Inlet Guide Vanes
Efficient airflow control is essential for optimizing centrifugal compressor performance, reducing energy consumption, and adapting to changing production demands. Traditional control methods can increase energy use during periods of reduced air demand. Upgrading to inlet guide vane (IGV) technology helps improve part-load efficiency, enhance operational flexibility, and reduce operating costs.
FS-Elliott’s Inlet Guide Vane Upgrade Solutions improve compressor efficiency by regulating airflow entering the compressor. By adjusting inlet air conditions to match system demand, IGV technology helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining reliable operation. This aftermarket upgrade allows facilities to optimize performance and extend the value of existing equipment without requiring a complete compressor replacement.
FS-Elliott’s Aftermarket Solutions: Inlet Guide Vane Upgrade (IGV) brochure highlights the benefits of upgrading existing centrifugal compressors with inlet guide vane technology. Learn how FS-Elliott helps facilities improve airflow control, maximize energy efficiency, and reduce lifecycle costs through targeted compressor upgrades.

Seasonal Maintenance Checklist for Centrifugal & Rotary Screw Air Compressors
A combined perspective from the compressed air experts at FS-Elliott and FS-Curtis. Seasonal temperature changes don’t just affect the weather; they directly impact compressed air system performance, efficiency, and reliability. Regardless of your compressor technology, shifts in temperature and humidity introduce new challenges that can quietly reduce efficiency, strain components, and lead to unplanned downtime.
OEM vs Non-OEM Parts Explained: What Manufacturers See That Others Don’t
When your operation depends on continuous, high-performance output, the smallest component can have an outsized impact. At first glance, a non-OEM or aftermarket part may appear identical to the original. It may even fit.
But in precision equipment, “fits” and “functions” are not the same thing.
As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), we design, engineer, and validate every component using original performance data, proprietary material specifications, and rigorous testing protocols. Each part is developed as part of an integrated system—built for durability, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
That perspective gives us a clear view into what happens when third-party parts are introduced into high-performance equipment. Here’s what operators should understand, straight from the source.
The Importance of Energy Efficiency
Many manufacturers know that compressed air is often called the Fourth Utility. After water, electricity, and natural gas, compressed air is equally crucial for manufacturing, and luckily there are solutions to help improve energy efficiency to save costs and reduce greenhouse emissions. Additionally, increased efficiency is essential for ESG initiatives that ensure a healthy world for customers, employees, and communities.
