Energy efficiency is becoming ever more important for modern industry. Appropriate compressor system co-ordination and control, for example, can help users to tap into significant efficiency potential. Therefore, Kaeser developed the next generation Sigma Air Manager (SAM). Using its 3-D-Control, this powerful master controller and management system is able to reduce the compressed air system energy demand by analysing the three crucial dimensions that affect energy-efficient control within a compressed air station, namely:
- Switching losses associated with compressor start-up and shutdown
- Additional energy consumption for pressure increases above the required pressure and
- Control losses resulting from idling and FC losses
The SAM constantly analyses the relationship between these factors, calculates the best possible result and controls the compressors accordingly to maintain maximum efficiency at all times.
