To understand how an
air system operates we must document all aspects of the system including:
 |
Energy consumption
in KWH |
|
Peak electrical
demand in KW |
|
Compressed air
demand in SCFM |
|
Operating pressure
in PSI |
|
Maintenance costs
in Dollars |
|
Water consumption
in GPM |
|
Dryer purge loss in
SCFM |
This information is
used to calculate the air systems cost of operation in cost per 1000 scfm
delivered.
A truly high efficiency air system can deliver compressed air at 15 to 20
cents per 1000 scfm.
Typically air systems deliver compressed air at 25 to 30 cents per 1000
scfm. |
To
accurately profile an air system you must simultaneously record all
aspects of the air system including Energy Flow, Air-Pressure, & Water
Consumption
