Industrial Energy Savings
The Compressed Air Challenge® has released the Second Edition of their authoritative “Best Practices for Compressed Air Systems©”.* The Best Practices manual provides tools needed to reduce operating costs associated with compressed air and to improve the reliability of the entire system. The 325-page manual addresses the improvement opportunities from air entering the compressor inlet filter, through the compressor and to storage, treatment, distribution and end uses, both appropriate and potentially inappropriate. Numerous examples of how to efficiently control existing and new multiple compressor systems are provided in one of the many appendices.
The Best Practices manual created by the Compressed Air Challenge® begins with the considerations for analyzing existing systems or designing new ones. The reader can determine how to use measurements to audit their own system, how to calculate the cost of compressed air, and even how interpret electric utility bills. Best practice recommendations for selection, installation, maintenance, and operation of all the equipment are included in each section.
*The Best Practices for Compressed Air Systems© manual is a product of the Compressed Air Challenge®, co-authored by Bill Scales and David McCulloch, and is not associated with Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine.
