Your compressed air system is a big energy consumer. Improve its efficiency, and your operational costs and CO2 footprint will plummet. As a bonus, you get more reliability, machine availability and minimal downtime.
Atlas Copco’s approach focuses on reducing the overall energy bill, which means that we look through your compressed air installation, from compressed air generation to the distribution network and demand.
Understand your compressed air system
With AIRScan, we inspect your entire air system, from the compressors via the air net to the demand side.
It reveals any weak spots in your installation, identifies the best solutions to fix these weaknesses, and provides accurate savings calculations for each of these solutions.
Empowered by the insights from the AIRScan report and guided by expert support from Atlas Copco, you can start implementing the solutions that will make a real difference.
Repair compressed air leaks
Did you know that up to 20% of the energy consumption in your compressed air system could be lost to air leaks? That’s a lot of money you are blowing away.
Tighten your pressure band
Lowering the system pressure is a great way to save energy. Matching the air demand within a narrow pressure band makes all the difference.
In a multiple compressor installation, compressor control systems contribute to a more accurate pressure output and reduced energy consumption. Upgrading equipment to our latest technologies invariably results in efficiency improvements.
Recover thermal energy
During air compression, heat is generated. This is diverted to the cooling system and released into the atmosphere. However, this thermal energy can be put to good use. That’s where Energy Recovery comes in. It recovers the heat so it can be used for workspace heating, hot water or industrial processes. Your compressor is “creating” energy. Don’t let it go to waste!
Monitor your compressed air installation
SMARTLINK enables you to follow up on the performance and service status of all the equipment in your air compressor room. Detailed reports help you keep track of your energy efficiency, also allowing Energy Management according to ISO 50001.
SMART AIRnet monitors various parameters, such as flow pressure and humidity at critical locations to safeguard the quality of your compressed air network.
An Air Quality Plan captures all critical air quality parameters and processed via SMARTLINK.
