Description
Performance Verification Program
Energy efficiency has been tested and confirmed by an independent laboratory as part of the Compressed Air and Gas Institute’s Rotary Screw Compressor Performance Verification Program. Kaeser compressors are up to 30% more efficient than some competitors’ models. See our CAGI data sheets.
The energy-saving Sigma Profile airend Energy-saving one-to-one drive Sigma Control 2 Premium efficiency drive motor Split cooling design Integral Moisture Separator A moisture separator is integrated into the stainless steel discharge piping. This unique design maximizes separation with minimal pressure loss. A zero loss Eco-Drain is standard to automatically remove the captured moisture. Electronic Thermal Management System The innovative Electronic Thermal Management system dynamically regulates fluid temperature to avoid internal condensation build-up, eliminating a common cause of lubricant degradation. Heat Recovery Ready Compressing air converts the electrical energy you pay for into heat. The ASD to CSD series are available with a heat recovery option to easily recover up to 76% of this energy. You can harness addtional heat recovery by ducting exhaust air. In all, 9% of input energy is recovered as heat. The ASD series can come ready to be connected to an internal plate-type heat exchanger; The BSD and CSD seris can be connected to an external heat exchanger or they can come with internal stainless steel plate type heat exchangers.
Single-stage, flooded rotary screw airends deliver pressures up to 217 psig and feature the power-saving Sigma profile design. Airends are precision-machined and optimized in size and profile to mtach the airend speeds with their best specific performance. Unlike the competition, Kaeser Compressors makes many different airends so that we can apply them at their optimal speed and performance.
The motor is directly connected to the airend with a one-to-one coupling, providing maximum transmission efficiency. This true direct drive eliminates complex gear drive components, along with heat and power losses. It is also maintenance free, increasing reliabilty and uptime.
The compressor control system features an industrial-based PC with update capabilities, Intel® microprocessor, and real-time operating system. Pre-loaded control profiles are available to precisely match compressor performance to air demand. A convenient SD card slot enables easy software upgrades and stores key operational parameters to minimize service costs, provide back-up capability, and offer long-term data storage for trending and analysis purposes.
Premium efficiency TEFC motors with class F insulation for extra protection from heat and contaminants. 460 or 575V 3-phase, 60 Hz. Other voltages are available.
Two separate cooling air inlet zones for the coolers and drive motor ensure optimum cooling. Drawing ambient air directly across the coolers and motor through separate zones eliminates pre-heating and results in longer lubricant life and a cooler running motor. This also results in much lower approach temperatures, improving moisture separation and air quality.
