components from one single unit.

For optimum energy efficiency, the SAM 2
uses Kaeser’s advanced 3-D Control to analyse
the relationship between three key factors, the
switching losses, control losses and pressure
flexibility.

Based on this information and the specific
pressure required by the user, the SAM 2 then
predictively calculates the optimum achievable
configuration and adjusts the connected
components accordingly.

Operating status, pressure history, free

maintenance and any error messages can all be
displayed and analysed on the SAM 2 in both

Alternatively, data can be accessed remotely
using a PC and network connection.
