AutomationCommon Compressed Air Wastage Areas
Air Leakage
Leaks in piping, fittings, valves and equipment can create continuous and avoidable air demand.
Excessive Pressure
Higher-than-required system pressure can increase compressor energy consumption.
Open Blow-Off
Uncontrolled compressed air use for cleaning and cooling can create unnecessary demand.
Equipment Leaks
Pneumatic equipment and control devices may consume air even when operating conditions are not optimal.
Pressure Drop
Restricted piping, filters and poor distribution can cause pressure losses across the plant.
Idle Equipment
Equipment operating without production demand can continue consuming compressed air.
Inefficient Controls
Poor compressor sequencing and control settings can increase system energy consumption.
Artificial Demand
Unnecessary air use can result from unsuitable applications and inefficient operating practices.
