Optimizing Compressed Air Production
Using the power-to-airflow profile measured during the
System Profile,
we can adjust the maximum target airflow downward to reflect the demand reduction
resulting from the previous step.
If there is only one compressor, then we can estimate the efficiency of that compressor
under the newly modified demand profile.
We can compare it with other compressors, using the compressor control
type comparison data from Compressed Air Challenge ®
and published CAGI data
from major air compressor manufacturers.
Percent of Full Load BHP Versus Percent of Full Load Capacity
Compressor Energy Solutions maintains a comprehensive database of CAGI data sheets from
Atlas Copco, CompAir, Gardner Denver, Ingersol Rand, Kaeser, Quincy, and Sullair.
With a library of more than 800 air compressor models, we give you vendor-independent
assessment tools to find the best fit for your needs.
