Air Lubrication Compressors

Bubbles for The Bottom Line

Air Lubrication Systems provide a constant flow of air bubbles to lubricate the flat bottom area of a ship’s hull. Injection of air across the hull surface reduces the resistance working on the ship’s hull, which saves fuel. The key success factor for air lubrication systems is the distribution of air bubbles under the ship's hull when the vessel is moving at cruising speed. The requirement for correct air pressure and speed is highly precise. Our TMC Compressors feeds your Air Lubrication system to perfection. 

High efficiency in high ambient temperatures

With flexible configurations and top-notch technical features, the LP compressor package is the perfect solution for any Air Lubrication System (ALS).

It is based on a high-efficiency, single-stage, oil-free marine and offshore compressor, designed for Air Lubrication Systems on larger vessels. The compressor is manufactured for continuous operation in high ambient temperatures.
