Oil-Free Scroll Compressors for Aerospace
Scroll Technology for On-Board Oxygen Generation Systems
Scroll compressor solutions from Air Squared are compact, efficient, and used on several commercial and military airframes - ideal for airborne oxygen generation.
On-board oxygen generation systems (OBOGS) eliminate the heavy steel bottles required by liquid oxygen systems, and in turn, significantly reduce weight, risk, and maintenance. An air compressor is a key part of the pressure swing adsorption process used to generate oxygen, providing pilots an unlimited source of oxygen-enriched breathable air.
When compared to piston compressors, oil-free scroll compressors are reliable, durable, and efficient, making them ideal for aerospace applications. Additionally, Air Squared can design around unique packaging and weight requirements, so your device can be as compact and lightweight as possible.
