Industrial Air Compressors

Fixed-speed compressors run at constant motor speed and are ideal for applications with consistent air demand. Variable-speed drive (VSD) compressors adjust motor speed to match fluctuating demand, delivering 30–50% energy savings in applications where demand varies between 40–75% of full load capacity. VSD models like the LRS Series are best suited for facilities with variable compressed air needs.

TurnValve is a patented Gardner Denver variable displacement technology used in the Electra-Saver G2 and Electra-Saver II G2 series. It precisely adjusts the compressor's air output to match system demand in the 60–100% capacity range where most industrial compressors operate, eliminating wasted energy from unloaded running and providing exact pressure control with minimal fluctuation.

Our industrial air compressors cover a wide flow range from as low as 13 CFM on the L Series up to 2,459 CFM on the Electra Saver G2. The LRS Series delivers 29–1,620 CFM, the Electra-Saver II G2 covers 137–1,541 CFM, and the Electra TS/TSV provides 835–1,652 CFM. This broad range ensures the right compressor is available for any industrial application.

Standard warranties range from 1–2 years depending on the model. The industry-leading Platinum 10-Year Extended Warranty covers airend parts for 10 years and major components for 5 years. The Platinum+ Full Package Warranty is a 5-year renewable service agreement covering wear items, package components, and includes factory-trained distributor maintenance visits. All warranties require on-schedule maintenance per the operations manual.

Yes. Most models include the Governor touchscreen controller with iConn remote monitoring connectivity as standard. iConn allows you to track operating parameters, receive alerts, log performance data, and access web server diagnostics from anywhere. The Electra TS/TSV includes iConn as a factory-installed standard feature, and select L Series and LRS Series models also support iConn connectivity.

Gardner Denver industrial air compressors meet multiple regulatory standards including cULus listed and CSA approved electronics, ASME Section VIII Division 1 coded pressure vessels, ISO 9001 quality management, and ISO 8573-1 air quality standards. Select models also carry ASME/CRN certification for Canadian compliance. Electrical enclosures are rated to NEMA 4 or IP54 depending on the model configuration.
