Bauer I 23 450/30

The Bauer Bauer I 23 450/30 is a high-pressure starting-air compressor. It is normally installed in the engine room connected to starting-air receivers through coolers, drains and non-return valves. It is designed for charging the stored-air system used to start main and auxiliary diesel engines. The operating principle relies on multi-stage or other approved compression of atmospheric air to the receiver pressure selected for the vessel. The supplied entry states the pressure designation as 30 bar; this information is retained unchanged. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are delivery, final pressure, number of stages, cooling arrangement and drive; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on stage temperatures/pressures, valves, coolers, drains, oil carryover, unloaders and automatic control. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
