Air Saver®
Efficiently reduce leakage losses and save on operating costs
Most compressed air piping systems suffer losses through leaking pipe connections, float drains, fittings, etc. The Air Saver® ensures that the air receiver is isolated from the piping system at the end of a working day. The Air Saver® is mounted on the compressed air outlet of the receiver and can be programmed to open automatically when work starts and close automatically after work ends. Using the Air Saver® is guaranteed to save compressed air users energy and therefore money.

Installation and operation
The AIR-SAVER is mounted directly on the air outlet of the receiver. In a typical compressed air system running around the clock, there are constant air losses through leaks such as pipe connections and float drains. The AIR-SAVER minimises these losses by automatically shutting off the air supply at the end of the working day, thus storing air in the receiver.
New technical improvements
The newly integrated control module makes the unit easier to program and offers improved visual features. A built-in weekly scheduler allows operation to be adapted flexibly to working hours, and the optional remote control allows operation even in hard-to-reach locations.
Further advantages
- In the event of a power failure, the valve can be opened or closed manually.
- No unnecessary compressor starts when no compressed air is needed, which significantly reduces the activity of the compressor, dryer and filters while the plant is closed.
- Daily savings of at least one receiver volume of generated compressed air.
- Option to isolate parts of the air piping network that do not need a constant compressed air supply.
- Built-in alkaline batteries keep the program even in the event of a power failure.
- Slow opening of the valve prevents pressure surges in the air network.
- The large LCD display shows the program cycle and the current time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Air Saver used for?
After working hours it isolates the air receiver from the pipework. This way no compressed air and no energy are lost through leaking connections, float drains and fittings.
Where is the Air Saver installed?
Directly at the compressed air outlet of the receiver.
How is the Air Saver controlled?
An integrated control module with a weekly timer opens the valve at the start of work and closes it automatically after work ends. Up to 100 switching operations per week are possible, and the shortest switching interval is one minute.
How much compressed air does the Air Saver save?
At least one receiver volume of generated compressed air per day. In addition, the compressor, dryer and filters run considerably less while the plant is closed.
What happens in the event of a power failure?
The valve can be opened or closed manually. Built-in alkaline batteries back up the programme.
Does opening cause pressure surges in the network?
No. The valve opens slowly and thus prevents pressure surges in the air network.
Which pressures and temperatures is the Air Saver suitable for?
For an operating pressure of up to 16 bar, an ambient temperature of up to +50 °C and a medium temperature of up to +100 °C.
Can I also isolate individual sections of the network?
Yes. The Air Saver can isolate sections of the piping system that do not need a permanent compressed air supply.
Is there a remote control?
Yes, as an option. It allows the Air Saver to be operated even in places that are hard to reach.
