eHandbook: Compressed Air — Improve System Performance With Advice From the Experts
Oct. 10, 2022
Contrary to what some might think, compressed air is not free. In fact, for the energy it takes to produce it to what is generated as a result, it is often considered the most expensive utility in a typical manufacturing facility. To add to the problem, the U.S. DOE notes that more than 50% of all compressed air systems have energy-efficiency problems. Air compressor experts have also estimated that as much as 30% of compressed air generated is lost via leaks in the compressed air system. In this eHandbook, you'll learn how to:
Understand your current compressed air system, before building anew
Use technology to take the pressure off system operators, maintenance, and production
Combat common compressed air supply problems
Use airborne ultrasound to identify leaks and reap big savings
