Two-stage screw compressors are designed to deliver stable compressed air (ompressed air) at a high level of performance for demanding industrial air compressors applications. Using advanced rotary screw technology, these screw compressors complete compression in two stages, helping improve efficiency while maintaining reliable output in fixed speed and variable speed operating modes.

Compared with single stage compressor designs, two-stage screw compressors support energy savings by optimizing the compression process and reducing overall load during continuous operation. Their balanced structure allows easy maintenance, consistent performance, and dependable operation across a wide range of air compressor systems requiring stable pressure and efficient energy use.

Why Choose ZIQI GAT Two-Stage Technology?

The ZIQI GAT Series represents the pinnacle of two-stage compression technology. While the industry settles for standard adiabatic compression, ZIQI pursues the Isothermal Ideal — splitting the compression ratio between two distinct stages with interstage cooling to minimize internal leakage and maximize volumetric efficiency to over 95%, delivering 15% more air for the same motor power.

With 17 models from 22 to 355 kW and an industry-leading 5 pressure options (0.6–1.3 MPa), the GAT series covers applications from precision electronics manufacturing to heavy-duty mining. Every model features a WEG IE4 Super Premium motor with direct 1:1 flexible coupling — no gearbox losses, no belt slippage. VSD (Variable Frequency Drive) options are available on all models for an additional 15–20% energy savings at partial loads. For standard single-stage compressors, see our GAS fixed-speed series. For high-pressure needs above 1.3 MPa, see our GAH high-pressure series.

Selection Guide

How to Choose Your GAT Model

1

Determine Working Pressure

Identify the maximum pressure your process requires. The GAT offers 5 options: 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3 MPa. Most general industrial applications use 0.7 or 0.8 MPa. Note: GAT-315W and GAT-355W are not available at 0.7 MPa.

2

Calculate Air Demand

Determine the maximum volumetric flow rate needed. The GAT ranges from 2.60 m³/min (22 kW) up to 73.0 m³/min (355 kW). Add 15–20% margin for future expansion and peak demand fluctuations.

3

Choose Fixed or VSD

Select GAT (fixed-speed) for constant demand, or GAT-VFC (variable speed) for fluctuating loads. VFC models adjust output to 10% of rated capacity, saving an additional 15–20% energy on partial loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GAT series better than a VSD single-stage compressor?
For continuous demand, a fixed-speed GAT (Two-Stage) is often more efficient than a single-stage VSD at full load because the dual-stage air end itself is 15% more efficient. However, the best solution is a GAT-VFC (Two-Stage + VSD), which offers the highest possible efficiency across all load ranges — combining aerodynamic advantage with speed modulation.
What pressure range does the GAT series support?
The GAT series supports 5 pressure options: 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3 MPa (6–13 bar). This is wider than most single-stage compressors. Note that GAT-315W and GAT-355W are not available at 0.7 MPa — they are optimized for 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3 MPa applications.
How much energy can a GAT two-stage compressor save?
A GAT two-stage fixed-speed model saves approximately 15% vs a single-stage compressor of the same power due to superior volumetric efficiency. Combined with VSD (GAT-VFC model), total savings reach 30–40% vs a standard single-stage fixed-speed unit. For a 110 kW compressor running 6,000 hours/year at $0.12/kWh, this translates to over $13,000 annual savings.
What is the difference between GAT and GAT-VFC models?
GAT is the fixed-speed two-stage model — ideal for constant-demand applications. GAT-VFC (or GAT-CFV) adds a Variable Frequency Drive for speed modulation. VFC models can reduce output to approximately 10% of rated capacity, making them ideal for fluctuating demand patterns. Both share the same dual-stage air end and WEG IE4 motor.
Why does the GAT use two compression stages instead of one?
Two-stage compression splits the total pressure ratio between two stages with interstage cooling in between. This approaches isothermal (constant temperature) compression, which is thermodynamically the most efficient method. Benefits include: 15% higher volumetric efficiency, lower discharge temperature, reduced internal leakage between rotors, lower bearing loads, and longer air end lifespan (100,000+ hours).
What motor does the GAT series use?
All GAT models are equipped with WEG IE4 Super Premium Efficiency motors with IP55 protection and cast iron construction. IE4 is the highest commercially available motor efficiency class, minimizing electrical losses. The motor is connected via direct 1:1 flexible coupling — no gearbox or belt, eliminating all transmission losses.
Can the GAT series handle high-pressure applications like laser cutting?
The GAT series goes up to 1.3 MPa (13 bar), which covers many laser cutting setups. For higher pressures (16–40 bar) required by fiber laser cutting or PET bottle blowing, we recommend our GAH high-pressure screw compressor series or booster systems.
What cooling options are available for GAT compressors?
Small models (22–75 kW) are air-cooled. Medium models (90–132 kW) are air-cooled, while GAT-160W is water-cooled and GAT-185A/W offers both options. Large models (200+ kW) offer both air and water cooling, with the largest (280–355 kW) being water-cooled only. Discharge temperature is ambient +15°C for air-cooled and below 40°C for water-cooled.
