Atlas Copco TC52P-D

Product Series: TC Series — Electric-Driven Portable Compressors

Product Introduction:
The TC52P-D is a portable electric-driven rotary screw air compressor designed for indoor and noise-sensitive environments. The “D” suffix denotes the factory-installed vibration dampening (Decoupled) mount system that isolates the compressor from the trailer frame.

Material Composition:

  • Frame: High-tensile steel welded construction
  • Air End: Cast iron housing, GHH rotor set
  • Cooler: Aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger
  • Motor Housing: Cast aluminum with IP55-rated terminal box

Structural Features:

  • Decoupled (D) vibration mounting system with rubber isolators
  • Single-axle towable trailer with road lights
  • Full canopy roof with integrated forklift pockets
  • Centralized service panel with quick-connect couplings

Working Principle:
The 400V 3-phase electric motor drives the twin-screw air end directly via a flexible coupling. Air enters through a multi-stage filtration system, is compressed in two stages, cooled by the aftercooler, and separated in the built-in moisture separator. The Elektronikon controller modulates motor speed and load/unload states to match air demand, reducing energy consumption by up to 35% compared to fixed-speed units.

Key Advantages:

  • Zero on-site emissions — ideal for indoor and tunnel applications
  • Decoupled (D) mounting reduces vibration transmission by 80%
  • IE3 premium efficiency motor reduces electrical operating costs
  • Compact footprint for confined job sites

Applicable Industries:
Tunneling, indoor construction, shipbuilding, rental fleets, paint shops, food processing facilities

Installation Requirements:

  • Dedicated 400V 3-phase electrical supply with minimum 200A breaker
  • Grounding resistance must not exceed 5 ohms
  • Level surface with 3 ft (1 m) clearance on all sides
  • Cable entry point must be sealed to maintain IP55 rating

Usage Notes:

  • Do not operate without the vibration dampeners (D) properly installed
  • Inspect and replace air filters every 500 hours or when differential pressure exceeds 2 psi
  • Motor insulation resistance must exceed 100 MΩ before each startup after extended shutdown
  • Operating altitude above 3,300 ft (1,000 m) requires motor derating per Atlas Copco guidelines
