3. COMPRESSOR PUMP UNIT
The compressor block ATLANTIC 100 is used to compress air in the high pressure range up to 330 bar (4500 psi). The compressor
block is of a four stage, four cylinders design. The cylinders are arranged in the 1st stage on the left, 2nd stage on the right, 3rd and
4th stage on the centre side looking from the filter side. The compressor blocks are particularly suitable for continuous operation
because of their rugged design and the corrosion resistant intermediate filter and cooler assemblies. Smooth running is a particular
feature of this Nardi design. The moving parts of the driving gear are all equally balanced. This results in a vibration-free running. The
driving gear is fitted with energy saving cylinder roller bearings. The upper and lower connecting rod bearings are also roller bearings.
Crankcase, cylinders and heads are obtained from the gravity dies. Connecting rod are extracted from casting dies. Cylinder are in cast
iron inside an aluminium pipe.
