Technology – Introduction

Automatic
pressure management on board

RIB Air System automatically compensates for pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes, ensuring constant operating pressure and immediate readiness.

The pneumatic infrastructure is built inside the hull as a protected, structured system. The compressor and the control unit are housed in a watertight, moisture-proof Pelicase industrial case that keeps operation reliable even in extreme conditions. The current installation architecture is the result of several years of research and development and of testing in real-world environments.

How it works

Four steps, continuously

Measurement

Continuous digital pressure and temperature measurement, chamber by chamber on multi-chamber boats.

Analysis

Temperature compensation and trend analysis against the predefined optimal target value.

Correction

Automatic top-up inflation or pressure release until the system restores the desired pressure.

Alert

Immediate warning in the event of an anomaly or micro-leak, with event logging.

Temperature compensation

Heat works against the boat, invisibly

On a sunny summer day significant overpressure can build up, while in cold water or at night the pressure can drop dangerously. The system measures temperature with high-precision, compensated sensors and corrects the physical changes algorithmically.
