TURBO-AIR NX 8000

Centrifugal Compressor
100% oil-free air*
*Per ISO 8573-1 certification
Same Engineered Quality, All New Compressor
Ingersoll Rand has a long-standing tradition of providing innovative
products and technology that positively affect our customers’
bottom line. Following this tradition, Ingersoll Rand is proud
to introduce the new TURBO-AIR® NX 8000, a centrifugal
compressor designed to meet the highest performance and
reliability standards. These high standards were achieved by
incorporating robust design features that increase flow and
optimize efficiency in a compact footprint.
Featured Improvements
• Integrated structural sub-base
also serves as lubricant reservoir,
drive motor foundation, and
mounting platform for lube
system accessories, including the
aux oil pump, oil heater, and oil cooler.
• Optimized stage and gas passages utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• OEM-optimized cast-in-water manifold, with provisions for optional patent-pending
integral trim valves
• Interchangeable intercooler bundles
ISO Certified Class Zero
Our TURBO-AIR centrifugal compressor product line has been engineered
to produce oil-free air for more than 60 years. This certification officially
acknowledges the ability of our compressors to produce 100% oil-free air,
providing our customers with enhanced quality assurance.

Compare the innovative centrifugal compressor technology of the

TURBO-AIR NX 8000 with other compressors, and the advantages are clear.

Non-contacting, non-wearing labyrinth air and oil seals, with

atmospheric air gap, require no buffer air for oil-free air, and
eliminate the need for periodic replacement of carbon-ring seals
and instrument air for permissive starting Independent thrust and journal bearings enhance mechanical reliability
for a wide range of loads and eliminate hot oil carryover, reducing
bearing pad temperatures. Thrust bearing designed to limit axial rotor
float, enabling high stage efficiency.
