Betting on energy efficiency with AIRScan

Imagine an automotive parts manufacturing plant that uses a compressed air system to power pneumatic tools, actuators and cleaning systems. The plant has noticed an increase in energy costs and some interruptions in production.

The plant manager inquires about the condition of the compressed air system. The following observations are made:

1. Increased Costs: The energy bill has increased by 20% in the last six months.
2. Interrupted Production: Some pneumatic tools are not working properly, causing delays in the production line.
3. Noise: Unusual noise is heard in the compressor room, indicating that something might be wrong.

In this case an audit with AIRScan can help analyze leakage points that causes to have an interrupted production, generate an energy audit to know what are the points of consumption where we can generate an optimization and reduce costs, a vibration analysis for that suspicious noise that is heard in your equipment and with the reports resulting in these audits apply recommendations to save energy by up to 30%, stabilize the air pressure to avoid unexpected stops and preventive maintenance is performed to help extend the life of your compressor and improve the efficiency of your compressed air system.

This study is performed with an acoustic camera which detects 40% more leaks than a traditional system, providing you at the end with a complete report of leaks and potential savings with a list of repair priorities.

It is not necessary to stop production to place these tools, as it is installed during operation and gives you an x-ray of the state of your system in energy issues and the report offers options of different configurations with the potential savings that these can generate.

This audit helps you know the status of the compressor element, gearbox, coupling, drive train, among other components and thus avoid breakdowns that are very costly.

The air quality audit helps to check the purity of the compressed air and gives you a complete report of recommendations to achieve the quality your production needs.

Now, it is not only about generating an audit and already, our specialist consultants in AIRScan, also perform a survey throughout your compressed air system, to detect the state and to offer you the ideal audit; also accompany you before, during and after the audit process so that you achieve the objectives of energy reduction and CO2 footprint.
