AIR COMPRESSOR CONSUMPTION

Like all electro-mechanical equipment, industrial compressed air systems require periodic maintenance to operate at peak efficiency and minimize unscheduled downtime. Inadequate maintenance can increase energy consumption via lower compression efficiency, air leakage, or pressure variability. It also can lead to high operating temperatures, poor moisture control, excessive contamination, and unsafe working environments. Most issues are minor and can be corrected with simple adjustments, cleaning, part replacement, or elimination of adverse conditions.

This tool calculates the energy savings associated with making minor changes to your air compressor system. Each section calculates the energy savings associated with one of the following changes:

	Reduce compressor air pressure
	Repair compressed air leaks

Enter the data specific to your compressor in the required sections, with each section having some additional inputs specific to the changes listed above.The cumulative savings for implementing all the changes is calculated at the bottom of the tool.
