Control operating costs related to compressed air systems in the company
Compressed air is an energy carrier that is frequently used in many sectors, particularly in the use of production machinery and specific pneumatic tools. Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, losses during heat generation and distribution due to leaks can be up to 90 %. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This measure is required for every new compressed air system.
Compressed air: an energy carrier that needs optimising in numerous sectors
Compressed air is an energy carrier that is frequently used in many sectors, particularly in the use of production machinery and specific pneumatic tools. Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, as much as 90% of the losses in heat generation and distribution can be linked to leaks. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This applies to all new compressed air system.
