Following air compressor tips can offer you energy effectiveness improvement and very simple to accumulate energy and operating costs on air compressor system by maintaining air compressor system regularly, selecting the correct air compressor for needs, optimizing the size of air distribution system and controlling air quality.
Simple changes to save energy
- Turn off compressed air equipment when not in use.
- Reduce air pressure to the minimum required to do the job.
- Prevent unnecessary compressed air use on drying or cleaning.
- Educate staff to look out for waste and leaks, and report these immediately. Hot air ducted away from the air compressor intake area can be used for space or water heating.
Low cost improvements
- Regularly check for leaks in all piping, joints, drains, valves, flexible hoses, fittings, and filter and lubricator units.
- Install automatic timers to turn off air compressor when not in use.
- Service air compressor as recommended by manufacturers.
- Reduce air temperatures, as the temperature of the air drawn in by air compressor can significantly affect running costs.
- Shorten air distribution distances or look at moving air compressor closer to where compressed air is used.
- Check all belt drives for tension regularly in belt-driven air compressors.
