Yo u r A d v a n t a g e s a s a shipowner
Rising demands of the shipowners to reduce maintenance and crew costs were the reasons for Sauer & Sohn
less temperatures
to develop in the beginning of the 70ties starting-air compressors in 3-stage air-cooled design for shipboard
applications.
Due to the physical laws air is heated during compression. The final compression temperature is dependant
on the compression-ratio in each stage. By dividing up the total compression-ratio into 3 stages, lower
compression temperatures in the cylinders and valves can be achieved compared to 2-stage water-cooled
compressors.
... less temperatures
Due to the lower compression temperatures the thermal cracking of the lubricating oil will not be reached
less maintenance costs
and consequently the compressor valves will not be soiled by oil coke. Thus Sauer & Sohn can guarantee
maintenance intervals of 2,000 hours for the valves which reduce the maintenance costs compared to 2-stage
water-cooled compressors.
The reduced compression temperatures allow the use of standard mineral oil SAE 30 as it is used e. g. in
2- and 4-stroke diesel engines. The use of expensive synthetic oil ist not required for proper performance.
... less maintenance costs
T
By abolishment of the cooling water circuit with its flanges, packings, fittings and cooling water pumps
less installation costs
a higher reliability and an easier control and supervision of the compressors is achieved.
P
The simple way of cooling is also the reason for more and more shipyards to prefer air-cooled compres- M
sors. In addition to the fact that an auxiliary with less interfaces is installed, the weight and space is
®
smaller thus enabling lighter and less expensive foundations. The total ventilation of the ship has not to 1
be increased. The compressors have only to be taken into consideration in arrangement of the ventilation.
