Atlas Copco TC-4000-P-CC-ES
Product Introduction:
The TC-4000-P-CC-ES is a two-stage, electric-driven towable compressor featuring condenser (CC) cooling. The “CC” designation indicates a condenser-cooled aftercooler system (as opposed to the standard air-cooled configuration), providing superior heat rejection in high ambient temperature environments. This unit delivers 4,000 CFM with the coolest possible discharge air temperature for maximum tool protection and process quality.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Free Air Delivery (FAD): 4,000 CFM (113.3 m³/min) at 100 PSI (7 bar)
- Maximum Working Pressure: 175 PSI (12 bar)
- Drive Type: Electric Motor — 315 kW (422 HP)
- Power Supply: 400V / 50Hz / 3-phase (or 480V / 60Hz / 3-phase)
- Compression Stages: Two-Stage (P)
- Cooling System: Condenser-Cooled (CC) — water-cooled aftercooler
- Operating Weight: Approximately 7,300 kg (16,094 lbs)
- Dimensions (L × W × H): Approximately 5,800 × 2,300 × 2,500 mm
- Noise Level: 98 dB(A) at 7 meters
Functional Features:
- Condenser Cooling (CC): Water-cooled aftercooler with condenser — maintains discharge air temperature below 40°C (104°F) even in 45°C ambient
- Two-Stage Compression (P): Already produces cool air; condenser cooling brings it to near-ambient temperature
- Electric Drive (ES): Zero emissions, VFD-compatible for energy optimization
- Closed-Loop Water Circuit: Recirculating coolant with heat exchanger — no continuous water supply required (dry cooler option available)

Structural Characteristics:
- Tandem-axle trailer with integrated coolant reservoir and pump housing
- Condenser mounted at rear of trailer with dedicated airflow path
- Dry cooler option adds roof-mounted radiator with fan
- Full service platform with coolant fill, drain, and temperature gauge access
Working Principle:
Electric motor drives a two-stage rotary screw air end. Compressed air exits the second stage at approximately 95°C (203°F) and enters the condenser-cooled aftercooler. The condenser uses a closed-loop water circuit (or dry cooler) to reject heat, cooling the compressed air to below 40°C (104°F) before it reaches the moisture separator and delivery point. The condenser provides 3–5× the heat rejection capacity of an air-cooled aftercooler.
Advantage Highlights:
- Lowest discharge air temperature available in the TC-4000 family — essential for paint shops, food processing, and pharmaceutical applications
- Condenser cooling maintains performance in ambient temperatures up to 45°C (113°F) without derating
- Closed-loop system requires no continuous water supply — operates in water-scarce environments
- Two-stage + condenser = maximum air quality and tool protection
Applicable Industries:
Automotive paint shops, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, electronics assembly, precision instrumentation, chemical processing, any application requiring ISO 8573-1 Class 1 or 2 air quality
Model Series: TC-4000 Series — Towable Compressors (4,000 CFM class) — Condenser-Cooled
Installation Requirements:
- 400V/480V 3-phase supply — minimum 500A
- Condenser requires 2-meter clearance at rear for airflow (dry cooler) or water connection (wet cooler)
- Closed-loop system must be filled with approved coolant (typically ethylene glycol 30% solution) before first startup
- Level ground capable of supporting 7,300 kg
Usage Precautions:
- Check coolant level and concentration weekly — maintain 30% ethylene glycol solution
- Clean condenser fins monthly; flush coolant circuit every 2,000 hours
- Do not operate condenser pump dry — will cause seal failure
- In freezing climates, drain coolant circuit or use antifreeze to 50% concentration
- Condenser adds approximately 300 kg vs. air-cooled variant — verify trailer axle rating
