Helping enhance energy efficiency

Available from HPC Compressed Air Systems, the HPC Kaeser 2nd generation Sigma Air Manager (SAM) with adaptive 3-D-Control can help users optimise the availability and energy efficiency of compressor and blower stations alike.

With a powerful industrial PC at its core, the SAM not only controls and monitors the system as a whole, it provides the user with a high degree of transparency of operations processes, energy consumption and costs. The latest version's adaptive 3- D-Control considers three factors that affect energy-efficient compressor control within a compressed air station: Switching losses associated with compressor start-up and shutdown Additional energy consumption for pressure increases above the required pressure Control losses resulting from idling and FC losses To ensure optimum performance, the SAM constantly analyses the relationship between these factors, calculates the best result and controls the compressors or blowers accordingly.
