Efficient operation of a compressed air system can be achieved through simple, tangible steps. To begin, you need to calculate costs and benefits as follows:
011. Demand analysis and leak measurement
Looking only at the energy requirements of your compressors instead of their leaks has a significant negative impact on energy consumption. Reducing these leaks offers the greatest savings potential. To achieve these savings, optimal compressor operation must be determined on the basis of a demand analysis and regular leak measurement. Contact us for a reliable and efficient analysis.
022. System design
Efficient operation of individual components is only the first step towards saving energy. Optimal interaction between these components and adapting the whole system to your specific needs can also have a positive effect. With an intelligently designed process chain, you can optimise your energy and resources. Tehnogama’s experienced specialists in this field are available for advice and recommendations.
033. System renewal
For a compressed air system that is starting to show its age, a complete renewal can pay off. It depends on the technical condition of your system and how much of the energy it uses is converted into the desired end performance. Modern compressors are equipped with high-efficiency motors and air ends, modern fans and heat recovery systems. An investment in new equipment can pay for itself quickly, and such investments are increasingly supported by government programmes.
044. Intelligent control systems
An optimal ratio between load and idle time can be achieved with intelligent control systems. They choose the most efficient combination of compressors according to demand, so you can maintain optimal idle time and pressure at all times. In addition, your system parameters become much clearer.
055. Heat recovery
During air compression, a high percentage of energy is converted into heat. Modern, efficient compressor systems make sure this energy is not wasted: up to 94% of the heat generated in the compressor can be recovered. It can then be directed to the appropriate part of your company’s premises or used to produce hot water.
