Scroll Compression Principle
High Reliability Space Saving
Multi-Drive Control
Energy Saving
1. Compressor sucks air through an air inlet located at outer scroll.
2. Compression chamber becomes smaller with the rotary movement
and trapped air is compressed.
3. Compression chamber achieves minimum volume at the centre of the
scroll and air is pumped out through the air outlet located at the centre
of scroll.
4. The suction, compression & discharging process is repeated continuously.

Innovation, Performance and Reliability

Control Mode setting can be changed between Multi-Drive Control and Pressure Switch Control.
Under Multi-Drive Control mode, the operation of SRL heads is modified automatically, responding to the need of air.
The necessary pressure is maintained producing an optimized, energy-saving performance.
P-Mode:
Similar to conventional Pressure Switch Control, if
maximum pressure is reached, the compressor will
stop operating. When the pressure decreases to the
cut-in pressure, the compressor will restart.
Multi-Drive Mode:
The compressor is automatically controlled to maintain
the necessary operating pressure(control pressure).
Unnecessary power consumption is prevented by
avoiding reaching maximum pressure - and energy
savings are achieved.

Because the back and right sides are at and the exhaust extraction is from the top, it’s possible to install the compressor with
two sides close to walls. Installation space is greatly saved.
*
It is still necessary to secure space for maintenance.
Low noise, low vibration
◦
Noise level is a low 47dB[A]-as quiet as a library !(3.7kW)◦Low vibration:pencils remain standing on the top during operation.

Easy to use
1. No need to change oil and separate the oil from drain. No need to install oil mist lter as well.*
2. Well-designed structure means easy maintenance - for the draining and cleaning of suction lters.
*
If the suction air is thought to contain oil, it is necessary to install an oil mist lter.

Specications
Note:
1. Air capacity is converted value at its inlet condition. For guaranteed values, contact your nearest dealer or
HIT
ACHI local representative ofce.
2. Noise level is measured at 1.5m front, under full-load operation in an anechoic room. It may vary in different
operation conditions or envir
onments.
3. It is necessary to install an air receiver tank for 5.5kW and above models to reduce ON-OFF frequency.
For 2.2/3.7kW models, it is also r
ecommended to install an additional air receiver tank.
4. External dimensions indicate the package panel ONLY, NOT including protruding objects such as
discharge outlet.
5. Ambient temperatur
e must be between 0 (at which there is no freeze of drain water) and 40°C.
6. 1.0MPa model is optional for all models except for 3.7kW. Refer ( ) for corresponding data.
7. Hitachi air compressors are not designed, intended or approved for breathing air applications.
8. Motors start with full voltage and on 3 phase source.
