dBA Shield Noise Reduction: Designed for Quiet Operation
Operating at just 69 dBA at 125 PSI, the NxB15 is one of the quietest compressors in its class. This exceptional noise performance is achieved through intelligent engineering and premium materials:
- Integrated centrifugal blower and drive motors make for extremely smooth and quiet operation
- Extra-thick sound insulation with laminated oil-proof materials reduces noise transmission
- Can be installed in applications where a quiet setting is important, including shops near residential areas or noise-sensitive environments
eCool® Technology: A Cool Innovation in Compressor Design
Compressors generate significant heat during operation. FS-Curtis' exclusive eCOOL® Technology provides superior protection from heat buildup and dramatically reduces thermal stress on critical components. This proprietary cooling system is the ultimate in system protection and reliability.
By combining smart compressor layout with intelligent component selection, eCOOL® Technology maximizes cooling airflow for greater energy efficiency, improved reliability, and significantly extended service life. The results are impressive:
- Protects critical components from compressor-generated heat
- Extends service life up to 50% longer for motors and electrical components
- Extends service life up to 30-50% longer for bearings, hoses, and seals
- Reduces downtime and lowers maintenance costs
- Compartmentalized airflow design with standard aftercooler for optimal heat management
Quality Components: Built for Dependability and Reliability
The NxB15 is engineered with premium components throughout, ensuring the highest levels of dependability and reliability over years of demanding service:
- Premium Efficiency TEFC (IP55) motor protects the compressor from surrounding dirty air, increasing efficiency and prolonging motor life
- Spin-on air/oil separator allows for quick maintenance and delivers exceptionally low one-to-three PPM oil carryover, resulting in lower make-up oil costs and higher quality compressed air
- Spin-on oil filter for easy, fast maintenance
- Air cooled oil cooler and aftercooler for consistent temperature management
- Factory-filled synthetic lubricant for superior protection and extended drain intervals
- Multi-function oil valve for precise lubrication control
- Vibration isolators reduce noise and protect mounting surfaces
- NEMA-1 electric panel with full voltage motor starter
- 115/18V control voltage transformer for safe, reliable controls
