airleader CN Light:

Highly efficient compressor control

With its intelligent, demand-based control, the AIRLEADER CN Light optimises the energy efficiency of compressed air systems. The system activates only as many compressors as required, avoiding unnecessary idling and maximising efficiency. A narrow pressure band of +/- 0.15 bar and minimised switching frequency achieve maximum energy savings, which both cut costs and protect the environment.

Extended configuration and visualisation functions

The AIRLEADER CN Light can be configured via the standard 17” touchscreen IPC or the integrated web interface, allowing simple and intuitive operation. The connection can be made via an Ethernet network cable or the standard Wi-Fi hotspot, so the system integrates seamlessly into existing IT infrastructure. The web-based server visualisation provides a clear and detailed view of the compressed air station, allowing the efficiency of individual compressors to be assessed and optimised.

Data protection and reliable data archiving

Thanks to the local server installation, the AIRLEADER CN Light offers a high level of data security, with access to the collected data strictly controlled and protected from external access. The data is also backed up redundantly in the Airleader’s hardware memory, which increases protection against data loss in the event of server failures or other technical problems.

Intelligent adaptation and continuous optimisation

The system adapts through self-learning to changes in network volume and compressor dynamics, ensuring optimal operation without manual intervention. The intelligent software performs continuous calculations to determine the most efficient compressor output and adjusts the system dynamically to maximise efficiency and performance.

Airleader’s online visualisation provides comprehensive insight into the operation of your compressed air systems. It shows consumption, pressure and compressor status instantly in a clear overall diagram. The high-resolution display updates 10 times per second, allowing precise analysis and the identification of short peaks thanks to an extreme zoom function.

A wide range of sensors can be integrated and their data visualised in high resolution, with limit violations automatically generating messages. Specific power and energy balance are monitored continuously, with automatic notifications when costs are exceeded.

Long-term monitoring, preventive maintenance planning and easy-to-understand statistics on load and idle times are integrated as standard. All data is stored for 20 years and is accessible via the web server without loss of speed, with several users able to access it at the same time.
