Fruehauf improves air compressor system
Cranefruehauf invited us to conduct a survey to identify energy efficiency savings and how best to incorporate renewables on to the site.
The company have since saved thousands of pounds by implementing a refurbishment of their air compressor system which was leaking and also in the wrong place.
Businesses develop and sometimes equipment is inherited - a fresh look with savings quantified can help with decision making.
Analysis of compressor energy usage predicted likely savings and supported the case for new plant equipment.
Compressors often leak and need regular maintenance.
Air compressor inspections are an essential part of your energy savings plans. According to Atlas Copco they use more than 10% of the world’s electricity!
Other than leaks there are lots of things to understand about your compressor such as load hours, pressure settings, VSD compressor, and correct type of compressor for application and system design. A 7% saving is possible from a 1 bar reduction in pressure.
“The powers that be were very impressed. They liked their report and presentation!”
