[email protected]Atlas Copco announces new Hurricane booster
March 21, 2011 – Franklin, IN – Atlas Copco’s new Hurricane model B7-41/1000
booster is driven by a Caterpillar C7 diesel engine and features a four-cylinder, single
stage, reciprocating booster. Though smaller and lighter than competitive units of the
same class, the Hurricane B7-41 has a capacity of 2440 cfm at a maximum discharge of
1,000 psi.
The newly designed Hurricane B7-41 sports several improvements over previous models.
Each cylinder has a temperature sensor, and engine and booster coolers are now separate.
Airflow is improved by means of a dual inlet suction manifold, and the piping route has been
improved. Safe transportation of the unit has been enhanced by single-point lifting and a
stronger base-frame with forklift slots.
Using a six-cylinder, turbo-charged drive engine, the new Hurricane booster from Atlas
Copco provides increased flows and pressures for improved borehole drilling. It also comes
with a standard 24 volt starting and operating system.
Other standard features on the Hurricane B7-41/1000 include automatic load/unload, booster
bypass manifold, pre-cooler with a built-in bypass valve, after-cooler, and suction scrubber
tank. The booster block is water-cooled. A full function instrument panel monitors all
pressures, temperatures and controls, and is equipped with full protection shutdown and fault
indicators.
Optional features include an automatic scrubber tank drain, a full protection frame, a digital
control panel and a cold weather kit. A variety of additional options is available.
