Multi Compressors Controller - SmartAir Master Compressed air management system

SmartAir Master
Compressed air management system

Superior control solution with great energy saving potential

Compressed air systems typically comprise of multiple compressors delivering air to a common distribution system. The combined capacity of those machines is generally greater than the maximum site demand.

With CompAir's advanced demand responsive sequencer SmartAir Master, the efficiency of compressor stations with up to twelve compressors including downstream equipment can be maximised. Apart from the energy savings, the compressed air management system also contributes to decreased downtime, optimum performance, service and monitoring and ultimately leads to increased plant productivity.

A profitable investment

Up to 35% energy savings can be achieved by implementing a central SmartAir Master multi-compressor controller.
  • Harmonises the workload of up to 12 fixed or regulated speed compressors
  • Eliminates energy waste by tightening the network pressure to the narrowest pressure band
  • Equalises the running hours for economic servicing and increased uptime

Versatile control functions

The SmartAir Master sequencer calculates the system demand and selects the most suitable compressor combination to meet exactly the plant requirements, which in turn offers significant energy savings.
Unlike conventional control systems, further equipment such as dryers, filters and condensate drains can be included, ensuring the complete compressed air system works at optimum performance.

Decoding the Duty Cycle Rating of Piston Compressors

Selecting the correct air compressor for your application can be a complicated process. Before making a purchase, operators need to specify the quality and amount of air their application requires. Each compressor technology (rotary, piston, centrifugal, etc.) has an optimal flow output, so users should choose compressor technology based on the compressed airflow requirement of their application. Some compressors, like rotary screw and centrifugal, are designed to run continuously at full speed while maintaining peak airflow (defined in cubic feet per minute, or CFM). The motors and cooling systems of these compressors are engineered to run 100 percent of the time without overheating. However, this isn’t true for all compressors. Piston compressors do not have the cooling capabilities to run continuously for extended periods of time. Therefore, each piston compressor must have a specified flow output and pressure, as well as the perc…

Did you buy the wrong type of compressed air dryer?

Do you have a desiccant compressed air dryer in your plant?
Yes?
Do you know the annual running cost of that dryer?
It's plugged into a power socked, so it probably uses a bit of electricity… and you need to replace the desiccant every so many years. Right?
True!
But for many types of desiccant air dryers, there's a hidden cost… and it is substantial!
In fact, the yearly cost will probably SHOCK you!
The culprit?
Purge air!
Purge air is air that is used to regenerate the desiccant. (the desiccant needs to be regenerated every few hours, to remove the water that it previously absorbed).
There are 2 main types of desiccant dryers:
Heated blower regenerated
This type uses an external blower and heater to regenerate the desiccant.

It requires only electricity (around 1 kW for every m3/min of compressed air).
Purge regenerated
This type doesn't use electricity to regenerate the desiccant...
Great, right! 
No! 
It uses precious compressed air!!!
This compressed air flow is between 10 and 20% of na…

Splash and Pressure Lubrication in Piston Compressors
Piston compressors have been around for centuries. They can be either oil-injected or oil-free, depending on the application and end use. In oil-injected models, the oil typically serves three crucial purposes: cooling, sealing and lubricating. But not all oil-injected piston compressors lubricate components the same way. There are two common methods of lubricating the pump in piston compressors: splash and pressure lubrication.

Splash lubrication In splash lubrication, oil is applied to the cylinders and pistons by rotating dippers on the connecting-rod bearing caps. Each time they rotate, the dippers pass through an oil-filled trough. After running through the oil trough, the dippers splash oil onto the cylinders and pistons to lubricate them. While splash lubrication is effective for smaller engines and pumps, it’s not a precise process. Parts of the pump may be insufficiently oiled or oiled too much. The amount of oil in the trou…
