KAESER Sigma ProfileDeveloped by KAESER and continuously enhanced ever since, the KAESER Sigma Profile achieves power savings of up to 15 percent compared with conventional screw airend rotor profiles. All KAESER rotary screw airends feature this energy-saving rotor profile and are designed to ensure maximum energy efficiency. The generously-sized, precision-aligned roller bearings and close-tolerance machining guarantee long service life and outstanding reliability.
Energy saving controllers: SIGMA ControlThe SIGMA Control automatically regulates and monitors the compressor. It is a robust PC-based industrial computer with real-time operating system and update capability. System operating status can be viewed at a glance via user-friendly ‘traffic light’ LEDs. The four-line plain text display, touch keys and icons ensure ease of operation. In case of an alarm the safety shutdown sequence immediately switches the compressor off. The SIGMA Control offers the possibility of Dual, Quadro and Vario Control modes and the most efficient mode can be determined directly on site using the programmable compressor duty cycle display feature. Interfaces are provided as standard for connection of a modem, a second compressor in base load sequencing mode
Energy-saving 1:1 driveThe motor and airend are joined by the coupling and its housing to form a compact and durable unit that is virtually maintenance-free. Furthermore reliability and service life are increased through elimination of wear and transmission losses, as 1:1 drive reduces the number of components needed in comparison with gear drive.Low speed operationLarge, low speed airends are more efficient than small high speed airends because they supply more air for the same drive power. Low speeds mean less wear and consequently less maintenance costs.
Powerful radial fanThe quiet and powerful radial fan draws in cool ambient air through the cooler. Its high residual thrust can deal with partial clogging of the cooler and still have enough reserve to allow connection of a long exhaust duct. In addition, the radial fan consumes significantly less drive power than conventional axial fans, saving even more energy.
Sigma Air ManagerCompressed air offers significant energy-saving potential – firstly through the selection of high-efficiency components and secondly, and perhaps most importantly, through systematic optimisation of the entire compressed air system. On average, savings of up to 30 percent can be achieved. For that reason compressed air plays a key role in any energy management system.
As a powerful all-in-one master control system, the Sigma Air Manager not only enhances efficiency of the compressed air system as a whole, but also enables detailed documentation of compressed air and energy consumption through the use of its Sigma Air Control Plus auditing and documentation software. Able to continuously update all necessary data, this advanced system is the perfect tool for performing annual inspection and certification of energy management systems in accordance with EN 16001.
