Air Compressor - Energy Efficiency

Air Compressor - Energy Efficiency

Why save energy?

Furthermore, you may be eligible for an interest free, energy-efficiency loan from The Carbon Trust towards the cost of your energy savings solution

Auditing

With energy costs ever increasing the need to control the cost of your systems compressed air is becoming increasingly important. Our engineers will install state of the art logging equipment which will allow us to forward a detailed survey on your compressed air systems condition with particular reference to energy and the operating efficiency of the system.
Following a full analysis of your systems energy and air usage we will forward a report on potential ways to generate energy savings via various methods dependant upon your site specific needs.

Direct Air & Airco are committed to providing energy efficient solutions for your sites compressed air requirements.

Energair Compressor Management Systems

Direct Air & Airco can provide comprehensive advice on the market leading compressor control package manufactured by Energair.

Harnesses individual air compressor pressure set-points & controls target system pressure within fine limits to reduce generating costs, and ensures that the most efficient compressors (irrespective of manufacturer or type) are employed in the most efficient combination to suit a fluctuating air demand pattern. The Energair management systems are capable of controlling up to 12 air compressors in single or multiple compressor locations. Pressure imbalance between compressor locations can easily be overcome using the unique operating software provided with EnergAir Management controllers.

Retrofit Variable Speed Drive:

If you have a fluctuating air demand profile on site yet have enough air compressor capacity then why not convert an existing air compressor to Variable Speed? Direct Air & Airco offer retrofit variable speed drive systems that are designed for use with all positive displacement air compressors and include the necessary components to complete integration of the drive with the compressor (excluding cable). The drive will convert an existing fixed speed air compressor to a variable speed drive air compressor and is fully compatible for integration with the EnergAir management system.
