Compressor Room Controller

ES 360 takes control

Efficient compressor management is the fastest way to achieve

energy savings. Using advanced control systems, you can
maximize energy savings by:
Regulating the system pressure within a predefined and narrow
pressure band to optimize energy efficiency.
Prioritizing the use of never and/or more economic machines over
older, less effective versions.
Promoting the use of VSD machines, because they are the most
energy efficient.
Assuring that multiple VSD compressors are used in their most
efficient performance zones when working together.
Scheduling shutdown to avoid costs during non-production hours.
Equalizing workload to avoid overloads on individual machines.
Reducing maintenance costs thanks to comprehensive, flexible
machine sequence control. The ES 360 system ensures that system
running hours are equal across all machines in the same group. As a
result all machines can be visited at the same time, requiring fewer
service visits.

(1) Energy savings & optimization: The ES controller can change the compressor mix and select a different combination to ensure
optimum productivity at the optimum energy usage.
(2) Ancillary control: The ES360 steers the ancillary equipment (fans) when high ambient temperature influences the performance of the
working compressors negatively.
(3) Valves and Dryers control: The ES Controller can open or close valves to change the direction of the air flow, and shut down or start
up different dryers to maintain the water content in the air flow to a minimum.
