HPC KAESER's sophisticated compressed air master controllers require minimal effort for maximum and on-going energy efficiency gains
Analyse In Real Time
The algorithms in the adaptive 3-D advanced control orchestrates the interplay between all components and equipment within HPC KAESER compressed air systems. As a result, just the right amount of compressed air power is provided to suit the specific needs of the application. This in turn assures maximum efficiency at all times.
The unique adaptive 3-D advanced control continuously analyses the relationship between various parameters (e.g. switching and control efficiency) and pro-actively calculates the optimum combination from a range of many in order to achieve optimum efficiency.
Not only are starts and stops taken into consideration, but so are idling and frequency converter losses, together with pressure flexibility, too. Moreover, the compressed air system's pressure performance value is optimised and average pressure is reduced.
Optimisation Process
The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 calculates future demand based on past compressed air consumption profiles.
On the basis of this demand projection, the technical conditions of the components and the learned knowledge regarding the system and its behaviour, the patented simulation-based optimisation process is used to anticipate the most efficient switching operations.
HPC KAESER SIGMA Network
Industrial applications place special demands on communications technology, particularly in the field of machine-to-machine communication. It must be robust and locally manageable, as well as globally-compatible and also capable of transferring large data volumes quickly and securely. The system must also ensure maximum data integrity and provide the necessary real-time properties required by the process. The KAESER SIGMA NETWORK meets all these requirements and more.
Together with the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0, the HPC KAESER SIGMA NETWORK creates a perfectly matched secure infrastructure for intelligent services within the advanced scope of Industrie 4.0 operating environments. If required, operating data from the compressed air station can be securely transmitted to the HPC KAESER DATA CENTER via a broadband connection.
The combination of remote diagnostics and demand-oriented predictive maintenance ensures maximum compressed air supply availability and complete system effectiveness.
- Prevention of unplanned and planned downtime (malfunctions / maintenance) through evaluation of operating parameters, such as load operating hours and temperatures
- Increased energy efficiency through monitoring of key operating parameters such as airend discharge temperature, pressure dew point, differential pressures (filters), leakage rates, pressure and flow rate
- Service costs reduced by up to 30% through optimised servicing and avoided repairs
- Demand-optimised compressed air system control throughout the system's entire life-cycle
