Air Compressor Case Studies

Direct Air has successfully installed two MAXIGAS nitrogen gas generators from Parker Domnick Hunter into Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (formerly Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems) to expand its capabilities and to save nitrogen gas costs.

The installation of a heat recovery system fitted to a Boge variable speed compressor reduces system energy costs.

Telford Yarns, a division of Brintons Carpets, is on track to make energy savings of up to £7,000 per year following the installation of a BOGE compressor system including a heat recovery package. In addition, the introduction of the Climate Change Levy in April means that the company qualifies for Enhanced Capital Allowances on several elements of the system.

Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems reduced their compressed air energy consumption by almost 30% when they chose Boge compressors and the expertise of Direct Air & Pipework to optimise their distribution system.

In late 2005 Dunlop Aerospace began experiencing expensive breakdowns and system in-efficiencies within their compressed air system.

To eradicate these inefficiencies Direct Air recommended upgrading the compressed air system by first replacing the ageing compressors. Subsequently, an energy-efficient Boge SF series frequency controlled screw compressor supported by two Boge S series fixed speed screw compressors, were installed.

The recent installation of a new Hydrovane HV22RS regulated speed compressor by Airco Pneumatics has provided Tridex Die of Gloucester with major energy savings.

Advice from a trusted distributor has led to annual energy savings in the region of £3000 for Tridex Die Limited. The recommendation made by Hydrovane distributor, Airco Pneumatics, was to replace a fixed speed compressor with a Hydrovane HV22RS regulated speed model to better match the company's considerably varying air needs.

In what is becoming something of a formality in the company’s order book, Teseo Air Systems have recently been installed on a major industrial production line, preferential on all fronts in a direct comparison against traditional galvanized steel compressed air delivery systems.

Revolvo, the UK's leading manufacturer of large bearings and Split Roller Bearings, is part of the Eriks group of companies with distributors operating across the world ranging from Western Australia to California. Revolvo's range of bearings supply the demands of traditional users as well as new industries such as Formula One motorsport. Teseo equipment is central to their operations.
