As the Australian industry recovers from the effects of Covid 19, there is a huge emphasis on reducing energy costs associated with running plants and equipment. Pressures are also mounting in keeping pace with carbon reduction and environmental issues. With the cost of generating compressed air being the highest annual energy cost in many industries, the compressed air industry worldwide is striving to find efficiency improvements in order to be a provider of power now and into the future.
With international chain constraints, opportunities for growth in Australian manufacturing create a demand for compressed air equipment that can keep up with new technologies and applications.
It is imperative for businesses to minimise energy use whilst increasing productive output. Compressed air operators must critically assess their current system for inefficiencies and calculate input energy to determine the need for upgrades to new equipment.
New compressed air technologies such as Kaishan Compressors 2-Stage PMV (Permanent Magnet Variable Frequency) rotary screw compressors, utilise advanced, high efficiency motors to generate equivalent or greater air delivery with far less input energy usage than conventional motors. While fixed speed compressors deliver a constant air flow, the variable frequency control only delivers air to match demand by the end use application. This means zero cost while the compressor is idle and lower costs during low demand. Integrated with advanced system design and in-line components these world class compressors ensure longevity of service with minimal maintenance. 2-Stage technology means that overall compression ratios are divided over two distinct airends resulting in less internal slippage and greater output.
Independent tests clearly demonstrate that utilising these new age technologies can save energy costs to far in excess of capital system costs in a relatively short service period.
Custom system design, the right compressor for the application, professional installation and regular preventative maintenance are the formula for peak operating efficiency to meet the demands of industry around the world.
