The division of the pressure ratio into 3 stages instead of

the traditional 2-stages used for water-cooled compressors
considerably decreases compression temperatures. B L

The result, even when a standard mineral oil is used, e.g.

circulating oil in main engines, is that any carbonisation of

also available for breathing air compressors. Sauers Navy breath-
ing air compressors can be delivered according to several shock
and vibration standards from simple LRoS rules to highest Navy
standards such as US Mil Std 901 or German BV0432 and 044.
The heart of each breathing air station is the very robust compres-
sor block a block which is designed to withstand the highest
demands as they occur for naval applications such as inclination,
