Q: What is the future of energy efficient compressor technology?
The future of air compressor technology lies in the variable speed drive compressor. Before the introduction of highly energy-efficient VSD technology, a traditional load/unload compressor of the same type suited some manufacturing processes better than a VSD compressor. Now, with the introduction of VSD+ compressors that can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%, the traditional load/unload type of compressor can be replaced with a VSD compressor for the majority of processes. Additionally, the return on investment for switching to a VSD compressor is higher and the payback time is shorter than ever before.
The evolution of air compressor technology is a lot like the automobile industry. As new technologies that reduce fuel consumption without sacrificing performance are perfected, more drivers are demanding the new technologies in order to save money and contribute to a healthier planet. The air compressor industry is also revolutionizing technology and offering a more sustainable option for compressed air users.
With rising energy costs and growing demands for environmentally sustainable processes, it is more important than ever to implement technologies that reduce energy consumption. By investing in new technology, compressed air users can reduce energy consumption and operation and maintenance costs while increasing performance and contributing to a healthier, more sustainable planet.
