Compressor blocks
General
The compressor blocks are particularly suitable for continu
ous operation because of their rugged design and the
corrosion resistant intermediate filter and cooler assem
blies. Smooth running is a particular feature of this BAUER
design. The balance of masses of the 1st rank is zero. The
moving parts of the driving gear are all equally balanced.
This results in a vibration-free running.
The driving gear is fitted with energy saving cylinder roller
bearings. The upper and lower connecting rod bearings are
also roller bearings. This allows for an even longer life which
lasts at least 30,000 operating hours.
Compressor block IK12.14
The compressor block IK12.14 is used to compress air in
the high pressure range up to 420 bar (6,090 psi).
The compressor block is of a four stage, three cylinder
design. The cylinders are arranged in a W form, the 1st/2nd
stage vertical stepped cylinder in the centre, 3rd stage on
the right, and 4th stage on the left side looking from the
filter side.
The design of the compressor block is shown in Fig. 7.For
the mode of operation refer to the flow diagram in sec. F.
