The use of IE4 super premium efficiency motors (that comply with, and exceed Australian GEMS regulations for 3-phase electric motors) underlines Kaeser’s commitment to providing efficiency, to save energy and to assure compressor competitiveness,” Peter said. “IE4 motors are the technology of tomorrow, because current regulations introduced in January 2015 simply require the use of IE3 class motors. “Moreover, the Electronic Thermal Management system delivers additional energy advantages, as do the environmentally-friendly fluid filter and integrated Sigma Control 2 controller. “Electronic Thermal Management consistently controls the oil temperature within a constant, safe differential relative to the dew point (condensation temperature), which also helps avoid unnecessarily high screw compressor block discharge temperatures, thereby contributing to higher overall energy savings and extended service life. Future-ready with super-premium efficiency IE4 motors The latest generation of ESD series rotary screw compressors from Kaeser Compressors means end users can now enjoy even lower energy consumption for significant energy cost savings with the as standard super-premium efficiency IE4 motors. “Kaeser’s engineers have also equipped the new ESD series compressors with another small, but clever, detail to aid heat recovery. Amazingly, a compressor converts 100% of its input drive energy into heat, of which 96% can be recovered and used for heating purposes; the associated savings benefit is therefore huge. "With optional heat recovery equipment, a second Electronic Thermal Management system ensures optimum use of the heat energy that arises from the compression process. “For example, when all of the heat energy has been fed into the heat recovery system, the intelligent Sigma Control 2 controller recognises cooling is no longer required from the system cooler, so it deactivates the fan at the fluid cooler, which in turn leads to further energy cost savings. “The principles of resource conservation are also applied inside the compressor unit: the environmentally-friendly fluid filter elements sit in an aluminium housing, with no need for a sheet metal enclosure. The filter elements are completely free of metal, making disposal straightforward: at the end of their service life, they can be thermally disposed of without additional pre- treatment,” Peter said. “The advanced Sigma Control 2 compressor controller provides monitoring of the compressor and, if equipped, the frequency converter (SFC variable speed control option). It also enables the compressor to utilise networking solutions and allows straightforward connection to a master control system, such as the Sigma Air Manager 4.0, or to a control centre. “The ESD series rotary screw compressors are available with drive powers of 200 and 250kW and produce flow rates from 8.6 to 44.5m³/min, designed for pressures up to 15 bar.” Contact: 1800 640 611 or visit website: www.kaeser.com.au Kaeser’s new ESD series compressors provide higher flow rates and feature IE4 motors EQUIPMENT & CALENDAR
