1. Reduce no-load running time

Air demand in industrial compressed air systems often fluctuates, and reducing idle running time is the first step in optimizing energy efficiency. The compressor controller can effectively reduce the no-load running time.

2. Reduce air leakage

Leaks are the largest waste of energy in older compressed air systems, and it is estimated that 20% of total compressed air consumption may be lost to leaks.

3. Reduce pressure bands

As a rule of thumb for most compressors, every 1 bar (14.5 psi) reduction in pressure saves 7% in electricity usage.

4. Convert heat of compression into effective energy by heat recovery

A good way for manufacturers to achieve energy savings is by recovering the waste heat generated by air compressors. The amount of heat that can be recovered depends on the size of the compressor and how long it has been running.

5. Make sure the installed compressor is the correct size

70% of the total lifecycle cost of a compressor is spent on energy, so choosing the right size compressor will keep operating costs as low as possible.

6. Make sure you are using the correct type of compressor technology

Different industries have different needs for air compressors, and a more suitable compressor type should be selected according to industry characteristics to avoid additional costs.

7. Consider variable speed drive compressors

Most production processes have varying needs at different times, and replacing a fixed speed compressor with a variable speed drive can save a lot of money because compressed air is only produced when needed.

8. Regular maintenance

A good solution to your compressed air supply is proper management of your compressed air equipment, which means regular preventive maintenance.
