The compressor units are complete units for filling tanks in
the pressure range 200 bar (2,900 psi) and/or 300 bar
(4,300 psi), or 420 bar (6,000 psi), respectively. They are
used mainly to compress air for breathing as required in
diving and fire fighting applications.
The breathing air compressor units are available in two
housing types:
The V series in the open housing
The V series in the Super-Silent housing
The open units can be upgraded to a Super-Silent version
at any time.
The noise level of the Super-Silent units is 69 dB(A) 2 dB(A)
in 1 m distance (according to DIN 45635).
All units are equipped as standard with filter system P61,
TÜV approved final pressure safety valve and manual con
densate drain valves.
Optionally, as described in the following chapters, the units
can be delivered with an integrated filling panel with four
