compressed air supply

The central workshop VU Karlsruhe GbR, represented by VBK - Verkehrsbetriebe Karlsruhe GmbH, is building the new buildings of a central car workshop with bus depot for AVG and VBK on the site of Vikingerstrasse 13 in Karlsruhe (Rheinhafen).

In building W30, a compressed air generation system with a pressure reducer is planned to supply the commercial vehicle and Trapo workshop with compressed air to centrally adjust the pressure ranges with a compressed air reservoir and a downstream distributor. The distribution in three networks enables the plant to be used variably during operation. The end connections are equipped with quick couplings. The resulting condensate is fed into a fully automatic condensate treatment plant. The draw-off points are planned as double/and partly as individual connections, oiled or unoiled as required.

The order is to be completed in a planned construction time of approx. 13 months.

Plan status is:

Compressed air system: nominal pressure 13 bar

Compressed air requirement approx. 1.6 m3/min

2 screw compressors, each 0.85 m3/min at max. 15 bar

Activated carbon filter

Oil/water separator

Compressed air tank 3000 l

pressure retention system

Approx. 1,500 m of pipe made of stainless steel pipes, welded with connectors at different working heights and shape/hollow section steel construction made of galvanized steel for fixed-point design as well as pipe suspensions

Approx. 90 ball valves for compressed air lines

Approx. 30 pressure reducers
