Your compressed air system can be an important contributor to your energy bill. Gaining energy efficiency can have a big impact on your cost, while helping to reduce your CO2 footprint.
Energy consumption accounts for up to 70% of the lifecycle cost of a compressed air installation. Atlas Copco’s approach focuses on reducing the overall energy bill, which means that we look through your compressed air installation, from compressed air generation to the distribution network and demand.
Discover how you can maximize your compressor room efficiency.
Do you know whether your compressed air system is efficient?
With AIRScan, we inspect your entire air system, from the compressors via the air net to the demand side. Based on these checks, we identify potential savings and recommend actions to achieve these savings.
Did you know that up to 20% of the energy consumption in your compressed air system could be lost to air leaks? That’s a lot of money you are blowing away. With RePress, leaks are fixed while the distribution net is under pressure, and without dismantling pipes or couplings.
In a multiple compressor installation, compressor control systems contribute to a more accurate pressure output and reduced energy consumption. Upgrading equipment to our latest technologies invariably results in efficiency improvements.
During air compression, heat is generated. This is diverted to the cooling system and released into the atmosphere. However, this thermal energy can be put to good use. That’s where Energy Recovery comes in. It recovers the heat so it can be used for workspace heating, hot water or industrial processes. Your compressor is “creating” energy. Don’t let it go to waste!
SMARTLINK enables you to follow up on the performance and service status of all the equipment in your air compressor room. Detailed reports help you keep track of your energy efficiency, also allowing Energy Management according to ISO 50001.
