Compressed air audit system introduced
1 min read
Compressed air specialist Boge has introduced what it describes as a sophisticated compressed air auditing system which can simultaneously analyse up to 12 compressors. Logged data will then identify where compressed air savings can be made leading to an optimised compressed air system and reduced energy costs.
Boge says running an energy efficient compressed air system is one way to ensure you keep operating costs down in the current economic climate. Fixing air leaks, adapting compressed air demand to changes in manufacturing or production patterns and where appropriate upgrading to energy efficient technologies such as a frequency controlled screw compressor will reduce waste and can all lead to significant energy savings.
Assessing an existing compressed air system is the first step to reduce waste, the company says, and has introduced the AIReport auditing system to assist with the efficient and precise assessment of a compressed air system. Up to 12 compressors can be logged simultaneously, allowing a professional evaluation of the compressor station. Associated equipment such as the compressed air dryer is also measured. Data logged can then be graphically viewed including reports on; pressure dew point, flow rate, net pressure profile and so on. This data accumulates into a report which highlights the current cost of any system in-efficiencies such as idling times and so on.
