Industrial companies are identifying ways to lower their compressed air system energy consumption. One of the most popular methods is a comprehensive compressed air assessment, or "air demand analysis". This is the 5-step process that will guide you.
The U.S Department of Energy estimates that only 50% of compressed air is put to productive use - meaning most air systems have significant energy savings potential. This paper defines the 5 steps required in a compressed air audit. By using a real-world example with system information from a magnetic materials manufacturer, each step clearly illustrates how the user achieved a 42% reduction in annual energy costs.
This paper addresses where leaks commonly occur, leak detection methods, and practical advice for an audit and repair plan. You'll learn why an ongoing leak detection and repair...
