Hydrovane HV11 to HV22
Rotary vane compressors 11 to 22 kW – enclosed, fixed speed and RS
The HV11 to HV22 are enclosed for quiet operation and take up little space. All units fit through a standard 914 mm door, which makes installation correspondingly easy.
They are available with fixed speed or variable speed (RS) and as a complete Hypac package with receiver, refrigeration dryer and filters. iConn remote monitoring is standard.
Motor power
11 to 22 kW
Pressure
6 to 10 bar
Free air delivery
1.29 to 3.60 m³/min
Sound pressure
from 69 dB(A)
Why the HV11 to HV22?
The larger Hydrovane models also run at low speed with direct drive, without gears or belts. The result is a long service life and little maintenance.
The RS models adapt their output to the air demand. iConn monitors the compressor in real time and reports problems before they lead to downtime.

Frequently asked questions
How does a rotary vane compressor work?
A rotor with longitudinal slots turns in a cylindrical housing. Vanes slide in the slots; they are pushed outwards by centrifugal force and run on a film of oil. This creates chambers that become smaller as the rotor turns, compressing the air. The rotor is the only moving part and turns slowly with direct drive.
Fixed speed or variable speed (RS)?
A fixed-speed compressor is most economical when it runs at a steady load. If your compressed air demand fluctuates during the day, a variable speed RS compressor continuously adjusts its delivery and saves electricity. On request, we measure your demand with a compressed air analysis and tell you what is worthwhile.
How long does a Hydrovane last?
Thanks to low speed, direct drive and only one moving part, Hydrovane compressors reach more than 100,000 operating hours. The Hydrovane Advance programme offers up to 10 years or 48,000 hours of warranty on the airend.
Who maintains the compressor?
We do. As the CompAir partner for north-western Switzerland, we maintain and repair your system with genuine spare parts and service kits. If your compressed air supply fails, you can reach our on-call service on 062 552 00 88.

Which compressor is right for your business?
Compressed air demand, pressure, operating times and available space determine the choice. We advise you, supply the compressor with air treatment, install the system and take care of service.
