BSD – Eight decisive advantages
1 SIGMA PROFILE airend
A specific drive power can be used to turn a smaller airend at high speed or
a larger airend at slow speed. Larger, low speed airends are more efficient,
delivering more compressed air for the same drive power. That is why KAESER
developed airends especially for the BSD series that precisely match the individual
drive power and motor speed of each machine in the range. The slightly higher
investment cost of the larger airend is quickly recovered by the energy saved during
operation.
2 Energy-saving 1:1 drive
The advantages of the 1:1 drive system are not just limited to the elimination of
transmission losses: The motor and airend are joined by the coupling and its
housing to form a compact and durable unit that, apart from greasing of the motor
bearings, requires no regular maintenance. Should the coupling ever need to be
rpm replaced, it takes just a few minutes without any disassembly of the unit, as the

29 opening in the housing is more than large enough to replace the two coupling
D
BS
sections. Furthermore, the low airend speed of 2960 rpm in BSD units ensures
maximum efficiency and durability, which in turn leads to reduced compressed air
costs.
3 Innovative radial fan
Quiet and efficient – these are the most important features of a radial fan. Low
peripheral speed means low noise. Power consumption is up to 50 percent lower
than a comparable axial fan. Another advantage is the high residual thrust (stable
curve) that allows the use of exhaust ducting with a pressure drop of up to 60 Pa
without the need for an additional extractor fan.
4 Efficient cooling system
In addition to improved cooling efficiency, the system has further benefits to
offer: The inside of the cabinet remains clean because surrounding air is drawn
through the cooler into the cooler box and then exhausted directly upward out of
the machine. Dirt particles in the cooling air collect mainly on the air intake side
of the cooler, on BSD units that means outside the cabinet. Any dust or particle
build-up is therefore easily noticed and quickly cleaned off without the need for any
dismantling work. Operational reliability is improved and the need for maintenance
work is significantly reduced.
5 Optimised oil separation system
BSD machines are fitted with a new, highly efficient separator system. The cooling
fluid is initially separated from the compressed air by centrifugal force in the
separator tank. Only a minimal amount of fluid remains to be removed by the high
capacity, deep-bed filter in the separator cartridge. These two factors double the
operational life of the cartridge compared with conventional systems and ensure
minimum aerosol content in the compressed air delivery (< 1 mg/m3). The improved
air quality eases the burden on the downstream air treatment components and the
optional filter pressure drop monitoring set further enhances efficient operation.
6 Synthetic coolant
The synthetic cooling medium SIGMA FLUID makes possible an extension of
the fluid change interval to over 6000 hours. Nevertheless, as a preventative
protection measure for your equipment, we strongly recommend that a fluid
analysis be carried out after 6000 operating hours due to the varied nature of
environmental and intake conditions. Due to its lower vapour pressure, less
SIGMA FLUID is consumed in comparison with mineral oils and its reduced
tendency to emulsify makes condensate treatment and disposal easier and less
expensive. SIGMA FLUID therefore not only helps reduce service costs but also
increases reliability.
7 Easy maintenance
All models feature high quality, durable components that are positioned logically
and contribute to the outstanding performance and reliability of these compressor
packages. Component accessibility is made simple through wide opening
doors, easy lift off panels and a sensible design that ensures unrivalled ease of
maintenance. The rear and left side of BSD units can be positioned right next to a
wall to maximise use of space.
8 SIGMA CONTROL
Based on robust PC architecture, the SIGMA CONTROL offers the possibility
of Dual, Quadro, Vario and Continuous control. Clearly marked navigation and
input keys on the user interface are used to move around within the menu options
of the four line alpha-numeric display. This powerful compressor controller can
also display information in any 1 of 30 selectable languages at just the press
of a button. ­The SIGMA CONTROL automatically controls and monitors the
compressor package. The Profibus interface enables exchange of data and
operational parameters allowing the SIGMA Control to communicate with other air
management systems such as the SIGMA Air Manager. Interfaces are provided
as standard for connection of a modem, a second compressor in base-load
sequencing mode and for connection to data networks (Profibus DP).
