Notes:
- Use only with Atlas Copco genuine filters
- Drain condensate daily during operation
- Never operate without coolant in water-cooled models
