February, 1922 Direct-Connected Motor Driven Air Compressors Ingersoll-Rand Class ““PRE’’ The efficient regulation of the air output by the 5-step Clearance Control is prob- ably the outstanding reason for the success of Class “‘PRE”’ direct-connected, electric motor-driven compressors. Efficient Operation at Full and Partial Loads. With this regulation the compressor auto- matically operates at any one of the five load points depending upon the demand for air. The compressor will deliver full, three-quarter, one-half, one-quarter or none of its capacity and the horsepower required is practically 1n proportion to the air output. Another feature of the 5-step Clearance Control is the Maximum Demand Stop which prevents the compressor being operated at any higher maximum load than is desired. This is extremely important if a maximum demand or service charge is included in your contract for electric current. We will be pleased to quote on the compressor direct-connected to unity or leading power factor synchronous motor with exciter and panel. Bulletin 3126.
