Thermo King, a leading developer of refrigeration

The TriPac eliminates the need to idle truck and

accessories in the cab or sleeper compartment. The 
TriPac consumes up to 85 percent less fuel than diesel

much time a truck spends idling and other factors, 
customers can gain a full return on their investment 
to purchase the technology within 18 months through 
savings in energy costs alone.
Smitheld Transportation Co. and its Packerland
Transport subsidiary have purchased close to 200 TriPac
units to reduce engine idling by tractor eets.
“Before TriPac, we were
averaging 40 to 50 percent
idle time. Now, we’ve reduced
idle time to basically nothing.

With ever-mounting pressures on the energy grid, 
more companies are turning to onsite electricity 
generation, also known as distributed generation (DG) 
technologies, as a source of environmentally friendly 
alternative energy.
Ingersoll Rand, through its Energy Systems business, 
is a leading pioneer of microturbines, the cleanest-
burning type of combustion DG technology. 
Microturbines combine a gas-turbine engine, 
recuperator and generator as an integrated system 
that converts fuel into electricity and thermal energy. 
Ingersoll Rand microturbines, which are available 
in 70-kilowatt and 250-kilowatt models, have been 
engineered to produce electricity from a wide range 
of fuels, such as methane waste gases that emanate 
from landlls and wastewater treatment plants, and 
high-energy associated gases generated during oil 
production.
Ingersoll Rand microturbines also can harness and use 
thermal heat produced during energy generation. This 
heat can be circled back into the generator to promote 
its efciency, as well as to heat water and power other 
onsite processes. Combined heat and power (CHP) 
applications can be as much as 50 percent more energy 
efcient than conventional energy generation systems.
Microturbines are also a source of interest in 
developing regions of the world, particularly in Asia. 
China, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and 
Singapore have begun to implement DG policies 
that favor the use of technologies that enhance 
power reliability, reduce energy costs, and improve 
environmental conditions.
The city of Shanghai, China, for instance, has 
implemented a policy supporting high-efciency CHP 
projects. The government will allow connection to the 
grid, provide gas price subsidies, and reduce import 
duties for qualied projects. In 2006, Ingersoll Rand 
became the rst DG company to receive grid-parallel 
permitting from the government with a microturbine-
based CHP project at the Minhang Industrial Estate.
An Ingersoll Rand microturbine-powered installation 
received a 2005 CHP Partnership certicate of 
recognition from the US Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). The CHP system is used in high-rise 
apartment buildings for regulating electric and hot 
water demands. The CHP system is powered by an 
Ingersoll Rand natural gas-red microturbine. Heat 
recovered from the microturbine’s exhaust and lube oil-
cooling circuit is used to produce hot water. The system 
reduces carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 100 
tons per year.
The Ingersoll Rand 250-kilowatt microturbine system 
became the rst microturbine to be certied as 
complying with the California Air Resource Board’s 
2007 emissions standards for DG technologies. 
Compared with a typical utility scale power plant 
generating the same amount of electricity, the 
microturbine reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides by 
more than two tons 
annually.

Ingersoll Rand Air Solutions is the rst manufacturer in 
the world to be certied Class 
Zero for centrifugal air 
compressors. Concurrently, Ingersoll Rand has received 
Class Zero certication in their oil free rotary screw line 
of compressors.  The certications were granted to the 
entire range of Ingersoll Rand air-cooled and water-
cooled oil-free rotary screw compressors (37 to 350kW) 
and water-cooled, oil-free centrifugal air compressors 
(160 to 5000 kW) by TÜV Rheinland®, an independent 
testing and assessment agency. 
The most stringent of all ISO 8573.1 classications, 
Class 
Zero certication was added in 2001 in response 
to critical applications where air purity is essential, such 
as the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, electronics 
and textiles industries. The certication recognizes 
compressors that discharge air free of added oil 
aerosols, vapors and liquids. 
“The rigorous tests performed by TÜV Rheinland show 
our commitment to providing best-in-class equipment 
for our customers,” said Eric Seidel, General Manager 
for Ingersoll Rand Industrial Air Solutions Business 
Unit. “The Ingersoll Rand Class 
Zero solution means 
lower operating costs, improved productivity and risk 
avoidance.
With maintenance expenses comprising a signicant 
percent of lifecycle cost, Ingersoll Rand oil-free 
centrifugal and rotary screw air compressors enable 
plants to better manage operating costs, minimizing 
the need for coolant oil, inline lters and oil / air 
separator components. By eliminating the risk 
of compressor-created contaminants, air system 
components last longer and ensure higher quality air. 
Ingersoll Rand oil-free technology also helps 
companies avoid risk. Oil-contaminated air can spoil 
and ruin products, creating signicant losses of 
revenue and customer trust. High-quality air reduces 
liability and the potential of product recalls.  
Certied Class 
Zero air compressors deliver consistently 
clean air to critical applications. By providing pure 
air, free from additional contaminants, Ingersoll Rand 
compressors minimize downtime associated with 
cleaning lters and other air system components. 
Oil-free technology increases productivity and ensures 
higher overall product quality.
Ingersoll Rand oil-free rotary screw and centrifugal 
air compressors also help manufacturers comply with 
environmental standards such as ISO 14001 and EU 
requirements. Because the compressors are oil-free, 
manufacturers do not encounter disposal issues with 
waste oil and ltration components. Disposal of air 
compressor condensation can also be an issue in 
lubricated compressors. By creating a clean condensate 
that is easier to dispose, oil-free compressors don’t 
require special treatment for oil and water mixtures.

Given the increase in energy prices and heightened

called IQ Plus, provides power and performance similar 
to gasoline-powered engines. Benets of the system, 
compared to earlier electric drive vehicles, include 
longer range, increased top speed, better hill climbing 
ability, more customization of settings, and improved

reliability versus a gasoline-powered car with faster 
charge times that equate to fewer recharges to operate

Club Car has also created a Carryall utility vehicle 
with the ability to run electric-powered outdoor

In addition, Club Car provides comprehensive energy

ThefollowingelementsofourESH

Management Commitment—Werequire
strongleadership,support,andparticipation
bymanagersatalllevelsforourESHpolicy

Communication—Wecommunicatetoour

Measurement—ThroughourESHcouncils,
wemeasurecriticalESHparameters,such
asemissions,wastegeneration,recycling
efforts,energyusage,waterusage,and
frequencyandseverityofworkplace

operatingdepartmentorbusinessunitis
accountableforaddressingtheevaluation

Ingersoll Rand is working 
to better integrate ESH into 
the company’s business 
decisions and practices. For 
example, we are rolling out a 
new enterprisewide Business 
Operating System (BOS), 
which will yield benets that 
extend beyond nancial

a safer work environment by

BOS will drive nancial and 
ESH benets for the company.
Ingersoll Rand has identied 
six Enterprise Focus Areas 
(EFAs) to support BOS. 
Our strategy is to focus on 
Global Leadership, World

be provided for each EFA

innovative program launched 
an ESH competition for the 
families of all employees 
to celebrate 250,000 hours 
worked without incident. 
The competition catered to 
all ages and included a road 
safety coloring competition, 
a bicycle safety quiz, and 
an ESH crossword puzzle. 
Employees also received a 
special edition ESH newsletter 
that explained safety metrics, 
behavior, and culture, and 
outlined key information and 
achievements. 
The competition was just 
one tool used by the facility 
to promote a safety culture 
across all levels. The plant 
is also incorporating several 
best practices, including 
daily and weekly safety and 
housekeeping walkabouts 
and audits, weekly ergonomic
