A new compressor series for high-pressure requirements
The air-cooled Orkan series (photo) comprises oil-lubricated piston compressors and gas compressors of up to 110 kW for final pressures of up to 500 barg. Booster solutions with inlet pressures of up to 16 barg are also covered. The Orkan series is based on a modular system, and various designs are ready for handling special requirements. There are hermetically gas-tight and explosion-proof versions for helium, natural gas and hydrogen. In the hermetically gas-tight compressors, the company uses a new type of magnet coupling for the first time. It not only guarantees absolute gas-tightness but is also extremely low-maintenance and operates with maximum reliability. Another novelty of the Orkan series is the innovative cooling concept. The new CubeCooler enables re-cooling temperatures that are more than 30% lower than those of conventional cooler configurations, the company says. To achieve such a high cooling capacity, the coolers are arranged radially around the combined fan and flywheel. This cooling concept has already proven itself in the manufacturer’s medium-pressure Breeze series. — J.P. Sauer & Sohn Maschinenbau GmbH, Kiel, Germany
