¹ Measured with cylinder filling (10 l) from 0 to 200 bar, ±5%

Details & Features

The KAP-DAH series is designed for maximum independence and high filling performance - perfect for operations in remote regions. A robust diesel engine and premium stainless steel components ensure operational reliability even under extreme envrionmental conditions. The electronic control system continuously monitors all operating parameters. The space-saving horizontal design allows for easy maintenance and is perfectly suited for field use, shipboard installations, or deployment by aid organizations worldwide.

Compressor block

Our compressor blocks are based on decades of experience and development. An efficient air cooling system with large coolers and finned cylinders ensures optimal cooling. Robust industrial roller bearings, pressure lubrication, and fine oil filters minimize wear. Dynamically balanced drive units ensure smooth operation and long maintenance intervals.

P 61 Purification system

The P 61 Purification system with oil and water separator as well as pressure-retaining non-return valve ensures reliable breathing air in accordance with DIN EN 12021:2014¹ when using original BAUER filter cartridges. A type-tested, sealed final pressure safety valve guarantees high operational safety. The processable air volume is 2,400 m³.

¹ Applies with proper maintenance, installation according to the operating manual, and use of the BAUER B-AEROGUARD if the CO₂ concentration exceeds the standard limits.

P 81 Purification system

The P 81 Purification system with oil and water separator as well as pressure-retaining check valve enables reliable breathing air purification in accordance with DIN EN 12021:2014¹ when using original BAUER filter cartridges. A sealed safety valve ensures high operational safety. The processable air volume is 5,200 m³.

¹ Applies when properly maintained and with the use of the B-AEROGUARD in case of elevated CO₂ levels.

Compressor control

The electrical control with monitoring electronics shuts down the compressor at final pressure, records operating hours and oil pressure, displays the current status, and features phase sequence monitoring.

B-DRAIN automatic condensate drain

The B-DRAIN condensate drain automatically discharges the water-oil mixture from the intermediate and final separators. Solenoid valves control the discharge individually and reliably. The gentle, controlled condensate release reduces pressure losses, saves energy, and increases efficiency. Compared to conventional solutions, B-DRAIN operates significantly more quietly.

Options

First-stage separator

For operation in humid ambient air, such as in tropical regions or when handling moist gases, a separator is recommended after the first compression stage. It reliably discharges the increased amount of condensate and minimizes its entry into the compressor oil.

Filling device

The filling device consists of a flexible "UNIMAM" high-pressure filling hose and a filling valve with a final pressure gauge. The gauge allows easy reading of the filling pressure and is reliably protected against damage by a robust rubber coating.
