Reducing the cost of compressed air
Compressed air at gage pressures of 550 to 1000 kPa (80 to 150 psig) is
commonly used in industrial facilities to perform a wide variety of tasks
such as cleaning, operating pneumatic equipment, and even refrigeration.
It is often referred to as the fourth utility after electricity, water, and
natural gas or oil. In production facilities, there is a widespread waste
of energy associated with compressed-air systems and a general lack of
awareness about the opportunities to conserve energy. A considerable
portion of the energy waste associated with compressed-air systems can
be avoided by following some commonsense measures. In this section
we discuss the energy losses associated with compressed-air systems and
their costs to manufacturers. We also show how to reduce the cost of
compressed air in existing facilities by making some modifications with
attractive payback periods. With the exception of a few compressors that
are driven by natural gas engines, all compressors are driven by electric
motors
