Portable electric compressors produce zero emissions
Kaeser Kompressoren
As an alternative to diesel units, this company has recently added electric-powered portable compressors (photo) to its family of M27, M31 and M50 compressors. These portable units are powered by motors rated at 15–25 kW, and provide flowrates ranging from 2 to 5 m 3 /min for pressures from 7 to 14 bars. For any site that has an available power hookup, these machines make economic sense, says the company, because electricity is generally less costly than diesel fuel. An advanced Sigma Control Smart controller and the company’s patented Anti-Frost Control system ease setup and operation and provide protection from frost and corrosion. Both mobile and stationary versions are available. — Kaeser Kompressoren SE, Coburg, Germany
