Chicago launches improved new compressors for Europe

International construction equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic has introduced versions of its CPS 11.0 (7bar) and CPS 11-12 (12bar) portable compressors aimed at the European market. The compressors feature Deutz EU compliant Stage 3B engines and are meant for surface drilling, abrasive blasting and ice blasting and excel in road work and shotcrete pumping. The 12bar variant is also suitable for special applications such as fibre optic cabling. The higher working pressure enables the CPS 11-12 compress

Bigger fuel tanks means longer running
International construction equipment manufacturer 6097 Chicago Pneumatic has introduced versions of its CPS 11.0 (7bar) and CPS 11-12 (12bar) portable compressors aimed at the European market.

The compressors feature 201 Deutz EU compliant Stage 3B engines and are meant for surface drilling, abrasive blasting and ice blasting and excel in road work and shotcrete pumping.

The 12bar variant is also suitable for special applications such as fibre optic cabling. The higher working pressure enables the CPS 11-12 compressor to push cabling through longer pipeline distances without pressure loss.

The Deutz engine uses Exhaust Gas Recirculation technology in combination with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and for the CPS 11-12 a Diesel Particulate Filter to sharply reduce the output of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. As a result, the CPS 11.0 and CPS 11-12 are more environmentally friendly than previous models and provide operators with the benefit of increased fuel efficiency at partial load.

Another new feature is the easy-to-use central electronic controller that provides operators with an improved user interface and straightforward control and monitoring options. The electronic controls also make it easy for operators to quickly start and stop the compressor and regulate automatic cool-down after the unit has been running at full load.

With large 175litre fuel tanks the compressors can be run non-stop at full load for an entire shift without refueling. A fully automatic step-less speed regulator also means the engine speed can be adapted to air demand.

Additional options include a braked undercarriage with a fixed or height adjustable tow bar, a non-braked undercarriage with fixed tow bar, jockey wheel, leg support and several towing eye options.

    Volvo Penta has a full line-up of diesel engines for the 5, 8, 11, 13 and 16litre capacity range. These are available in low emissions, Stage V compliant variants. For the 5, 8 and 11 litre engines, particulate filters and SCR systems are used in the emissions control package to meet the stage V requirements. Meanwhile the 13 and 16litre engines feature an SCR system that is integrated with the particulate filter. Passive regeneration is used for the particulate filters, so there is no need to stop a machin

    Engine manufacturers have had to jump through regulatory hoops in recent years, meeting requirements for diesels with ever cleaner exhaust emissions. When this programme was first proposed, many believed the final aims could not be achieved. However on January 1st 2011, the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations will come into force in North America and Europe and all the major diesel manufacturers will have suitable products at the ready. The Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions regulations require
