Lowering Your Compressed Air Energy Costs Trey Donze Mike Hotz Air Technologies Why Care About Compressed Air? Compressed air is expensive Compressed air is essential to plant productivity Compressed air systems can be effectively managed to improve plant operation Compressed air systems usually have significant opportunities for efficiency improvement Compressed Air Use in Selected Manufacturing Industries Life Cycle Cost of an air compressor Energy cost can account for up to 90% over a ten year working life Within 12 months, the capital cost is usually exceeded by the running costs First cost represents the lowest of the three costs Energy consumption by far is the most significant factor in operating cost of an air compressor Benchmark Your System’s Efficiency To make an accurate determination of energy savings solutions, it is important to measure your system flow, pressure and kW as well as evaluate any plans for future expansion This is accomplished by a flow and kW survey Benchmark Your System’s Efficiency Measure your compressed air requirements Flow Pressure Dew point kW and kWh Benchmark your current system’s efficiency kWh/MCF Receive a detailed report outlining improvements KW Meters Typical 24 hrs/day operation with low night shift and high day shift consumption. Steady weekend consumption (leakages). (64% of installations). Five days/week operation, erratic demand fluctuations (28% of installations). Energy Reduction Opportunities Use Efficient Compressor Controls Reduce Compressed Air Usage Lower Compressor Discharge Pressure Efficiently Sequence Air Compressors Operate and Maintain Compressed Air Equipment at Peak Efficiency Use Efficient Compressor Controls 75 HP Lubricated screw compressor w/ Modulation Control -vs.- 60 HP VSD Average electrical cost = $0.06 / KWHR A) 1st shift 250 CFM 2200 HRS/YR B) 2nd shift 175 CFM 2200 HRS/YR C) 3rd shift 100 CFM 2200 HRS/YR 75 HP unit @ 125 PSIG 60HP VSD @ 125 PSIG 82.5 Bhp full load power
