Have you ever wondered why your air compressor operates at 120 psi, but you’re only using 90 psi on the manufacturing floor? How about those weekends when the plant is shutdown, yet the compressors continue to run until Monday? Has your boss asked you to figure out a way to reduce energy costs? If the answer to any of these questions is “yes”, this article could be very useful to you.

While there can be a few varying explanations for these occurrences, the vast majority stem from your compressed air piping system. The piping system in your facility can be compared to your body’s cardiovascular system, pumping the right amount of air at the right pressure to areas on the floor where it’s needed. When there are fluctuations or gaps in this performance, output can suffer and the system can fail, resulting in serious bottom-line damage. Therefore, it is important to consider ways to keep this system “healthy.”

In today’s economic climate, many manufacturing operations—perhaps yours—have been downsized. However, the size of most air compressors has stayed the same, so chances are you’re paying more for compressed air than you need to. You can find out with an MBox air study from Air Technologies.

An MBox air study is a week long 24/7 profile of your production air requirements and cost. During the audit you operate normally and our M-Box data loggers record the activity of your compressors. You receive a detailed report with your compressor scope of supply, data pages (including power and air consumption, load cycles, running hours, etc.), profile graphs and charts, and an executive summary.

Pressure drop wastes dollars. To overcome pressure drop and maintain system pressure, your compressor must draw additional electric power. Every 2 psi of pressure adds 1% to the cost of electric power supplied to the compressor. Read More…

Excerpts from Bob Baker, Atlas Copco Compressors

Our answer is a resounding, “Yes.” By adjusting the audit scope to meet your needs you can save big bucks, whether you operate a 4 billion-square-foot facility or a much smaller operation.

There have been many energy audit articles written for the engineering magazines that have been an excellent resource on how to save energy in your 4 billion-square-foot manufacturing facility. Big energy audits usually save big energy, but they cost big bucks.

Where does this leave the little guy who operates a 15-75 horsepower air compressor? If you read these articles, many of them will help you gain the appropriate knowledge to cash-in on similar energy saving opportunities.
