10 best practices can support you to reduce energy in the compressor installation
The compressed air is an important part of total energy cost for the industrial factory because 12% of the electricity fee come from the compressed air system and maybe it can reach to 40% in some facilities. From the state above means that any compressed air system energy savings will have a big impact on the total cost of energy consumption of your factory. Our compressed air guidebook provides your 10 best tips that will help you to reduce your compressed air running costs. In the meantime, these tips will make your compressor installation more energy efficient.
what to look for when selecting the right one?
What application do you need compressed air for? How much airflow and pressure do you require? Do you need clean air or dry air or does air quality not matter much? Will your industrial compressor run continuously or only part of the time? Do you need a quiet work floor companion or is noise not a factor in a separate compressor room? What type of maintenance interval are you looking for? Do you want to invest more initially and save later with low energy costs? Do you need the same amount of compressed air or does your demand fluctuate? Are you planning to expand any time soon?
How to pick the perfect industrial air compressor for your business?
To start, you will have to know the flow and pressure that is required, i.e. which job(s) will the compressor have to perform, how frequently does that job have to be done or how many different jobs do you have to perform at the same time? In addition, are you going to use your industrial air compressor intermittently or all day long? Will your demand be steady or fluctuate? In the latter case, variable speed drive technology can offer you significant savings on energy costs.
How to choose the right commercial air compressor for your needs?
A compressor that’s too small won’t produce enough flow and pressure to complete the required tasks. A compressor that’s too large will cost more to buy and operate and can lead to mechanical problems. Right-sizing a compressor requires real data about your needs, not guesswork. Whether you’re upgrading your current compressor or designing a new system, ask a compressed air sales professional to conduct an air system audit to measure your actual demand.

Introduction of the compressor guidebook
This book shows you 10 best practice tips that will help you to reduce energy from your running costs from your compressor installation.
1. Reduce your unloading time
Normally air demand varies from the usage point in an industrial compressed air system. Using this platform to reduce the unloaded time is the first step to optimize your energy efficiency. The air compressor provides the user-friendly controllers monitoring for you to check and help you to reduce unloaded time. If in your factory have multi compressor units, this step should be set up automatically then the compressor pressure bands should be set up in a method.
2. Eliminate air leaks
3. Tips to set up your pressure band
4. Stop wasting the heat energy from your compression stage
In the area of manufacturer have one opportunity to recover the waste heat from the compression stage. The heat is lost into the atmosphere via the cooling system can be recovered and the amount of electric energy depends on the sizing of air compressor and your running hours.
5. Ensure the correct size of an air compressor installation
The first impact of saving energy in the compressed air system is the way to choosing you’re the size of air compressor. Before you are choosing the type of compressor you might need to ask yourself several questions:
- What is the application?
- How much airflow does our need for your facility or workshop
- The minimum pressure needed
- Do I need an air dryer or filter to improve air quality?
- The operation hours per year
- Any fluctuation in flow demand between the shifts
- Any plan for future expansion
After several questions you can select air compressor is not based on the pricing but based on the lowest total lifecycle costs. Most of the energy issue, we know that 70% of the total lifecycle costs are spent on energy with the right choice will be reduced…..
