Read MoreTrends and Forecasts of Energy-Efficient Air Compressor Integration in Green Sectors
As environmental concerns continue dominating the marketplace, industries worldwide seek ways to become more sustainable. The industrial air compressor market is no exception. The global air compressor market size was valued at $16.51 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from 17.22 billion in 2023 to 25.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate […]
Read MoreMeasuring Air Compressor Performance to Ensure Efficiency
Air compressor efficiency is a priority for many organizations. Knowing how well your air compressors perform is an excellent indication of their overall efficiency. Any facility that runs at limited efficiency will use more power to achieve the same results. In fact, only 10-20% of the energy required to generate compressed air reaches the point of use. […]
Read MoreCompressed Air Systems: An Introduction
Compressed air is so common in industrial applications that many people consider it a utility in the same way they view water and natural gas. Compressed air systems are valuable resources for powering a facility’s machinery and tools and performing other essential tasks. If you need to add the power of air to your operation, […]
Read MoreA Comprehensive Guide to Air Dryers
Compressed air, along with water, natural gas and electricity, are essential utilities needed in the manufacturing process. Its application is widespread in the automotive, plumbing, textile, agriculture, food and beverage, construction and other industries where moisture must be removed from the air within these compressors to perform efficiently. This guide will cover everything you need […]
Read MoreBenefits of Variable Speed Drives
Motors that power multiple applications are generally made to run at uniform speeds, regardless of the application in question. For any machine that runs on an AC motor, you can save money on energy costs with the use of a Variable Speed Drive (VSD), which adjusts the motor’s speed according to the needs of a […]
Read MoreThe Benefits of Efficient Air Compressors
There are many uses of compressed air. In fact, 70 percent of all manufacturers use a compressed air system, for use with machine tools, material handling, as well as spray painting and separation equipment. One reason for that popularity is the safety and convenience of using air as a resource, as opposed to other energy […]
Read MoreWhy Is My Air Compressor Losing Pressure?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that industrial operations use 10% of their electricity on creating compressed air. As such, compressed air can be a costly investment. Inefficient production systems reduce profits, sometimes threatening the ongoing financial viability of businesses. With such intense price competition, manufacturers need to identify areas of inefficiency. At industrial facilities, many unseen errors can cause reductions in […]
