ENERGY SAVINGS SEMINARS FOR COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS
Our consultants have recently made presentations before the following organizations:
PESIC, a United Nations mandated energy saving organization
FIDE, Federal electric energy saving organization of Mexico
CESA, Central American Engineering Association
ACIMA, Association of Costa Rican Engineers
This presentations topics will be:
- How much does compressed air cost?
- What is CAGI and the Compressed Air Challenge?
- How can these organizations protect you from making bad compressed air decisions?
- You can find out from these organizations exactly how much your compressor costs to operate. We will show you how to do this.
- Compressed air system components and how they work.
- Advantages and disadvantages of each type of compressor, dryer and filter.
- Correct installation and piping.
- Biggest energy wastes in a plant.
- How to keep plant pressure consistent.
- Many vendors are doing audits that are not close to accurate. We will show you how to prevent this!
- We will show how correctly done plant audits will save energy and allow you to see payback saving on changes you make before you do them.
- We will show results of sample audits.
- Compressor controls and problems with them.
- Dryer controls and how they save money.
- Which vacuum pump will save the most energy for your application.
Did you know?
- That a compressor costs twice as much to operate electrically per year than it does to buy.
- That raising the pressure by 10 PSI increases your electricity cost by more than 5 %.
- That every Horsepower you can save increases your companies profits by up to $500 per year.
- That a leak or failed moisture drain can cost your company $5000 per year.
- That an incorrect control adjustment on a 200 HP compressor can cost $30,000 per year.
- That normal refrigerated dryers only operate at full load even if the compressor is unloaded.
- That oil free compressors cost 10 to 15 % more to operate than oil flooded compressors.
- That wye delta or soft start starters do not save energy compared to full voltage starters.
