Compressed air is a very expensive source of energy, try
to reduce it’s use.
|
|
Provide clean and cool
air intake to the compressors. Warm and humid air intake
increases the power consumption.
|
|
Clean the air inlet filters
regularly.
|
|
Minimize low load operation
of compressor. Changeover to small compressor or reduce
the compressor speed to match the capacity by changing
the motor pulley size.
|
|
Keep the air delivery
pressure (Cut – Off) as low as possible.
|
|
Misuse of compressed
air such as body cleaning, agitation, floor cleaning
etc. should be discouraged.
|
|
Pneumatic tools and pneumatic
transport system consumes @ 10 times more energy. It
should be replaced with either electrical or mechanical
system.
|
|
If pressure requirements
of processes are widely different, It is better to run
two separate compressor systems. |
