Compressor Efficiency
The use of meaningful KPI indicators keep operators informed, as well as management. This energy management can be done constructively. Since up to 85% of the total costs of a compressed air system are mainly energy costs.
To determine the efficiency, we have:
- Assess compressors and optimize their use
- Assess the improvement of the system's performance, normally the plants present a leak rate of 20-30% of the productive capacity of compressed air. In well-maintained systems, such loss can be reduced to less than 10%
Using flowmeters at different points in the system, implemented this solution we can:
- Detect and repair breaks or leaks
- Avoid operating losses
- Avoid running the compressor for long periods
- Reduce maintenance tasks and increased unplanned downtime
- Avoid having to add a second compressor unnecessarily
