Water-cooled high-pressure compressors in the I-series (air & nitrogen) in the pressure range 90 – 420 bar – for heavy-duty operation in industrial applications
Cooling of valve heads reduces thermal load: For minimum wear
Installation even under the most difficult ambient conditions: Thanks to dedicated water cooling of the compressor block
Incredibly long-serving and reliable unit: With extended valve service life and low oil consumption
Reduced noise level: Compared with air-cooled units
BAUER I-series water-cooled high-pressure compressors are ideal for installation under the most difficult ambient conditions as well as for use in industrial applications.
By using targeted water cooling between the interstage and afterstage coolers and valve heads, the system enables the majority of the heat produced to be absorbed by the cooling water.
As a result, the multi-stage, industrial high-pressure compressors require very little maintenance and achieve long service lives. At the same time, they are quieter than comparable air-cooled compressors.

B-CONTROL MICRO compressor control
The B-CONTROL MICRO is a modern, easy-to-use compressor control with colour display for the control and reliable monitoring of all basic functions. Read more
Compressor block
For compressor units with intake pressure, the BK 23 to BK 52 block series feature a pressure-tight crankcase for uniform absorption of the internal gas forces. Read more
Water cooling
By using targeted water cooling between the interstage and afterstage coolers and valve heads, the system enables the majority of the heat produced to be absorbed by the cooling water. This maintenance-friendly cooling concept is suitable in particular for difficult spatial and ambient conditions where it would not be possible to use an air-cooled compressor.
B-CONTROL III
B-CONTROL III is BAUER's premium control system for demanding applications. Read More
Colour range
Customer-specific paint finishes in other colours or special composition paints (conforming to corrosivity category C5M, for example) are available alongside the standard BAUER paint finishes.
Explosion protection conforming to ATEX guidelines
Compressor units by BAUER KOMPRESSOREN can be supplied with explosion protection and conforming to ATEX directives.
Start-up configuration
At and above motor power ratings of 75 kW and in conjunction with the B-CONTROL, a soft starter to protect the unit during starting and effectively reduce starting current is used as standard. The technical alternative is soft staring with a frequency inverter. Read more
Monitoring of pressure and temperature
This add-on module for the B-CONTROL control monitors the pressures and temperatures of all compressor stages. Read more
Intake system
The intake system is needed to supply the compressor with air or gas at a suitable and monitored intake pressure. Read more
Intake buffer vessel
To effectively prevent pulsations in the intake area, an intake buffer vessel is installed between the compressor and the upstream gas supply networks and/or control equipment. Read more
Treatment systems
BAUER treatment systems for highly compressed air and gases reduce content such as moisture, oil and particles to a permissible level. Read more
Storage systems
Modular high-pressure storage systems by BAUER KOMPRESSOREN are the ideal way to expand a compressor system. Read more
Plate heat exchanger set
The plate heat exchanger set can be used to build a dedicated enclosed compressor cooling water circuit. In open cooling systems with stream water or sea water or open cooling towers, this is essential in order to operate the compressor with cooling water of suitable quality.
Heat exchanger set
The set consists of an air-to-water heat exchanger which makes it possible to operate water-cooled compressor units independently of a water supply.
