Overview
The WP Series Marine Emergency Air Compressor is a self-contained, diesel-engine-driven unit designed to provide a fail-safe backup source of compressed air onboard. In the event of a main power failure, it automatically activates to supply air for restarting the main engine, operating critical pneumatic controls, and ensuring vessel safety and maneuverability. Its independent operation makes it an indispensable safety asset on all commercial and naval vessels.
Advantages
Item | Benefit & Advantage |
Driven by Diesel Engine | Completely independent, not reliant on the ship's main power supply, ensuring 100% startability in the event of main power failure. |
Compact & Robust Design | Saves valuable engine room space and can withstand the vibration, corrosion and temperature and humidity changes of the ship's environment. |
Automatic Start / Stop | Automatically starts when the pressure of the main air compressor system is insufficient without manual intervention and automatically stops when the pressure is restored. |
Compliant with Class Rules | Meets the requirements of major classification societies (CCS, BV, DNV, etc.) to ensure ship compliance certification. |
Main Technical Parameters
Why is an Emergency Air Compressor Mandatory?
According to SOLAS regulations, vessels must have a secondary means of starting the main engine, independent of the main electrical supply. Our diesel-driven emergency air compressor fulfills this critical requirement, providing peace of mind and ensuring the safety of the vessel and crew in emergency situations.
Key Applications
• Backup air supply for main engine starting.
• Emergency power for pneumatic control systems.
• Auxiliary air for harbor maneuvering and standby situations.
• Safety air for fire-fighting systems.
