    COMPRESSORS

    Single and Twin Cylinder

    High-performance compressors

    Technology
    s Significant reduction of power

    Proven design
    s Mono-block construction of the

    drainage during the off-load phase from the PR system (Power Reduction, 2nd generation) integrated into cylinder head
    s Lower temperatures of the delivered

    crankcase with excellent torsional resistance


    s Fully hardened steel crankshaft s Extended lifetime s Maintenance-free

    air from the TR system (Temperature Reduction, enhanced cooling capacity of cylinder head)
    s Protection against excessive pressure

    from the (optional) relief valve integrated into cylinder head

    Benefits of PR system
    s Power saving s Oil carry-over reduction s Temperature reduction during offload

    s Sliding leaf valves cover slots

    to additional dead volume (1-cyl.) / PR channel (2-cyl.) (4) 3 Offload phase:


    s PR line (1) pressurized with system

    phase
    s Scavenging of delivery line, prevents

    pressure by the air dryer


    s Piston at inner stop (5), actuating

    freeze-ups
    s Reduction of noise level

    both sliding leaf valves (2)


    s Sliding leaf valves open slots

    Operation of PR system
    Pump phase:
    s PR line (1) vented to atmosphere s Spring keeps the piston together

    s Valve seat is blocked by

    spring-loaded ball
    s If the pressure in the outlet cavity

    additional dead volume disconnected


    s Air passage via inlet and

    leaf valves
    s Air passes through compressor via

    outlet valves

    inlet and outlet valves

    exceeds the preset value, the safety valve opens and releases the air back into the inlet chamber

    Offload position:
    s Sliding leaf valve opens slot to

    Offload position:
    s Sliding leaf valves connecting

    chamber (additional dead volume)


    s Additional volume leeds to lower

    PR channel to cylinders
    s Air flows back and forth between

    compression pressure
    s Reduced airflow for scavenging of

    both cylinders via PR channel


    s Reduced airflow for scavenging of

    delivery line (airflow split depending on ratio of dead volume and swept volume)

    delivery line

    COMPRESSORS

    Temperature reduction (TR) system in single- and twin-cylinder compressors

    Design and operation


    The integration of an additional plate effectively enlarges the active cooling surface in the compressors cylinder head. The extended flow path and dwell time of the heated, compressed air in the cylinder head leads to a considerable reduction of temperature.
