Ultrasonic detectors Uses

• Walk through your factory and identify all compressed air uses and, if possible, the flow and pressure requirements of each.

• Program to eliminate any inappropriate uses of compressed air.

• Determine the cost of compressed air for your factory by periodically monitoring the compressor operating hours and load cycle.

• All equipment in the compressed air system should be maintained in accordance with manufacturers specifications.

• Set a reasonable target for cost-effective leak reduction - up to 10% of total system flow is typical for industrial applications.

• Once leaks are repaired re-asses your compressed air system supply.

• A rule of thumb is that every 2psi increase in operating pressure requires an additional 1 % in operating costs.

• Air flow to unused equipment should be shut-off as far back in the system as possible.

• Reduce the distance the air travels through the distribution system.

• Check with the compressor supplier for performance specifications at different discharge pressures.
