Boge presents the
new PO (Piston Oil-free) range of modular, oil-free piston compressors, which
cover the power rating spectrum of 2.2 to 5.5 kW for 10 and 15 bar, and offer
numerous options for adapting to specific applications.
The full advantages of the new compressor range are
particularly evident in situations requiring smaller and more flexibly
available quantities of compressed air: the piston compressors perform
outstandingly when required to meet fluctuating compressed-air demands and are
designed to cope with numerous starts and stops during operation.
For the user, this means the compressors have no limitations
regarding permissible duty cycles and can be operated in continuous or
intermittent mode.
Thanks to the high precision engineering of the range, the
dead space at the cylinder head is minimised. The user therefore profits from a
significantly higher free air delivery rate, improved volumetric efficiency and
maximum operating efficiency.
The closed hood design of the compressors is intended to
ensure safety and dust protection. The cooling air inlet port is generously
dimensioned for maximum efficiency and to keep the components at a low
temperature.
The closed design of the lightweight and heat-resistant ABS
plastic hood not only significantly improves safety – the PO range complies
with EN 1012-1 “Compressors and vacuum pumps – Safety requirements” – but also
ensures a long service life and minimum wear. This is because the optimised
flow of air within the hood also reduces the temperature during operation.
