System layout Working air Smart with add-on dryer: How it works Rotary screw compressor Rotary screw compressor with integrated dryer The air for compression passes through the intake filter (1) and the inlet valve (2) into the SIGMA PROFILE airend (3). The airend (3) is driven by a high-efficiency electric motor (4). The cooling oil injected for cooling purposes during the compression process is re-separated from the air in the fluid separator tank (5). The compressed air flows through the 2-stage oil separator cartridge (6) and the minimum pressure check valve (7) into the compressed air aftercooler...

High-performance desiccant dryer Everything under control Dependable control air is needed around the clock, 365 days a year. Energy efficiency is therefore of key importance when it comes to technical marine operations. Every kilowatt hour (kWh) consumed has to be “bought at high cost” in the form of fuel prices, fuel processing and energy conversion. However, KAESER rotary screw compressors save energy in a variety of ways: Equipped with flow-optimised SIGMA PROFILE rotors, the airend is actively managed by the SIGMA CONTROL 2 compressor controller. This advanced controller matches compressed...
