Every additional two pounds of pressure can increase your power consumption by 1%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.Save on Cleaning <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Consider a dedicated low pressure air compressor and air line for cleaning to save power. <\/p>\n<p><strong>3.Consider a Variable Frequency Drive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Screw compressors should run under full load. If the usage pattern varies, consider a variable frequency drive (VFD) for up to 35 percent in energy-cost reduction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.Size Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Identify the right-sized compressor for the requirement. An oversized compressor will run on unload mode, leading to higher power consumption. Use our product finder to determine size.<\/p>\n<p>Bigger isn&#8217;t always better. An oversized compressor will run inefficiently causing short cycling, using more energy and more consumables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.Request an Air Audit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An air audit could help save thousands by ensuring compressed air system efficiency. Contact our experts in your area to request an air audit. <\/p>\n<p><strong>6.On Time Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Delaying an air filter change will increase the compressor\u2019s power consumption. Schedule on-time service with a service provider in your area for optimal power consumption. <\/p>\n<p><strong>7.Quarterly Checks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perform quarterly checks for leaks in the compressed air circuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.Calibrate Gauges<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Calibrate the pressure gauges at quarterly intervals to accurately measure leaks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>9.Dryer Sizing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Identify the right-size and type of dryer needed for your requirement. Over drying air and oversized dryers will end up costing you more. <\/p>\n<p><strong>10.Pre-filters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Install pre-filters for suction air and cooling air to extend the life of the compressor and its consumables. <\/p>\n<p>Contact us to find a service provider near you or learn more about our products.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4808,"template":"","tags":[47],"class_list":["post-7658","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-energy-efficiency","resource-category-blogs","resource-category-knowledge-center"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.9 -
