Champion Announces Launch of D and DRS Series Rotary Screw Compressors
Champion has expanded their product line by launching the new fixed speed D Series and the energy saving variable speed DRS Series rotary screw compressors. These new, cost effective 5-200 horsepower compressors offer a flow range of 16 to 926 CFM and working pressure up to 145 psig.
D and DRS Series compressors are ideal for continuous-use applications with reduced noise levels as low as 63 dBA for maximum customer satisfaction. These easy-to-use compressors feature convenient control solutions to monitor and simplify maintenance for reliable and efficient performance at an affordable price. D and DRS Series compressors feature clean, service-friendly designs. The robust, semi-integrated airends and intuitive layouts, with minimized connections, make these units very maintenance friendly. Spin-on oil filters and air/oil separators ensure standard maintenance is quick and easy. Models available include 5-100HP fixed speed (D Series) and 10-200HP variable speed (DRS Series).

Why a Variable Speed Compressor?
How to know a VSD compressor is the right pick?
Speed control of a compressor is regulated by a variable speed drive, often known as VSD. This option uses the variable-speed drive technology to control the speed of the compressor based on what is being demanded from the compressor.
Is a VSD right for me?
A variable speed compressor is not for every application. VSD rotary screw compressors need to be ran in a location that is in need of 24/7 compressed air and has a changing demand on the amount of air needed. If your compressed air needs are constant, or even mostly constant with only occasional slight variations, a variable speed compressor may not be necessary.
With variable speed drive air compressors, the unit makes adjustments to match the demand needed. The motor runs only at the speed you need, giving you the right amount of compressed air at the right pressure, and at the right time.
Advantages of a Variable Speed Compressor
- Reduced energy consumption (in the proper application)
- Quieter than a fixed speed when running at a lower RPM
- Consistent plant pressure
- Increased component lifetime
- Less maintenance cost and ease of maintenance
- Low inrush current during motor starts
- Compact total solutions available
- May qualify for energy incentives
The inverter in the VSD system performs a “soft” start operation by ramping up the motor speed. This removes amperage draw peaks that are normal when a fixed speed motor starts. The soft starting used by a VSD compressor also helps protect electrical and mechanical components from the starting mechanical stresses that can reduce the life of an air compressor.
A huge benefit to a VSD compressor is reducing power cost, minimizing power surges and delivering a more constant pressure needed. When there is minimal demand, the drive runs slower using less electricity. The higher the demand, the VSD runs wide open and can operate anywhere in between depending on the system demand for air.
We look forward to helping.

About
In business since 1984, Air Technology West continues to be a major provider of sales and service of air management equipment to the North Bay business community. We pride ourselves on our professionalism. Our personnel are knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced in all areas of air management.
We serve a very broad spectrum of compressed air users; including manufacturers, wineries/agriculture, food processors, woodworkers/cabinet makers, auto repair/auto body/tire shops, medical/dental/biotech facilities, schools/colleges, stone/marble works, cork/bottling operations, glass etchers, city/county/state municipalities, water/beverage processing, mills/lumber yards, building maintenance, and construction companies, just to name a few.
We consider all the equipment that we sell to be highly reliable and easily serviceable. We maintain a large inventory of service related items and repair parts. We offer a rental plan so our customers don’t need to halt operations if their compressor should require major repairs. Many of our customers find our rental plan useful when they need an additional compressor to supplement their existing system, as their air usage increases for short periods of production or harvest. We also offer maintenance contracts for customers who prefer the peace of mind that their compressor will be regularly maintained.
We understand the importance of a well engineered and properly maintained air system. When your compressor is down it can cripple your entire operation. We strive to respond to our customers’ service requests in a timely, convenient manner. Emergency calls and contract customers receive the utmost priority, while routine maintenance service calls are scheduled promptly for mutual convenience. We can adjust our schedule to meet your needs. We want you to be comfortable with any service we schedule, and satisfied with the work we perform.
We would welcome the opportunity to quote you on any maintenance or service needs you have on your existing compressed air equipment. As well, if you anticipate upgrading or changing your system in any way, we would be happy to discuss those changes with you if you would like our advice.
Thank you for your interest in our company.
