3 Stage Air-Cooled Compressors

Before the introduction of 3 Stage Air-Cooled Compressors, Air-cooled compressors used to be limited to 80 m³/h due to the high compression temperatures of over 250°C. This innovation led to reduced temperatures of under 170°C and making effective cooling by air possible.

Sauer offers two types of 3-stage air-cooled compressors which have become the industry standard in commercial shipping and lead the market through dependable quality and reliability.

Levante 3-stage Air-Cooled Starting-Air compressor

The Levante 3 Stage Starting Air Compressor has a compact design that allows it to easily fit into any engine room. Exclusively developed for the maritime industry the Levante has an extended capacity range of between 360 and 460 m³/h. With a highly efficient cooling arrangement, low vibrations due to superior mass balance and a state-of-the-art human interface, the Levante Air Compressor is a game-changing solution for the commercial shipping industry.

Passat 3-stage Air-Cooled Starting-Air compressor

A best seller for years, the Passat 3 Stage Air Compressor has high performance valves that mean long maintenance intervals and unmatched reliability.
