Air Basics
Remember The Three Main Parameters?
• Pressure
• Capacity Three Parameters Are Directly Related
• Horsepower
• Capacity Or Flow Determines How Much Work Is
Done.
• Pressure Determines How Fast The Work Is Done.
• Horsepower Is The Energy Input Required To Get
The Work Done.
Or
Benefits Achieved:
• High efficiency, highly reliable, auto control, low maintenance prone
compressors
Save upto 40% of the power consumption using Heat recovered thru
the water (intercooler & after cooler)
21 Energy Efficiency Summit 2010
Two stage screw compressors
2 Stage Energy Savings
⇒ Air is compressed in two stages,
which allows “More Flow/ Unit
Power”

–Higher energy
–Higher maintenance
• Manage Compressors
• Base load & trim
• Single point pressure control
• Stabilize Pressure
• Prioritize Sequences
• Operate only as needed
Variable Speed
Trim Compressors
• 2 basic types
– Loop
– Grid
• Loop systems
– Compressor/s located centrally
– Air to point of use from two directions
– Pressure droop is cut in HALF
How….think of it as doubling the pipe size
• Grid Systems
– Simply a main trunk line with several branches serving
points of use/drops.
– Compressor/s located at one end of trunk line
– Not as efficient as the loop/unit loop systems
• The typical oil consumption for rotary screw compressors per 100 cfm-
fad at a rated 4 ppm is approximately 1/2 gallon for every 2000 hours of
operation.
