DETAILS:

One (1) hour presentation, including up to 15 min. Q&A

DESCRIPTION:

Compressed air systems are a crucial component of many industrial processes, but they can also be a significant source of energy waste and inefficiency. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the key components and considerations for designing and optimizing compressed air systems, including compressor selection, filtration, storage, and piping system design. We will discuss the importance of understanding the specific requirements of your application, including flow rates, pressure, and air quality, and how to select the right equipment and controls to meet those needs. Additionally, we will explore the benefits and trade-offs of different compressor control strategies, including load/no-load, inlet modulation, variable speed, and variable displacement. During the session participants will have a high-level overview of the tradeoffs for the decision made between equipment selection, system designs and system characteristics. By applying these principles and strategies, attendees will be able to optimize their compressed air systems for energy efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.
