Lower costs per meter

When drilling at a pressure of 30 - 35 bar, you can achieve more meters drilled per hour at a lower total cost per meter. Drilling depths of 500 meters per day can be achieved with the DrillAir Y 35.

Sustainable

The DrillAir is suitable for sustainable projects thanks to its compliance with Stage IV emission guidelines.

Fuel efficient

The DrillAir Y 35 consumes less than 2.2 liters of fuel per meter drilled (depending on various operating parameters)

Wide range of operating pressures

The pressure can be set as required in the range between 15 and 35 bar - thanks to the Extended Pressure Range (XPR) technology, which makes it possible to drill faster and deeper. The compact and efficient DrillAir Y 35 reduces the time and cost of geothermal drilling, setting new standards in manual drilling efficiency.

Dynamic Flow Boost technology

With the integrated Dynamic Flow Boost technology, the flow rate can be increased from 34.8 to 39 m³/min (650 l/s), enabling faster flushing and refilling of the drill string and ultimately faster completion, saving up to 30 minutes a day.

The latest and cleanest technology

These compressors are equipped with an efficient Stage IV engine, helping to limit harmful emissions. Stage IV engines reduce particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions by 50 to 96% compared to previous models. The lower fuel consumption is an additional benefit.

To achieve these results, the exhaust aftertreatment system requires the addition of AdBlue® to the fuel: Atlas Copco Rental can assist you with fuel and AdBlue® management to keep your installation operational.

The **Atlas Copco DrillAir Y35** high-pressure compressor is used in a wide range of industries that rely on a powerful and reliable compressed air supply, especially in applications where high pressures and air volumes are required.

Here is a detailed description of the main industries that use this compressor:

1st **Water Well Drilling**

In the water well drilling industry, the DrillAir Y35 is used to reach deep water wells. Water wells can go hundreds of meters deep, and this requires a constant, powerful air supply to operate the drill pipe efficiently. With its high air flow and pressure, the Y35 enables the drilling of deep layers of rock. This is particularly important in regions with water-poor soils where deeper drilling is required.

 2 **Geothermal drilling**

Drilling deep geothermal wells is necessary for the utilization of geothermal energy. Geothermal systems require wells that often go several hundred meters deep to access hot geothermal sources. The Y35 provides the high pressure levels and air volumes necessary to drill into various ground layers, including rock. The ability to deliver consistent performance in extreme conditions makes it an ideal tool in the geothermal industry.

 3 **Oil and gas industry**

High-pressure compressors such as the DrillAir Y35 are also used in the oil and gas industry. Especially in exploration and production operations in difficult geological environments, a powerful source of compressed air is needed to drill efficiently. The DrillAir Y35 can help speed up the drilling process and reduce the total cost of ownership. Its mobility and efficiency make it ideal for use in remote exploration areas.

 4 **Mining and quarrying**

In the mining and quarrying industry, the DrillAir Y35 is critical in mine exploration and development. These industries often require deep drilling in solid rock, and the high compressed air output of the Y35 enables the use of percussion hammers and other heavy drilling equipment. The compressor is also used in blasting preparation, where precise and deep drilling is required.

 5 **Geotechnics**

The DrillAir Y35 is particularly useful in the field of geotechnical investigation and subsoil testing when investigating soil layers. Geotechnical drilling is necessary to determine the condition of the ground before constructing buildings, bridges or other infrastructure. High pressure is required here to carry out the drilling quickly and accurately, which in turn optimizes the construction process.

 6 **Pipeline and pipeline construction**

In the construction and maintenance of pipelines, especially for oil, gas and water, the DrillAir Y35 is used to support drilling operations for laying pipes through rocky or other difficult ground conditions. The compressor's high pressure and mobility enable fast and efficient drilling, reducing project time and costs.

7 **Core drilling and exploration drilling**

In exploration, especially in the search for minerals, metals and other raw materials, the DrillAir Y35 is used for core drilling. These drillings require high compressed air volumes and pressures in order to penetrate deep rock layers and take geological samples. The Y35 is ideal for providing the required air pressure for continuous drilling.

 8 **Tunneling and infrastructure projects**

The DrillAir Y35 is also used in tunnel construction and major infrastructure projects. When constructing subway shafts, road or rail tunnels, it is often necessary to provide large quantities of compressed air for drilling and blasting work. The high pressure of the Y35 ensures that drilling equipment is operated efficiently, improving the speed and accuracy of such work.

 9 **Offshore drilling**

The DrillAir Y35 is also used on offshore projects such as oil rigs and other marine drilling operations. Its ability to provide reliable and constant pressure even in harsh conditions makes it an excellent choice for use at sea. The mobility of the compressor is also an advantage, as it can be easily transported to platforms or drilling rigs.

---

 Summary of advantages for the industries:

- **High pressure and air flow**: For deep drilling and use of heavy machinery in demanding environments.

- **Fuel efficiency**: Low operating costs through optimized fuel consumption.

- Mobility**: Easy handling and transportation to remote or hard-to-reach areas.

- Versatility**: Use in a wide range of industries from water well drilling to complex infrastructure projects.

- Reliability in extreme conditions**: Robust design for use in difficult geological and climatic conditions.

The **Atlas Copco DrillAir Y35** is valued for its efficiency, flexibility and performance in these and other industries where high demands are placed on drilling processes.
