The RR 15070 is a specialized W-type air compressor engineered for the rigorous demands of railway applications, specifically designed for Electric Multiple Units and Mainline Electric Multiple Units. It features an innovative hollow rotor shaft that eliminates traditional couplings, reducing mechanical complexity and potential points of failure. This unit delivers a substantial free air delivery of 1200 liters per minute at a working pressure of 8 Kg/cm2, providing the reliable, high-volume airflow essential for safety-critical train functions. Its oil splash lubrication system ensures consistent protection of internal components, while the air-cooled design maintains optimal operating temperatures. With overall dimensions of 958mm x 705mm x 680mm and an approximate weight of 300 kg, its compact and robust form factor is precisely engineered for underslung mounting beneath train carriages, making efficient use of limited space.
This compressor serves a vital role across the railway industry, where uninterrupted and dependable compressed air is non-negotiable for operational safety and efficiency. Railway rolling stock manufacturers integrate the RR 15070 directly into new EMU and MEMU production lines for primary braking systems, door operations, and various pneumatic control mechanisms. Maintenance depots and fleet operators rely on this unit for replacement projects and system upgrades, valuing its direct compatibility with existing infrastructure and its enhanced, reliable performance. The underslung mounting configuration, supported by wire rope isolators, is particularly effective for modern trains, providing excellent vibration damping and optimal space utilization to ensure smooth, reliable operation through years of demanding service in diverse environmental conditions.
The RR 15070 delivers significant business value through its unique design, proven reliability, and operational efficiency tailored for railway use. The elimination of conventional couplings via the hollow rotor shaft design directly reduces maintenance needs and associated operational downtime. The robust W-type three-cylinder, two-stage build guarantees consistent air delivery for critical train functions. Operators benefit from a lower total cost of ownership due to extended service intervals and a durable construction that withstands the constant vibrations, temperature swings, and continuous service cycles of daily rail operations. This compressor is built to address the specific challenges of railway applications, providing confidence through performance that meets stringent industry safety standards and the rigorous demands of modern transit systems globally.
