Why Conduct a Compressed Air Energy Audit?
If you want to optimize, knowledge is key! Knowing the current state of your operation is the starting point and is the core of the Atlas Copco’s Energy Saving Cycle. Our AIRScan audit of the compressed air system is the foundational step toward unlocking your compressed air system's full potential.
By meticulously assessing your current setup, an AIRScan audit aims to spotlight inefficiencies that could be covertly elevating your energy bills and environmental footprint. Knowing how the compressed air is being used - and how the compressor installation is working in general - is what we mean when we talk about auditing.
Covering key areas such as air demand, pressure settings, and leak detection, our wide range of audits provides a thorough understanding of how your system operates, pinpointing opportunities where significant improvements can be made to calculate energy consumption in compressors and reduce operational costs.
What are the most important audits to perform on a compressed air installation?
What are the crucial audits for a compressed air system? Here are the essential checks to perform:
- Compressed Air Demand and Behavior: Check if you're producing more air than needed or if demand varies significantly, which could lead to waste.
- Working Pressure: Adjusting the working pressure can yield significant energy savings. Reducing pressure by just 1 bar can save 7% in energy costs.
- Piping Installation and Air Leakage: Ensure the air distribution system is efficient and check for leaks. Correct pipe sizing and fixing leaks are crucial for reducing costs.
- Compressed Air Quality: Important for industries where air contacts the end product. Assess the necessary air quality and review the filtration system regularly for possible upgrades and efficiency.
These audits help optimize performance and can save a substantial amount in operational costs annually.
