As a dual-speed compressor, a GA FLX will give you up to 20% energy savings and performance improvements compared to traditional fixed-speed models. That being said, a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) air compressor is always the optimal solution, matching its motor speed to your air demand. The good news: you can turn your GA FLX into a VSD machine and save up to 50%. Here’s how it works.

Once you have operated your GA FLX for 1000 hours, you will automatically receive an energy consumption analysis on your Elektronikon controller and via SMARTLINK. This will include a calculation of how much you can save by switching to VSD. This analysis is not based on general assumptions or average savings. Instead, it is based on your actual operation of your dual-speed GA FLX.
2. The one-click VSD upgrade
If and when you are ready to upgrade from dual-speed to full VSD functionality, you simply sign up for a license by using the QR code on the Elektronikon display or the contact button in SMARTLINK. Atlas Copco will execute the VSD upgrade for you on your GA FLX. This is done fully remotely, as the upgrade license is securely pushed “over the air” via SMARTLINK on to the Elektronikon. That means no service intervention is required, unless you prefer an on-site visit by one of our service technicians.
3. Enjoy up to 50% energy savings
Because VSD technology matches the motor speed of your GA FLX to your air demand, you virtually eliminate transient and unload losses. Your result: up to 50% energy savings and a much-reduced total cost of ownership.
Why turn your GA FLX into a VSD?
Because more than 80% of the cost of owning and operating an air compressor is related to the energy it uses. That makes reducing energy consumption a top priority. Increasing your 20% dual-speed energy savings to 50% with VSD will make a huge difference in your bottom line but also towards meeting your sustainability goals. Once you get the report of your GA FLX’s actual energy consumption after 1000 working hours, you will know exactly how much you will save and how quickly you will achieve return on your upgrade investment.
