Our compressor not reched final pressure .keep shutdown at 50bar

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
May 25, 2025

The Bauer Kompressoren Verticus 5 compressor may shut down at 50 bar and not reach the final pressure if the intake pressure or gas balloon level falls below the configured compressor stop value. The compressor only restarts when the intake pressure or gas balloon level rises above the compressor start value. The final pressure is also dependent on system settings and sensor registration. If sensor 2 is not registered, Final Pressure 2 will not be displayed or used.
