How to reduce energy consumption

Publication date: February 2, 2023

FPS AIR COMPRESSORS says they can offer many tips and initiatives to reduce the energy your compressed air system consumes. In particular, the company offers the new NOBEL PM series of oil-injected rotary screw compressors featuring IE4 permanent magnet motors, variable speed drives and extended airflow range for high levels of energy efficiency and quiet operation. doing.

The company says this industry-leading performance helps counter the current trend of skyrocketing energy costs, which are likely to remain high for the foreseeable future. Compare with operating cost of compressor. As an example, a user operating a 37 kW Nobel DVPM air compressor can enjoy savings of up to £25,000 or more per year.

The use of compressed air accounts for a significant portion of the electricity costs in manufacturing plants, food manufacturing facilities, machine shops, packaging plants, garages, body shops, lumber yards, and basically any facility that uses compressed air. increase. According to FPS, a big part of the solution is getting familiar with identifying the best technology, especially compressors. Energy costs associated with operating air compressors during their service life account for more than 80% of total lifecycle costs.

There are three main compressor metrics to consider. Improved FAD (Free Air Delivery) performance. Wider operating range to meet different demands.

The specific energy value reveals the power (kW) used to produce a specific volume (1m³) of compressed air. Unfortunately, users often overlook this highly accurate measure of air compressor energy efficiency. However, Power System’s NOBEL PM series models offer 3-8% better specific energy performance compared to competitor alternatives.
