FS-Elliott Unveils Polaris+ Line of Centrifugal Air Compressors

FS-Elliott Co., LLC, a leading manufacturer of centrifugal air and gas compressors, recently launched their Polaris+ series. Building on the design of FS-Elliott’s original industrial compressors, the Polaris+ line incorporates several new product advancements developed to increase reliability and efficiency while maintaining the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. The new Polaris+ series consists of five models with flows ranging from 900 to 11500 icfm, 250 to 3000 hp, and pressures up to 150 psig.

Polaris+ air compressors introduce mechanical and aerodynamic improvements that provide a step-change in compressor performance, reduction in mechanical losses, and enhancements in package reliability. Patent-pending technology and industry-leading aerodynamic components ensure that plant operators realize reduced power consumption, resulting in lower energy costs.

Internal and external surfaces of the Polaris+ units feature enhanced coatings designed to further extend product life and resist corrosion in both standard and extreme operating conditions. Recent package improvements include the flexibility for future upgrade consideration and allow for simple and compact installation at facilities with space limitations.

Customers can now select from a wider variety of compressor control modes with the R1000, the latest controller in the Regulus Control System series designed specifically for Polaris+ units. As an added benefit, the R1000 features the industry’s first standard 9-inch full touch-screen display, resembling the user interface of a tablet device.
