GET YOUR ENERGY COSTS UNDER CONTROL

Compressed air systems often receive little attention in terms of energy efficiency, or do you know how old your compressed air generators are and what equipment they have?

Compressed air is one of the safest, but one of the most expensive forms of energy in companies. Due to leaks in valves, control air hoses, sealing air and piping, the energy often escapes completely unused. Further energy ist lost trough unused heat generated during the production of compressed air. Compressed air generators that matched your consumption years ago are operating inefficiently with your current compressed air consumption, resulting in high energy costs.

SHORT FILM

Are you tired of giving money away? High energy costs and hidden energy guzzlers are a constant issue in your company?

THEN YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!

We bring compressed air to the point! In less than 90 seconds we show you what is important for your compressed air supply.

Because every bar of extra pressure means 10% higher energy costs for you. How you can avoid this?

THAT’S WHERE WE SUPPORT YOU!

We check your complete system and eliminate weak points. With our help, more than 1000 companies already save energy every day and increase the service life of their system.

NEED TO KNOW? It’s worth taking a look.

Intelligtent solutions optimize overall efficiency

  • System analysis of your compressed air station to determine the utilization of the individual compressed air systems in order to identify any fluctuations in consumption, the load and idling behavior, and the allocation of the output of each individual compressor to the respective compressed air consumption
  • Assessment of the compressed air system by measurement and simulation
  • Compressed air leakage management – on-site leak detection with leak detector LD 500 from CS Instruments for documentation of leaks
  • Recommendations for system optimization and ROI calculation
  • Implementation of the selected energy-saving solutions

The path to greater energy efficiency

Interview with Antonia Meichelböck

ENERGY EFFICIENCY COACHING IN COOPERATION WITH SEMPACT AG

Energy has always been the number 1 issue to be solved since time immemorial. It is very important that energy is continuously available and affordable for companies and private households. In this interview with Antonia Meichelböck, energy efficiency coach at SEMPACT AG, we look at challenges faced by companies. The drastic increases in the prices of energy sources such as heating oil, gas, electricity and coal are currently making it difficult for all companies to feed in their energy costs and pass them on to the consumer – a challenge.

The cost of compressed air

Energy is required to compress air. Energy costs account for up to 70 % of the total life cycle cost of a compressor. Improving the energy efficiency of a compressed air system can save your money.

Reducing the pressure level

DO YOU KNOW YOUR MINIMUM DEMAND PRESSURE?

Your minimum demand presure is the pressure at which, even if several consumers are switched on at the same time, no failures occur on the machines (due to pressure undershoots). Energy consumption can be effectively reduced if the pressure is reduced.

Reduction of idle times

In an industrial compressed air system, air demand is typically subject to fluctuations. One step towards optimizing energy efficiency is to reduce idle times.

Leakage eliminiation

Up to 25 % of total compressed air consumption can be lost in older compressed air systems due to leakage.

Energy recovery

Air contains a base level of energy at atmospheric pressure, which increases during the compression process. Approximately 94 % of the electrical energy is converted to heat of compression. If energy recovery is not used, the recovered heat is lost to the atmosphere via cooling systems and radiation.

Converion to new technologies

You can make your plant more efficient by using a modern compressor control system or electric motors. In this way, the latest generation of SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 actively supports energy saving.
