Duplex air compressor systems are one of the most popular units that we offer. They have a dual compressor layout which reacts differently according to the situation, allowing it to operate either one compressor at a time, alternate between the two or operate both simultaneously.
Therefore, if your sprinkler system requires resilience or backup in case of failure and/or additional capacity in the absence of three-phase supply, then a duplex compressor station can offer the perfect solution. Its features provide a safety net for your system that gives it both adaptability and consistency, as well as offering a significant increase in overall life safety, which is obviously the key motivation for all sprinkler systems.
We can manufacture duplex stations using virtually any of the compressors in our range, from oil-free to belt-driven, and with either 230v or 400v power supplies. We often incorporate air dryers and air receivers, allowing us to offer the most comprehensive product possible. On top of this all of our compressors come fitted with the following; a control panel with isolator, thermal overload, load-sharing relay to manage compressor utilisation, alarm connections and changeover indicators.
