AirMaster3PX™ circumvents the need to replace the existing local third-party OEM proprietary control system for each compressor by utilizing 3rd Party eXchange. This makes AirMaster3PX™ extremely versatile and effective for all types of scenarios and compressor rooms making it the go-to platform for systems requiring additional automation beyond the compressor itself. A few examples include multiple header management, cooling water control, and dryer integration into the overall architecture.
We understand that no two plants are exactly the same and that’s why each AirMaster3PX™ system is designed specifically to fit each individual application. With this many moving parts it’s important to get it right from the start.
Maximize system efficiency by running only the required compressors to meet plant demand
By controlling all of the air compressors to a single pressure signal and common group of setpoints
Complete integration and coordination of multiple compressor types and manufacturers
Centralized compressor data including air pressures, temperatures, vibrations, and operational status data
Load-sharing of all variable capacity compressors utilizing intelligent algorithms for precise and accurate control flexibility
Prevent major pressure deviation due to a compressor trip/shutdown by adding additional capacity immediately when the event occurs vs waiting on the pressure to decay
User friendly HMI with intuitive navigation and graphical display puts monitoring and adjusting the compressor right at your fingertips
Multi-level security architecture to adjust system automation parameters and set points
Native Ethernet/IP and Modbus communication protocol. Other protocols are optional for connection to any third-party system.
• Prevent compressor caused pressure oscillations due to multiple compressors responding local independent pressure signals.
• Utilize full inlet throttle capacity of all compressors to minimize or eliminate bypass
• Superior surge protection and detection algorithms
• Minimize compressor starts/stops
• Precise pressure regulation using inlet modulation of one or more compressor.
• Capacity based automatic unload algorithms to unload/stop compressors based on available reserved capacity of throttled compressors.
Rotary Screw Compressors
• Prevent compressor short interval load/unload cycling caused by multiple compressors responding to local independent pressure signals.
• Prevent unnecessary load/unload cycling caused by selecting the right compressor for the trim position.
• For variable speed motors, utilize the full capacity regulation by one or more VSD compressors to precisely respond to changing plant air demands.
• For compressors with variable capacity control (ex. Sullair Spiral valve) utilize the full capacity regulation by one or more variable capacity compressors to precisely respond to changing plant air demands.
• Capacity based automatic unload algorithms to unload/stop compressors based on available reserved capacity of throttled compressors.
• Prevent compressor short interval load/unload cycling caused by multiple compressors responding to local independent pressure signals.
• Prevent unnecessary load/unload cycling caused by selecting the right compressor for the trim position.
• For recips with partial load capability, 3 and 5-step loading, utilize the multi-step loading to more precisely control to the system pressure signal.
