Atlas Copco TC52S-P-4240-0441
Product Introduction:
The TC52S-P-4240-0441 is a fixed-speed TC52S compressor with the “P” suffix denoting a high-pressure configuration. The “4240” indicates 42.4 m³/min FAD at 7 bar, and “0441” specifies a maximum working pressure of 41 bar (4,100 kPa / 595 psi). This is a high-pressure standard-efficiency unit, positioned between the 40 bar and 50 bar variants. The “P” in this context indicates a pressure-rated build for 41 bar operation.

Material Composition:
- Rotor Housing: Cast iron GG25 — rated to 41 bar
- Rotors: Atomized alloy steel, 50 HRC
- Oil Separator: Rated to 41 bar, glass fiber coalescing
- Discharge Valve: 41 bar rated swing check valve
- Safety Valve: Set at 43.05 bar (110% of max pressure)
- Cooler: Aluminum plate-fin, 41 bar rated
- Piping: All internal discharge piping rated to 41 bar minimum
Structural Features:
- Reinforced compressor end for 41 bar service
- Higher-rated oil separator and internal components vs. 10 bar variant
- Safety valve calibrated to 43.05 bar
- Pressure gauge range: 0–60 bar
- All pressure-rated components stamped with 41 bar certification
Working Principle:
Standard oil-injected rotary screw compression. The compression ratio is significantly higher than the 10 bar variant (approximately 6:1 vs. 2:1), requiring more robust internals, higher-rated oil separator, and reinforced discharge piping. The controller maintains constant discharge pressure up to 41 bar.
Key Advantages:
- 41 bar rating — precise pressure for applications requiring exactly 40–41 bar (e.g., certain PET blowing, CNG, paint systems)
- Standard efficiency (IE3) — lower capital cost than VSD premium variant
- Same footprint and FAD as the 40 bar variant — easy retrofit
- Elektronikon Mk5 with full pressure monitoring
Applicable Industries:
PET bottle blowing, high-pressure paint systems, fire-fighting air, CNG compressor feed, laser cutting, water jet cutting.
Installation Requirements:
- Indoor, 1.5 m clearance
- Ambient: 0°C to +45°C
- Floor load: 1,200 kg
- Electrical: 400V/50Hz/3-phase, 100A breaker
- All downstream piping, fittings, and equipment must be rated to minimum 41 bar
- Safety valve discharge pipe must route to safe location
Usage Notes:
- Oil: Atlas Copco Roto-Inject Fluid, change every 4,000 hours or 1 year
- Air filter: every 4,000 hours
- Oil separator: every 4,000 hours
- Safety valve: test annually
- Do not exceed 41 bar — controller shutdown at 43.05 bar via safety valve
