How much is my timer drain costing me?
When ambient air is squeezed into compressed air, it canβt hold as much water vapor. Itβs kind of like squeezing a sponge, free water forms as condensate and will travel down into your compressed air system if not removed. Similarly, when the 100% saturated air the compressor produces is cooled, either the compressed air piping, […]
Compressed Air Fail: Poor control coordination
A manufacturer of automotive products had a two compressor system that was designed for 100% redundancyβhowever, this system had never been fully implemented. Two air dryers, two large receivers, and two sets of filters were installed, but only two of the planned four compressors had been purchased. An auditor did a plant walk through and […]
How do I make my compressed air system more efficient?
There are three important basic βsecretsβ to making your compressed air system more efficient. These are 1. Produce the compressed air more efficiently, 2. Waste less compressed air, 3. Use the compressor heat for something useful. To produce the compressed air more efficiently, the work to improve things is mostly done in the compressor room. […]
