Atlas Copco LE, LT and high-pressure piston booster systems provide dependable compressed air for applications requiring pressures above conventional plant air systems. CompreVac supplies and supports Atlas Copco high-pressure compressor solutions from Mississauga, Ontario.
Many industrial compressed air systems operate around conventional plant pressures, but some applications require substantially higher pressure at the point of use.
Atlas Copco piston compressors and boosters provide a practical solution for applications requiring pressures from conventional 10 bar industrial air through 15, 20 and 30 bar high-pressure compressed air, with dedicated booster systems available for even higher-pressure duties.
CompreVac can help determine whether your application requires a stand-alone high-pressure compressor or a booster arrangement using an existing lower-pressure compressed air supply.
Atlas Copco piston compressor technology covers applications from conventional industrial compressed air through specialized high-pressure and booster duties.
LE single-stage lubricated piston compressor for standard industrial compressed air duties.
LT two-stage high-pressure compressor configuration.
LT two-stage compressor for higher-pressure industrial compressed air applications.
LT high-pressure configuration for demanding industrial process applications.
Choose between stand-alone piston compressors and booster systems depending on your required pressure, air flow and available inlet air supply.
Atlas Copco LE and LT oil-lubricated reciprocating compressors are designed for reliable industrial compressed air production where piston compressor technology is preferred.
The LE is a single-stage compressor with a maximum working pressure of 10 bar / 145 psi. The LT uses two-stage compression and is available for 15, 20 and 30 bar applications.
A booster compressor increases the pressure of an existing compressed air or gas supply rather than compressing atmospheric air from the beginning.
Atlas Copco LB piston booster systems are designed for high-pressure applications such as PET bottling, nitrogen systems, power generation and laser cutting.
High-pressure compressed air and gas systems are used where standard plant air cannot provide the pressure required by the production process or downstream equipment.
Atlas Copco piston compressors combine compact construction, direct drive technology and accessible maintenance points for dependable industrial operation.
Robust compressor construction and quality materials are designed for long service life.
Direct-driven technology reduces transmission losses compared with traditional belt-driven arrangements.
The compressor block is directly coupled to the motor, helping reduce overall installation space.
Components and service points are positioned for straightforward routine inspection and maintenance.
High-pressure compressor selection should start with the required outlet pressure and actual air flow. For booster applications, inlet pressure and available upstream capacity must also be considered.
Determine the actual pressure required by the process at the point of use.
High-pressure compressor capacity must match the normal and peak demand of the application.
Booster systems depend on a suitable compressed air or gas supply at the inlet.
Operating hours and production profile affect compressor sizing and configuration.
Determine whether the system is compressing air, nitrogen or another approved process gas.
Allow for realistic production growth without unnecessarily oversizing the compressor.
Common questions about Atlas Copco LE, LT and piston booster compressors for industrial high-pressure air applications.
In industrial compressed air systems, high-pressure equipment generally refers to compressors operating above typical plant air pressure. Atlas Copco LT piston compressors are available for 15, 20 and 30 bar applications.
The LE is a single-stage oil-lubricated piston compressor with a maximum pressure of 10 bar / 145 psi. The LT uses two-stage compression and is available at maximum pressures of 15, 20 or 30 bar.
Atlas Copco LT compressors are available in versions rated for maximum pressures of 15 bar / 218 psi, 20 bar / 290 psi and 30 bar / 435 psi.
A booster compressor receives already compressed air or gas and increases it to a higher pressure. This can be more practical than using a separate compressor to compress atmospheric air directly to the final high pressure.
Common applications include PET bottling, laser cutting, nitrogen boosting, power generation, industrial testing, specialized pneumatic processes and OEM equipment.
Certain Atlas Copco booster systems are designed for air and nitrogen applications. The exact compressor configuration must be selected for the gas, inlet pressure and required discharge pressure.
The key information includes required outlet pressure, required air flow, operating hours, duty cycle and application. For booster systems, inlet pressure and available upstream flow are also essential.
That depends on the existing compressed air supply and required pressure. If a suitable lower-pressure air supply already exists, a booster may be an efficient solution. A stand-alone compressor may be more appropriate where no suitable inlet air supply is available.

Looking for a durable, high-performance compressed air solution for your specific industrial application? Then the Atlas Copco LE LT oil-lubricated aluminum piston compressors are designed for you.
LE oil-lubricated for single-stage compression
The single-stage oil-lubricated reciprocating compressor allows filtered air to enter both cylinders through the inlet valve. The piston is driven forward through the connection rod attached to the balanced crankshaft. Maximum operating pressure is 10 bar (145psi) and capacities range from 3.4 up to 31.7 l/s at 50 Hz, 8.3 to 79.8 cfm at 60 Hz. Air compressed in the cylinders leaves through the outlet valve when the pressure reaches 10 bar (145psi).
LT oil-lubricated for two-stage compression
The LT two-stage oil-lubricated reciprocating compressor allows filtered air to enter only one cylinder. This low pressure cylinder feeds the second (high pressure) cylinder that can operate at a maximum pressure of 15, 20 or 30 bar (218, 290 or 435 psi) and with the following capacities:
15 bar (218 psi) from 7.6 to 23.1 cfm at 60 Hz.
20 bar (290 psi) from 5.7 to 44.3 cfm at 60 Hz.
30 bar (435 psi) from 6.6 to 41.7 cfm at 60 Hz.
