Atlas Copco TC-4000-P-PB-ES
Product Introduction:
The TC-4000-P-PB-ES is a two-stage, electric-driven towable compressor housed in a full protective (PB) canopy. The “PB” designation indicates a weather-protected, sound-attenuated enclosure that shields all components from rain, dust, wind, and debris. This configuration is intended for outdoor deployment in harsh environmental conditions where open-frame units would suffer accelerated wear.
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)
- Operating Weight: Approximately 7,500 kg (16,535 lbs)
- Dimensions (L × W × H): Approximately 6,000 × 2,400 × 2,600 mm (including canopy)
- Noise Level: 92 dB(A) at 7 meters (PB canopy reduces noise by 10–12 dB vs. open frame)
Functional Features:
- Protected Chassis (PB): Full steel canopy with weather sealing, acoustic insulation, and security locks
- Two-Stage Compression (P): Cool discharge air — approximately 95°C (203°F)
- Electric Drive (ES): Zero emissions, low maintenance
- Enhanced Filtration: PB enclosure allows use of higher-grade intake filters without risk of water ingress
Performance Parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| FAD @ 100 PSI | 4,000 CFM (113.3 m³/min) |
| FAD @ 40 PSI | 4,800 CFM (136.0 m³/min) |
| Max Pressure | 175 PSI (12 bar) |
| Motor Power | 315 kW (422 HP) |
| Compression Stages | 2 (Two-Stage) |

| Noise Level (with PB) | 92 dB(A) at 7 meters |
| Duty Cycle | 100% continuous |
Material Composition:
- Frame: Hot-dip galvanized structural steel
- Canopy (PB): 1.5 mm galvanized steel with 50 mm acoustic insulation (rock wool)
- Air End: Cast iron two-stage rotary screw
- Tank: ASME / PED certified carbon steel — 500-liter capacity
- Aftercooler: Aluminum plate-fin — mounted inside PB enclosure
Structural Characteristics:
- Tandem-axle trailer with full PB canopy covering entire unit
- Air intake and exhaust routed through canopy with weather baffles
- Lockable access doors on both sides for maintenance
- Integrated lighting inside canopy for nighttime service
Working Principle:
Identical to TC-4000-P-ES in compression process. The PB canopy creates a controlled micro-environment: intake air is drawn through elevated, weather-protected filters; compressed air is cooled inside the enclosure; discharge air exits through a weather-sealed outlet. The enclosure protects all components from direct rain, UV exposure, and particulate ingress.
Advantage Highlights:
- Extended component life in outdoor/harsh environments — reduces maintenance cost by 30–40%
- 10–12 dB noise reduction improves compliance with occupational noise regulations
- Weather protection allows year-round outdoor storage without degradation
- Higher-grade filtration possible due to protected intake — improves air quality
Applicable Industries:
Outdoor construction, mining, quarrying, pipeline work, military field operations, events, remote industrial sites
Model Series: TC-4000 Series — Towable Compressors (4,000 CFM class) — Protected Variant
Installation Requirements:
- 400V/480V 3-phase supply — minimum 500A
- Level, compacted ground — PB canopy adds approximately 500 kg to operating weight
- Ensure canopy ventilation panels are not obstructed — minimum 0.5-meter clearance at intake and exhaust
Usage Precautions:
- Do not seal canopy completely — ventilation is required for cooling
- Inspect canopy weather seals quarterly; replace if cracked or compressed
- Clean intake filters weekly in dusty outdoor environments
- PB canopy interior temperature can exceed ambient by 10°C — monitor motor temperature in hot climates
