Checking the efficiency
Since poor maintenance and incorrect specification
of plant leads to high energy consumption and
operating costs, efficiency should be analysed. The
advantages of such a detailed analysis are:
• Knowledge about the maximum consumption of
compressed air. This allows you to check that your
system is of the correct capacity. Most systems are
oversized due to a lack of understanding about the
maximum consumption requirement.
• To realise if it would be profitable to share the
production of compressed air between a small
compressor and a larger one. Each system runs
efficiently and this saves money.
