Air System Controllers
Master Control Systems
The SIGMA CONTROL 2 (local intelligence) and SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 (central intelligence) controllers ensure efficient interplay between all components in your compressed air system. This is where you can achieve the biggest energy savings. The capabilities of an intelligent computer are needed to perform such a complex task. Its tasks:
- Ongoing reduction of energy consumption throughout the entire life cycle of the system (simulation-based calculation of the most efficient operation scenario)
- Control of individual components within a station
- Compressed air and compressed air cost management
- Communication between a wide range of system components
SAM 4.0 Sigma Air Manager
The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 compressed air management system monitors and controls all components within the compressed air supply system achieving maximum cost savings.
- Improved pressure stability and automatic matching of delivery according to fluctuating demand
- Continuous fine-tuning of system performance to ensure optimized energy efficiency
- Predictive Maintenance by Kaeser specialists prevents unplanned downtime.
Up to 16 Compressors
SAM – Adaptive 3-D-control
SAM’s adaptive 3-D-control detects switching losses (starts/stops), control losses (idling and FC losses) and pressure flexibility (average increase over required pressure), optimizes the ratios between these determining factors and minimizes the associated energy requirements. The average pressure is reduced and while pressure stability increases for maximum energy savings.
Remoting monitoring and control
If desired, SAM can be easily connected to via modem interface to one of Kaeser’s authorized service centers via SMS or a standard telephone line. This feature further enhances system reliability and decreases customer maintenance costs.
Integral web server
Using powerful industrial PC-based technology, SAM is an all-in-one master control system and an integral web server. This versatile system not only ensures energy-saving control, but also provides unrivalled transparency relating to key data such as operational status, energy consumption and compressed air system costs.
Built-in efficiency
SAM automatically ensures optimum energy consumption. Users benefit from outstanding energy efficiency and user-friendly operation – simply enter the required pressure and compressor performance data – the rest is done for you.
KFC Kaeser Flow Controller
1,000-15,000 cfm, 250 psig for standard models
The Kaeser Flow Controller (KFC) separates the supply side from the distribution system. Controllers create “real” storage within the receiver tank by accumulating compressed air without delivering it downstream. Total air consumption is reduced by virtually eliminating artificial demand and substantially reducing leakage. Stored compressed air is available to satisfy demand spikes without pressure drop or requiring stand-by compressors to engage.
KFCs can be installed easily in new or existing compressed air systems.
Important features and advantages:
- Maintains stable system pressure and reduces leakage losses
- Keeps tools and equipment operating at peak efficiency by eliminating overpressurization
- Saves energy by using stored compressed air instead of bringing stand-by compressors on-line for air demand spikes
