Naval know-how for
the world market

More than 53 of the world’s navies rely on Sauer Compressors in their aircraft
carriers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes, patrol boats, submarines and mine hunters.

In the naval sector, Sauer is an established name as it is the world

market leader for high-pressure compressors. However, the company’s
compressors impress not only on water but also on land. They are used
in a variety of defense contexts such as naval ports, air-force bases, and
by ground troops. Highly flexible, Sauer compressors are available with
a range of design options, whether you are simply looking for a particular
color scheme or require certification in accordance with military WP5000
standards.

Navies appreciate special design features such as:

v easy maintenance and accessibility
v low noise signature
v high reliability
v low-weight, compact design

Based on the feedback of navies’ experience, Sauer’s know-how results in a steady stream of innovations,
e. g. the WP50 HPair compressor with its 10 % balanced free inertial forces.

More than 115 Destroyers and Frigates, More than 18 Aircraft Carriers, e.g. More than 730 Corvettes and Fast

Sauer compressors for the Navy are developed based on the philosophy that special de-
mands exist for the maritime market and especially for the navy market. This is
the reason that maritime and navy users require different solutions compared to industrial
applications.

Sauer compressors incorporate all special features which are vital for naval applications.
Constant innovation, such as the development of the WP50 range with 10 % balanced
free inertial forces, ensures the technical leadership necessary for future naval applications.

Every ship should have one
International shipping often has stringent requirements when it comes to
quality and reliability - Sauer’s traditional area of activity.

Our starting and working air compressors have more than proven their
reliability in this demanding market. Thanks to ongoing development, they
are among the most modern and most economic compressors in the world.

In particular, the 3-stage air-cooled starting air compressors provide a

significant contribution to the modern shipping concept compared to the
traditional 2-stage water-cooled compressors. Offering easy installation
and safe and reliable operation, Sauer has become one of the leading
suppliers of compressors for shipping and offshore technology.

Our quality sets the standard throughout the world.

2 STAGE
AIR-COOLED
STARTING AIR COMPRESSORS

The principle of air cooling is an international shipbuilding standard when it comes to starting air
compressors of less than 50 scfm. Back in the 50s, Sauer had already started the development of air
compressors in this capacity range as an alternative to water-cooled units, which are generally high
maintenance and more prone to failure.

Today, Sauer’s 2-stage air-cooled starting air compressors are among the most modern - and low -ma
nance compressors available worldwide. More than a thousand of these dependable compressors are deliv-
ered to our customers each year.

General advantages include:

v Low installation costs due to absence of cooling
water circuit

v Light-weight and less space required for installation

v High-performance valves, friction-free operation for

long maintenance intervals

v Integrated flexible coupling, low-maintenance

and safe
v Reliable and safe to operate in ambient

 Motion Compensation for Semi-submersible Rigs | 11 |

Deep water drilling requires a rigid connection between the platform/drill-ship and the
seabed. In order to keep on drilling in rough weather conditions, the movement of the derrick
on the platform needs to be compensated. This compensation is done by wire-line or direct
tensioning systems using hydraulic systems. In order to keep the hydraulic pressure stable
in the system, high-pressure air or gas is used.

Seismic air guns are used to find oil and gas beneath the seabed.Towed behind a vessel,
air guns release high-pressure air underwater generating seismic waves that reach the

Gas-turbine power plants,

combined heat power plants

In gas-turbine power plants, flammable gases are used to drive turbines connected to
generators which in turn produce electricity. In gas and steam combination power plants,
the heat generated by the gas turbines is also used to produce steam for the steam turbines.
Small gas power plants (combined heat power plants) use an internal combustion engine
instead of a turbine to drive the generator. These smaller plants are frequently used in order
to cover periods of peak demand within the electricity network.

INDUSTRY
In steam power plants, the thermal energy contained in water vapor is used to power a
steam turbine, which drives the generator. In the process, conventional fuels such as oil,
natural gas, hard coal, or brown coal are used to fire the steam boiler. In coal-fired power
plants, coal is the only fuel used, whereas waste incineration facilities can also use treated
waste to generate electricity.

Laser metal cutting

The cutting of metals with the help of a laser has replaced traditional mechanical methods
and offers clear advantages. The laser environment must be free from ambient air if an
optimum cut is to be achieved. To ensure that this is the case, nitrogen is used. Nitrogen is
preferably produced on-site using the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process.This allows
companies to eliminate their dependence on gas suppliers. Following the PSAprocess,
Sauer compressors are used to boost the nitrogen to pressures of up to 6,0 psig.
The higher pressure offers particular advantages as it enables large amounts of gas which
are normally sufficient for a number of days to be stored quickly. Not only do users benefit
from greater operational reliability, they do not need to operate their compressor for such
long periods, reducing energy costs. In addition, far less equipment is required upstream
when higher pressures are used.

The fact that modern manufacturing procedures speed up processes and are therefore more

Working together with our customers, we develop innovative, integrated system solutions,
e. g. systems which allow you not only to supply a process with gases but also to remove
them again and store them for use in the next step. Users also benefit from the particularly

Research institutions and universities

Many universities, as well as state and private research institutions, carry out extremely demand-

time and extended experimental periods reduce competitiveness and waste funds that have been
allocated for research purposes. In helium recovery and liquefaction, Sauer compressors can
optimize the process – with a maximum leakage rate of just 0.1 mbar x l / s.Their economical - de
sign is ideal for supersonic and hypersonic tests in wind tunnels and/ or vehicle crash test
applications that require high volumes in an extremely short period. Sauer saves time and reduc-

meet ever-increasing safety demands. Thankfully, the use of Sauer’s medium and high-pressure
compressors can help in both of these areas.The costs of running aircraft fleets can be minimize
