HEYI centrifugal air compressors

Oil-free magnetic-bearing compression for plant air systems

Magnetic suspended high-speed centrifugal air compressor packages for customers who need efficient, low-noise, low-vibration compressed air with intelligent control and reduced routine maintenance.

Product range

High-speed centrifugal compression with magnetic bearing support.

The HEYI platform uses a high-speed permanent magnet motor, active magnetic bearings and precision impellers. The result is a compact compressor package designed for oil-free air, simplified installation and digital operation.

110-600 kW Catalog motor range shown in the brochure
0.15-0.8 MPa Discharge pressure tables
10-20% Power reduction versus traditional air compressors
Best fit for: industrial air users replacing screw or piston compressors where energy cost, noise, vibration, oil carryover, maintenance and plant data visibility matter.

Why HEYI

A cleaner operating profile for compressor rooms.

The magnetic-bearing platform is designed to reduce oil contamination risk, routine mechanical work and installation constraints while improving visibility of compressor performance.

Oil-free bearing system

No lubrication in the magnetic bearing support.

Active magnetic bearings support the rotor without mechanical contact, avoiding bearing lubrication and reducing routine mechanical maintenance to periodic filter replacement.

Low site impact

Low noise, no vibration and no heavy foundation.

The brochure states noise below 80 dB(A) measured one meter from the compressor, with no vibration and no foundation or anchor bolts required for typical installation.

Digital operation

PLC, touch screen, 4G and cloud monitoring.

The standard control platform records operating data, alarms and faults, with mobile or PC remote monitoring and interfaces for third-party systems such as ERP.

Operating principle

Two-stage or multi-stage centrifugal compression.

Gas is accelerated and pressurized by the impeller. In two-stage or multi-stage configurations, the air is compressed, cooled through an intercooler, then sent to the next impeller until the required discharge pressure is reached.

A high-speed permanent magnet motor directly drives the impeller, reducing mechanical transmission losses and supporting high efficiency over the compressor life.

Cooling water requirements

Confirm site cooling water before final selection.

The buyer should provide qualified cooling water for compressor operation. The brochure specifies cooling water pressure of 0.2-0.4 MPa, temperature not above 35°C and flow of 40 tons per hour, with softened water or compliant industrial circulating water.

Pressure

0.2-0.4 MPa

Cooling water supply pressure range.

Temperature

≤35°C

Cooling water temperature stated in the brochure.

Flow

40 t/h

Cooling water flow stated for the compressor package.

Important: impurities or excessive hardness can block heat-exchanger passages or cause scale, reducing heat-transfer efficiency.

Applications

Built for continuous industrial air demand.

HEYI lists applications across wastewater treatment, biopharmaceuticals, flue gas desulfurization, aquaculture, petrochemicals, natural gas transportation, mining, metallurgy, power electronics, textile, paper making, casting and spraying.

35% Energy saving

Pharmaceutical case

Six centrifugal units replaced ten piston machines.

The stated result was annual electricity savings over 4 million RMB, with no friction, no lubrication and reduced performance decay across the life cycle.

25% Energy saving

Textile case

One 210 kW unit replaced two existing compressors.

The stated result was annual electricity savings up to 280 thousand RMB, with lower noise and easier installation.
