Kaeser Compressors CN C series boosters

Kaeser Compressors has announced its latest generation of boosters, which cover the 7.5 to 22 kW drive power range. The CN C series booster models are said to be energy-efficient, complete and compact turnkey systems that are suitable wherever high-pressure compressed air is required, such as PET bottle production, process air applications and nitrogen generation.

The series produces flow rates from 0.8 to 8 m³/min, initial pressure from 3 to 13 bar and final pressure from 10 to 45 bar.

All application-relevant components are provided and configured ex works for delivery of a complete turnkey system that is ready for immediate operation. With a footprint of 1.9 m², they are compact and keep the space requirement to a minimum. They are also built within a sound enclosure that keeps sound pressure levels down to as little as 71 dB(A).

The boosters feature separate cooling airflows for the compressor block, drive motor and control cabinet, which are taken in through openings in the right-hand side of the enclosure. Once they have been used for cooling, the streams are combined, then blown up and out through the exhaust air outlet in the top of the enclosure. This design prevents cool inlet air from mixing with warm exhaust air for enhanced efficiency.
