Compressed Air Best Practices - September 2008 - (Page 62) | 09/08 Compressed Air Industry FOOD PACKAGING & PROCESSING | RESOURCES FOR ENERGY ENGINEERS PRODUCT PICKS Direct Drive Air Compressors Kaeser Compressors has announced their direct drive series. Designed for efficiency, reliability and minimal maintenance, these units are available from 25 to 450 horsepower (hp), in flows from 72–2003 cfm and pressures to 217 psig. Kaeser’s compressors feature the optimized Sigma Profile air end, patent-pending Sigma Control and the latest one-to-one direct drive technology. True direct drive compressors — with an oversized air end connected directly to the motor via a maintenance-free coupling for “zero-loss” transmission efficiency. Kaeser’s unique cooling air flow design significantly reduces noise levels and provides superior cooling. Plus, all units are fitted with a redesigned, high-efficiency separator system for extremely low oil-carryover — perfect for instrument and bulk air needs.

These units have undergone and passed independent testing to verify the accuracy of stated Boge performance specifications as part of the CAGI Performance Verification Program. Boge America, Inc. has recently joined the CAGI Performance Verification Program. Developed by the member Companies of CAGI, the program provides an industry-wide uniform verification process by which manufacturers of rotary screw compressors can verify the accuracy of technical performance data published on CAGI data sheets and within literature. Recognizing the reliance that compressed air users have on the accuracy of data provided by each manufacturer, member Companies of CAGI developed the Performance Verification Program. Participation is voluntary and open to CAGI member and non-member manufacturers of lubricated rotary screw compressors from 50 to 200 hp. As a participant, a test sample of Boge’s equipment was recently tested by the Program Administrator — Intertek Testing Services — to verify that the certified published performance ratings are in fact accurate. The Boge equipment successfully passed the Verification Test and all related CAGI Data Sheets, product literature and the actual products will now carry the CAGI Program Verification Seal. Like other participating manufacturers, Boge America, Inc. will be subject to annual tests on two randomly chosen units.
