Battery-powered screw air compressor
Unveiled in May 2024, this company’s battery-powered screw compressor, known as B-air (photo), is ideal for remote sites where access to grid electricity is not available. With power delivered from its onboard battery storage, a fully charged B-air can work all day without the need for fuel or a local power source. There are no emissions from the unit and the company says it is surprisingly quiet, with 61 dB measured at 7 m. — Atlas Copco Airpower n.v., Aartselaar, Belgium
