Turbo Air Compressors From Air Supply

BOGE’s new turbo compressor series saves both resources and energy. Suitable for high or low pressure applications, they set a new standard for efficiency and performance.

A turbo air compressor works in a similar manner to a turbo in a combustion engine. Instead of exhaust gases being used on one turbine to rotate the turbine on the intake side, a highly compact electric motor spins both turbines at 30,000rpm with one turbine compressing to low pressure and feeding into the other turbine compressing to higher pressure.

Think oil-free compressed air (even the bearings are lubricant-free air bearings) with minimal energy costs, very low sound pressure levels and a very low footprint. Turbo compressors from BOGE deliver an efficient, cost-effective compressed air system, ideal for industries where performance and sustainability matter.

These compressors are used in a wide variety of industries, including: 

• Automotive 
• Manufacturing
• Chemical processing
• Power and energy generation
• Aviation

Main benefits of turbo compressors include:

• High energy density
• No oil or lubricant required
• Low operating costs
• Efficient heat recovery
• High and low pressure range
• Low maintenance
• Lower sound pressure level
• Minimal space requirements
• Small footprint

To find the right turbo air compressor for your needs, think about the following factors: 

• Demand for compressed air 
• Capacity required 
• Reliability and maintenance requirements of the air compressor

FAQs for turbo compressors 

What is a turbo air compressor? 

A turbo compressor is a type of dynamic compressor that increases the pressure of a gas, usually air, by using a high-speed rotating impeller to accelerate it. As the air moves through the system, its high velocity is then converted into pressure. These compressors are mostly used in heavy industrial settings where there is a constant demand for large volumes of clean, oil-free air. 

Are turbo compressors oil‑free? 

Yes. Turbo compressors are oil-free, ensuring that compressed air delivered to pneumatic tools and machinery is 100% pure. This means it’s a highly suitable choice for more sensitive industries where contaminated air is prohibited (such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and medical). 

What are the main benefits of turbo compressors? 

Turbo compressors offer several benefits. One of the biggest is their ability to consistently deliver large volumes of clean, oil-free air, even at high demand. Because of this, they’re especially well-suited to industrial processes that run around the clock, rather than setups where air demand comes and goes in short bursts. 

They’re also particularly common in industries where clean air is a non-negotiable. Turbo compressors are designed to deliver an air supply free of oil carryover, dust, and excess moisture. As a result, there’s far less chance of contaminants entering the air stream, which in turn helps protect product quality and reduces the risk of falling short of strict industry compliance standards. 

What’s more, turbo compressors have fewer moving parts than other compressors on the market. As a result, you’ll benefit from minimal noise and vibrations, as well as less need for regular, heavy-duty maintenance.  

How does a turbo compressor differ from a screw compressor? 

Turbo compressors and screw compressors achieve the same end result, but work in very different ways.  

A turbo compressor uses a rapidly spinning impeller that builds pressure via kinetic energy. A screw compressor, on the other hand, uses two meshing rotors that gradually compress trapped air and feeds to attached tools and machinery.  

Turbo compressors are the preferred choice for large facilities that require a 24/7supply of compressed air. Screw compressors, however, tend to be suited to environments where air demand fluctuates, as they’re not as efficient.
