Sabroe product description

SAB 283 screw compressors

vessels into the framework. This forms the base for the compressor block and drive motor, and provides an extremely heavy-duty, rigid design with only a small footprint. The majority of the key components in SAB 283 screw compressors are integrated into the compressor block itself, resulting in a compact design with less complicated external tubing. The integrated design makes a significant contribution to greater reliability and extended service life.

SAB 283 screw compressor package Sabroe SAB 283 screw compressors are ideal for a wide range of industrial and marine applications where absolute reliability and low operating costs are crucial requirements. They can be used with all the most common refrigerants. There are two versions, with capacities of 3326 and 3998 m3/h swept volume, respectively, at 50 Hz.

Variable Vi
SAB 283 screw compressors feature a patented method of varying the Vi (internal volume ratio) to match the system pressure ratio. This minimises any loss of efficiency due to over-compression or under-compression when the compressor is operating outside a narrow range of specific conditions. This significantly reduces operating costs.

Integrated design
The SAB 283 range is based on the only screw compressor package design in the world that truly integrates the oil separator and other pressure

Significant advantages
The advantages of the Sabroe SAB 283 compressor design include Suction gas filter, oil lubrication channels, capacity and Vi control valves are all built into the compressor block. External tubing as well as gasket-sealed flanged joints and assemblies are kept to a minimum. The high-precision anti-friction bearing system ensures the lowest friction losses and best possible rotor positioning. Stepless capacity slide controller, which ensures that the capacity is always adjusted to suit the exact requirements. Automatic stepless variable Vi controller to handle a number of operating conditions with no loss of efficiency.

Customer benefits
For the customer, the benefits of the Sabroe SAB 283 compressor design include

Integration of components within the compressor

block leads to maximum safety, a compact unit design, minimum downtime, great reliability and extended service life.

Excellent performance and less sensitivity to variations

in lubricant quality. This results in lowest possible operational costs and minimum downtime.

Maximum part-load efficiency. The resulting energy

savings ensure the lowest possible operating costs.

The automatic setting ensures optimum performance

regardless of variations in operating conditions.

Standard equipment
