For a growing Maputo operation, a 22 kW unit may provide the right step up in capacity when current air supply is limiting government production or workshop activity.
Typical planning role: a continuous line with multiple pneumatic consumers.
For the type of government and port logistics work associated with this Maputo page, the design emphasis is simple operation, lifecycle support and clear maintenance planning. Those items have a direct effect on reliability and operating cost. For Maputo, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
One realistic design case for this page is a central air point serving fleet workshops, maintenance facilities and general service infrastructure across more than one work area. 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.
What the complete compressed-air package must solve
01 · Demand
Map the working air profile
For government in Maputo, list the equipment behind fleet workshops, maintenance facilities and general service infrastructure 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 simple operation, lifecycle support and clear maintenance planning. A matched dryer and filter train must meet the most sensitive government application without adding unnecessary pressure loss. This forms part of the technical review for the 22 kW Maputo quotation rather than being treated as a standard assumption.
03 · Control
Choose fixed-speed or VSD from data
Where port logistics 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. The 22 kW design for Maputo is checked against this requirement before compressor, receiver and dryer selections are finalised.

Design priorities for Maputo
For this 22 kW Maputo brief, the same operating priorities are converted into practical equipment and installation choices.
For this 22 kW page, the strongest proposal is one that links receiver storage, room ventilation, filtration and maintenance access to the government process instead of treating them as optional extras.

Before we price the machine
Five questions for the Maputo quotation
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?
How far is the compressor room from the largest air users?
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 Maputo. Existing equipment should be checked for capacity and pressure loss first. Before order placement, this point is reviewed for the specific 22 kW installation in Maputo.
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 government duty.
Growth and uptime package
Allow connection points, controls and pipe capacity for future port logistics demand. Where air loss stops production, evaluate standby capacity or an emergency compressor connection. This is one of the checks used to distinguish the 22 kW Maputo package from a generic equipment-only quote.
Motor size alone does not confirm suitability. Compare usable flow at pressure, duty cycle and air quality for each option. For Maputo, the 22 kW recommendation records this item in the equipment and installation schedule.
Questions specific to this 22 kW Maputo brief
Fixed-speed can suit a stable base load. VSD is normally considered when the government demand changes materially through the shift. A simple air-demand profile is the best way to compare energy use rather than choosing VSD automatically. In the Maputo quotation, this is matched to the actual operating pattern of the proposed 22 kW system.
1 000 L is a practical starting range, but the receiver must be checked against demand peaks, control method and available space. Short events linked to fleet workshops, maintenance facilities and general service infrastructure may justify more storage instead of oversizing the compressor.
Most production systems benefit from a matched refrigeration dryer and filtration. The required dew point and filter grade depend on the government process; sensitive instruments or product-contact risks may require a different air-quality design. The final 22 kW proposal for Maputo will show whether this is included, optional or dependent on site preparation.
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. For the 22 kW Maputo proposal, this point is verified against the submitted site data before the final scope is issued.
