We all know that compressed air is one of the most important utilities in the manufacturing industry. But it’s also one of the largest consumers of energy. In many compressed air installations there are often significant energy saving solutions that can be realized by employing Atlas Copco’s energy and air consultants who will determine an acceptable operating balance to satisfy your production needs and minimize your operational running costs.
So how do our customer support engineers deliver savings solutions to your operations?
Atlas Copco offers three energy monitoring services, including an individualized AIRScan audit that fits your operation’s budget and can range from basic inspections to a full audit survey. There is no need to worry about downtime or production interruptions because the audit runs while you run.
During a full AIRScan audit the flow check measures the delivered flow of the compressed air; a power check measures the actual consumed energy over a predetermined interval; a leak check identifies, tags and quantifies leaks throughout the system which can then be repaired; an air quality check measures the quality of air and makes sure it is in line with specific manufacturing needs; and a maintenance review assesses the effectiveness of the current service program.
Using the logged information, a detailed report is compiled, including cost analysis, graphs and a list of recommendations for optimizing your system’s performance. Our engineers will then propose solutions and help you implement the changes.
Atlas Copco is committed to sustainable productivity and customer satisfaction and that’s why we’re giving away 140 free MBox Lite studies, as part of our 140th anniversary celebration. The MBox study is another compressed air system auditing tool that profiles your production air requirements and costs.
