Oil-Free Scroll Compressors for Automotive OEMs
Scroll Technology for Autonomous Vehicle Sensor Cleaning
Self-driving vehicles rely on oil-free scroll compressors from Air Squared to deliver high-pressure, continuous airflow that keeps sensors, such as LiDAR, clean and free of debris.
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) use an array of sensors, including radar, LiDAR, and cameras, to map surroundings, detect objects, and provide other critical data that enables autonomous driving. As the AVs of tomorrow become increasingly more capable, effective sensor cleaning is critical for safe navigation and moving the world one step closer to a fully autonomous future.
Oil-free scroll technology provides a quiet alternative to traditional reciprocating technology, allowing for a better passenger experience. Solutions can be designed to accommodate a range of performance requirements and operate continuous duty, eliminating the need for an air tank and reducing the size and weight of cleaning systems.
