Doosan Portable Power has expanded its Tier 4 Final air compressor lineup with the introduction of the XHP1170WCU. The industry’s first Tier 4 Final/Stage III B-compliant high-pressure air compressor, the XHP1170 will not only meet the tough demands of drilling operations, but exceed them. The XHP1170 is the first in the industry-leading Doosan air compressor lineup to be equipped with the Doosan HR350 airend. Designed and manufactured at the company’s facility in Statesville, N.C., the HR350 airend offers a highly efficient rotor profile that requires less horsepower to deliver high volume cfm output, resulting in a 9 percent increase in fuel economy over the previous interim model.

"With the addition of the XHP1170, Doosan Portable Power provides customers with the most complete lineup of Tier 4 Final air compressors in the industry," said Rus Warner, global air products manager, Doosan Portable Power. "All include the same compact footprint, advanced features and reliable power that customers have come to expect from the Doosan name."

The XHP1170 comes standard with dual pressure regulation, offering operators the ability to select two pressure settings via the redesigned control panel — instantly expanding application compatibility and machine uptime. The XHP1170 is capable of delivering 250 or 365 psi.

The air compressor is powered by a Tier 4 Final Cummins QSX15 with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) after-treatment system. The 580 hp engine delivers 1800 rpm, while two 99-gallon fuel tanks ensure eight hours of machine runtime at 100 percent load. The unit comes standard with a fuel cooler that prevents fuel overheating. Doors on the sides and rear of the unit provide simple and safe access to all service components.

Built to hold up against the challenges of rugged on-site conditions, the XHP1170 air compressor includes a heavy-gauge galvannealed steel enclosure, heavy-duty tandem-axle running gear for easy towing and construction-grade pedestal jack stand.

The XHP1170 includes a one-year/2,000-hour package warranty, two-year/3,000-hour engine warranty and two-year/4,000-hour airend warranty. A five-year/10,000-hour airend warranty is offered with the use of Doosan filters, fluids and parts.
 
Doosan Portable Power offers a full line of high-pressure air compressors delivering a range of 750-1,500 cfm to meet any application requirement.
