Air is free, but compressed air is not free!

Compressed air as an energy source, when comparing the value of electricity input with the value of delivery, an improper compressed air system costs more than water, electricity, steam or even natural gas.

A compressed air leak is the same as throwing money into the water!

The kind that doesn't bubble up yet!

In the current compressed air system of Chinese enterprises, energy waste is mainly manifested as large leakage, compressor configuration and operation only for the purpose of maintaining pressure, unreasonable supply pressure, inefficient air gun nozzle, waste of equipment gas, weak awareness of gas cost of on-site workers, and so on.

But the performance is obvious, the problem is serious is the compressed air leakage, and did not get enough attention.

The leakage of compressed air systems in general factories in our country usually accounts for 20-40% of the air supply, and poorly managed factories may even be as high as 50%! This means that half of your monthly air compressor electricity bill is leaked out like this!

This is not alarmist talk!

Leakage is widespread in the field, and sometimes there are tens of thousands of leakage points in an automobile welding workshop. Through the investigation of these leakage points, it is found that the leakage is mainly generated in the rubber hose joint, triple piece, quick change joint, solenoid valve, threaded connection, cylinder front end cover, etc:

Leakage is not born, but is formed with the aging or breakage of parts during use.

60-70% of the on-site leakage is life leakage, which comes from equipment that has been used for more than 5 years. 10-30% is found in equipment that has been used for 1-4 years. However, the leakage caused by improper installation or product leakage during the equipment installation stage only accounts for 5-10% of the total leakage.

It can be seen that the existence of leakage is not terrible. What is needed is our correct understanding of leakage and the regular inspection and maintenance of equipment required.

In the factory, it is not realistic to plug the leak in a complete sense. Even if a large-scale plugging campaign is adopted, the leak will reappear after half a year.

Therefore, for enterprises, plugging work should be normalized and must be implemented as a daily work, so that leakage can be dynamically controlled at a low level.

Economic benefits of leakage and plugging

As the saying goes, "To eliminate waste is to increase efficiency"

To produce compressed air, the compressor needs to consume a large amount of electricity. At the same time, enterprises also need to bear the purchase costs of compressors, maintenance costs and personnel management costs.
