ABK AE 100 Series

The ABK ABK AE 100 Series 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 gives no additional verified capacity, pressure, power or dimensional figure for this model. 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.
