Booster control
Start-Stop-Control:
No electrical control box required, booster is switched to
full load / idle via a pressure switch with integrated overload protection.

Booster control
Idling control (Dual control), electric :
Only possible star-delta start.
Special Kaeser YΔ- control box necessary due to additional functions:

The following takes place when the cut-out pressure is reached:


- inlet valve closes, venting valve opens 
- drive motor runs further
- idle period timer will start
- pressure requirement during idling leads to a short
reaction time and refilling of net
- engine will switch off after sequence of idle period without pressure requirement
in interim time; when the net pressure falls till to cut-in pressure, the motor will
run again via YΔ- switching
Advantages:
- faster reaction time
- additional internal Booster cooling during idling
- high pressure side smaller air receiver possible

Influences on Booster performance
What influences the effective (FAD) of a Booster ?

Booster speed Booster inlet pressure:

Example: N 753-G 10/45 bar Example: N 753-G with 1100 rpm

FAD at 1100 rpm: 7,65 m³/min FAD at 10 bar: 7.65 m³/min

Motor airend performance: 30 kW Motor airend performance: 30kW

FAD at 990 rpm: 6,9 m³/min FAD at 9 bar: 6.75m³/min

Motor airend performance: 27 kW Motor airend performance: 29 kW
