The versatility of IDE-COMPRESSORS compressors in the maritime world

September 11, 2023

Breathing air compressors for divers and fire departments, starting air compressors in shipping, nitrox/nitrogen generators, and other maritime-industrial applications.

The leisure market, emergency services and the industrial world are constantly changing and demand modern, reliable, state-of-the-art solutions that meet and exceed current and future requirements for safety, energy efficiency and the environment. The innovative compressors from IDE-COMPRESSORS meet all of these requirements and beyond and meet all currently known technological challenges and are therefore indispensable whether in your free time or at work.

Starting air compressors for smooth starting procedures of large ship engines

Propelling ships requires enormous amounts of energy to move the enormous masses across the oceans. IDE starting air compressors play a key role here by producing the necessary compressed air to start the ship's engines. These compressors provide a constant and reliable source of air that ensures smooth start-up of the ship's engines. Thanks to their robust construction and reliable and advanced technology, IDE starting air compressors are the first choice for the maritime industry.

Breathing air compressors – safety on land, on board and under water

The safety of people on board ships and under water is of the utmost importance. IDE breathing air compressors play an indispensable role in supplying fire extinguishing equipment on ships and offshore installations. They ensure that in the event of a fire, a reliable air source is available to supply the fire department with the necessary compressed air. These compressors are also used to supply divers, whether for leisure purposes on cruise ships or in industrial or military diving operations. The breathing air compressors from IDE ensure cleaner and safe breathing air at all times and in sufficient quantities with their compressors and the world's best breathing air quality monitoring system AIRSAVE-ULTIMATE.

The use of Nitrox, a mixture of normal ambient air with an increased oxygen content - EAN 32-36-42, has become increasingly important in diving.

IDE Nitrox generators are tailor-made solutions that either provide nitrox directly to divers or enable high-pressure compression of nitrox in storage bottles. This opens up completely different comfortable options for divers and also makes diving safer.

Overall, the versatility of IDE compressors in maritime and industrial applications is impressive. They play a critical role in ensuring the safety of people and assets and the efficiency of operations. With their proven quality and state-of-the-art technology, IDE Compressors sets standards in the industry, helping ships sail the oceans safely and industrial facilities run smoothly.

IDE-AIRSAVE ULTIMATE: A revolution in compressed air quality monitoring for maritime applications

The maritime industry is constantly looking for innovative solutions that not only increase efficiency but also increase safety standards. In this regard, IDE Compressors has raised the bar for compressed air generation in maritime applications to a new level with its groundbreaking innovation, the IDE-AIRSAVE ULTIMATE. This pioneering technology promises not only improved performance, but also an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.

A look at the IDE-AIRSAVE ULTIMATE technology

The IDE-AIRSAVE ULTIMATE is a breathing air quality monitoring system that is primarily used in breathing air applications. The first development stages were started by the founder and owner of IDE-COMPRESSORS after 10 divers died of CO poisoning on a diving ship in the Andaman Sea in 2007. Until then and for many years to come, the breathing air quality was measured every quarter of a year using test tubes. However, the result measured with this could turn into highly contaminated values just 45 minutes later. Thanks to IDE-COMPRESSORS, which was the first company in the compressor industry to bring a usable online monitoring system onto the market in 2008, which even the world market leader tried to copy. Since then, such accidents and liability risks for the filling stations when using this system have been history. Incidentally, DIN EN 12021:2014 and other international standards stipulate that it must be ensured at all times when breathing air is released that the limit values of the standard are adhered to. But this is only possible with a permanently online measuring system.
