Compressed air optimisation: energy management guide

In a business context, optimal compressed air management plays a key role in achieving significant results in terms of energy savings and efficiency. By reducing waste and optimising systems, companies can benefit from a positive impact on operating costs and the environment. With the advice and solutions provided by OSAir, an Italian company specialising in industrial machinery with a focus on energy efficiency, it is possible to implement targeted strategies to maximise the benefits of proper compressed air management.

A loss of compressed air within an industrial plant can have a significant impact on business costs. Losses not only represent a waste of valuable resources, but also contribute to increased operating expenses due to the continuous need to recharge the system. In addition, compressed air losses lead to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the plant, resulting in energy inefficiencies that negatively affect the company's bottom line. It is therefore essential to monitor the system closely and take prompt action to minimise any dispersion. With the support of OSAir, it is possible to implement strategies aimed at optimising the use of compressed air and reducing costs associated with energy waste.

Here are some practical examples of the impact of compressed air leaks:

A small leak of just 3 mm in a pipe can generate up to €2,500 in additional costs per year, depending on the number of hours the system is in operation. If we consider a 15 kW compressor operating 8,000 hours per year, a leak of 10 litres per second at 7 bar can translate into an extra cost of around £3,200 per year. These figures show how even seemingly negligible leaks can have a significant impact on business costs.

This is why it is essential to monitor and take prompt action: OSAir offers tailor-made solutions to reduce waste and optimise energy efficiency.
