Why is hydrogen difficult to compress?

In the event you missed our erudite comparison of compressed air system components to a football team, we’re back to talk more about integrated control systems – the coaching staff in our previously mentioned analogy, if you will.
Control systems provide system managers with the ability to monitor system dynamics and make adjustments to various components like dryers and valves as necessary to help ensure the compressed air system operates with optimal efficiency and performance.
That’s why we developed Elektronikon®, the state-of-the-art compressed air monitoring system that can even be operated remotely to provide complete control even when you’re not at the facility. Tactile keys on the touchpad interface provide simple yet comprehensive control that provides all the information needed for everyday oversight of the compressor, including monitoring, safety and service needs.
Monitoring capabilities display compressor operating status, hours meters of load, unload, and total, programmable timers to match system operation with production demands and schedules, as well as temperature and pressure readings and access to compressor controls and settings. Elektronikon® safety features include compressor warning indicators, including system alarms, and safety indications.
Why are integrated compressor controllers important? For one, they provide additional opportunities for energy savings through management of operating hours, which also means saving money. By including a controller, you can also forecast preventative maintenance issues and operations to help avoid unexpected shutdowns. And when Elektronikon® is installed on different compressors, it can be monitored in cascade from a single location (and yes, a mobile app is available).
Compressed air is a critical function, and integrating a controller helps your system operating as efficiently as possible. Like the coaching staff, it monitors the situation and adjusts the strategy to make sure the whole operation runs at peak efficiency. Tell it what to do, and it speaks your compressed air system’s language. And yours as well – our Elektonikon® is only available in 32 languages.
