ELGI Equipments: Launches Demand=Match System for Compressors

0

ELGI Equipments has launched its Demand=Match system, an innovation for fixed-speed compressors operating under fluctuating demand. This technology adjusts compressor delivery to real-time plant needs by recirculating airflow, ensuring delivery always equals demand. The result is VFD-like energy savings with the robustness of fixed-speed machines. The system was launched in India on September 19, 2025, and will be rolled out globally.

Innovative Compressor Technology

ELGI Equipments has announced the launch of the Demand=Match system, a breakthrough innovation designed to transform the operation of fixed-speed compressors facing fluctuating demand scenarios. Launched on September 19, 2025, this new technology aims to optimize energy consumption and improve efficiency in industrial settings.

How Demand=Match Works

The Demand=Match system intelligently adjusts compressor delivery to match real-time plant requirements. It achieves this by recirculating airflow inside the compressor, ensuring that delivery is always aligned with actual demand. This innovative approach results in energy savings comparable to Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) systems, while maintaining the simplicity and robustness of fixed-speed machines.

Key Benefits and Availability

The Demand=Match system offers several key benefits, including significant energy savings, improved reliability, cost efficiency, enhanced sustainability, and extended warranty options on select compressor models. It eliminates unnecessary machine cycling and maintains stable pressure, even under fluctuating demand conditions.

Currently, the Demand=Match system is available in India as a factory-fit option on ELGi’s EG and EQ series compressors. The company plans to progressively launch the technology across global markets in the near future.
