Carnot Compression’s compressor uses a patented isothermal process to eliminate the problem of oil contamination. Our goal is to offer an oil-free alternative to traditional compressors, resulting in vast cost savings: We're on a mission to lower lifetime costs and provide higher reliability compared to other oil-flooded and oil-free compressors.
It has taken an innovative team to bring Carnot Compression to the next level. We wanted to highlight the individuals that make it happen!
