High-performance reciprocating compressors N-series boosters

Your ticket to high-pressure performance

N-series boosters augment your existing system pressure in specific locations, elevating it up to 45 bar. Kaeser offers an extensive range of high-performance booster reciprocating compressors that work in perfect harmony with Kaeser rotary screw compressors and SIGMA PET AIR stations.

The N-series boosters are available with one or two cylinders and operate within the following performance parameters:

  • Initial pressure up to 13 bar – discharge pressure up to 45 bar
  • Flow rate: 0.27 – 5.49 m³/min

Compared to designing the entire compressed air supply system for higher pressure, the use of boosters is significantly more cost-effective for all applications that require process air with a higher degree of compression than the normal control air and supply air at specific locations. PET bottle production is an excellent example of such applications.

Your advantages

  • Continuous high-pressure operation:
    Innovative features such as oil pressure lubrication and intensified cylinder cooling ensure both long service life and low maintenance requirements as well as continuous system-compatible maximum pressure of 45 bar.
  • Exceptionally low oil requirement:
    The high quality cylinders are plateau-honed and feature an extra layer of wear protection. These details ensure low oil consumption over the entire service life.
  • For especially cool compressed air:
    The compressed air aftercoolers on the three-cylinder boosters are equipped with separate fans, which ensure low compressed air discharge temperatures. The boosters can be additionally equipped with water-cooled aftercoolers to attain even lower temperatures.
Energy cost savings
Life-cycle costs

High-quality premium efficiency electric motors deliver unparalleled efficiency for remarkably low power consumption. Their low operating temperature provides an added advantage.

For lower demand

N 60 G to N 153 G boosters, air-cooled

The smaller models in this range are best suited to applications where low flow rates are needed at pressures up to 40 bar. These compressors are equipped with one- or two-cylinder compressor blocks and are driven by high efficiency motors with up to 4 kW capacity. The quality of these units is second to none as all compressor blocks are designed, manufactured and assembled by KAESER.

For medium to large demand

N 253 G to N 502 G boosters, air-cooled

When greater air flow rates are needed at pressures up to 45 bar then the mid-size and larger of the Kaeser booster models are the natural choice. At the heart of every one of these powerhouses is a precision machined two- or three-cylinder compressor block that delivers exceptional efficiency. Premium-efficiency electric drive motors up to 45 kW provide optimal energy efficiency (up to 18.5 kW: IE2, from 18.5 kW: IE3).
