A 22 kW compressor can be a practical fit for Lobito sites where steel demand is moving beyond intermittent workshop use into a more regular production pattern.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
Installations in Lobito should be planned around the actual operating environment. For this mixed industrial, engineering and workshop environment, we normally pay particular attention to measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. The Lobito system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
One realistic design case for this page is a mixed base load from steel equipment and short peaks from pneumatic tools, actuators, fixtures, cleaning and machine automation. The 22 kW unit supplies about 3.6 m³/min at a typical 7 bar reference point, but the decision must be checked at the site’s actual pressure and simultaneous demand.
Configuration priorities for the Lobito air system
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For steel in Lobito, list the equipment behind pneumatic equipment, cleaning, tooling and production support and separate steady consumers from short peaks. This determines whether 22 kW is a base-load match or only one part of the final system.
02 · Air treatment
Protect the sensitive point of use
The package should address measured demand, moisture control, service access and pressure stability. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive steel application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. The Lobito system brief links this requirement to the control and air-treatment plan for the 22 kW machine.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where manufacturing demand changes through the shift, VSD may reduce unloaded operation. Where demand is stable, fixed-speed can remain the better-value option. The choice should follow a demand profile, not a general rule. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Lobito.
Local operating profile
Design priorities for Lobito
For the 22 kW installation in Lobito, the next step is to turn that context into measurable flow, pressure and air-quality criteria.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the steel process instead of treating them as optional extras.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Lobito quotation
Is there an existing receiver, dryer or ring main that will remain in service?
What electrical supply is available at the proposed compressor position?
How will hot discharge air leave the compressor room?
Is production able to stop for planned maintenance, or is redundancy required?
What future machines or production lines are likely to be added?
Three ways to package the 22 kW compressor
Integrate into an existing air station
Supply the compressor for connection to a suitable existing receiver, dryer and distribution system in Lobito. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. The final 22 kW proposal for Lobito will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
Complete production-air package
Combine the 22 kW machine with a reviewed 1 000 L receiver range, refrigeration dryer, pre-filter, coalescing filter and automatic drains for the steel duty.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future manufacturing demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. For the Lobito application, the 22 kW scope states how this requirement will be handled.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. In the Lobito quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Lobito brief
Specify the minimum pressure required at the furthest user, then calculate losses through pipework, filters and the dryer. Raising the compressor set point to compensate for a restrictive network wastes energy, so the distribution system should be checked first. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Lobito package from a generic equipment-only quote.
The scope can include delivery, off-loading, positioning, receiver and dryer connections, airline tie-in, electrical coordination, commissioning and operator handover. The final quotation separates included work from any site preparation required before arrival. On the Lobito project, we confirm this specifically for the 22 kW package and the measured duty profile.
Base the service plan on operating hours, environment and manufacturer intervals. For a mixed industrial, engineering and workshop environment, intake filters, cooler cleanliness, drains and ventilation deserve routine inspection in addition to oil, separator and filter changes. This detail is confirmed during the 22 kW site-planning stage for Lobito.
If loss of air stops the steel process, compare the cost of downtime with a duty/standby arrangement or an emergency connection point. Redundancy can sometimes be phased in, but the pipework and controls should allow for it from the start. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Lobito package from a generic equipment-only quote.
