This autonomous control system allows for precise tyre pressure according to conditions.
AirSave is a cost-effective solution for automatically keeping tyre pressures within the optimum range and also provides an indication of imminent tyre failures. Tyre pressure is one of the most important aspects that must be managed in order to reduce operating expenses. Incorrect tyre pressure can lead to increased tyre wear, reduced tyre mileage, higher fuel consumption and higher CO2 emissions. BPW explains that today’s tyre pressure control systems (TPMS) use telematics applications to show any deviation from the optimum tyre pressure. However, whether and when the air pressure problem is resolved is sometimes unknown. The only way to be sure that the air pressure is actually correct is with automatic tyre pressure control systems, such as BPW’s new AirSave system.
BPW continues to say that the one advantage that AirSave has over previous tyre pressure control systems, is that it is an autonomous solution that can be easily fitted or retrofitted with minimum additional expenditure. The system consists of a compressor, electric control unit, tyre valve, a number of pressure and temperature sensors as well as a power source. Each individual tyre is automatically adjusted to the correct pressure while travelling. System faults such as a steady loss of pressure are indicated by means of an LED light directly on the tyre.
AirSave is easy to retrofit and freely scalable because of its decentralised and autonomous design. The system is also completely maintenance-free. Because AirSave is mounted on the hub, no special components are required for the wheel itself, and servicing the tyres is straightforward. The system can be combined with every brand of tyres and rims. Source: http://www.bpw.de/en/media/press/press-archive/eintrag/single/255.html
