The new Grasso V series reciprocating compressor

Hi Guys

I wondered if anybody had seen or had any experience of the new Grasso V series compressor?

Reading the article from the Grasso website in the news section the principle is based on TCO - Total Cost of Ownership for the end user.

The whole top end assembly looks to be changeable as a complete unit. I assume the compressor controller module monitors the operating conditions of pressure, temperature, safety failures and run hours to calculate the maintenance required.

Would be interesting to know more?

Sturt.

The Grasso V series officially release at the 4th quarter of 2009

It looks like they start with the 4 and 6 cylinder models. Maybe its frequency converter drive only, since the max. speed is 1200rpm.
Does anyone have some more info on it other than whats on their website?

I had the oppertunity to see the V serie in operation. Personelly i was surpriced about the nice constant heat on the crankcase area and head temperature. I expect a nice product.
