Fundamentals of Compressed Air Systems

Learn the basics on optimization of compressed air systems


In the U.S. industrial sector, compressed air systems account for $1.5 billion per year in energy costs, and 0.5 percent of emissions. Many industries use compressed air systems as power sources for tools and equipment used for pressurizing, atomizing, agitating, and mixing applications. According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy optimization of compressed air systems can provide energy efficiency improvements of 20 to 50 percent.

Join Focus on Energy at this one day workshop brought to you in collaboration with the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the Compressed Air Challenge.

In this one day workshop you’ll learn how to
  • Calculate the current cost of your plant’s compressed air systems.
  • Measure and create a baseline of system performance.
  • Determine the impact of different compressor control types.
  • Establish proper system operation and maintenance.
  • Find and fix leaks.
  • Tailor a compressed air system management action plan for your plant.
