The Challenge:
Our client was utilising a 132kw fixed-speed air compressor, which was oversized for their operational needs. This compressor operated on a load cycle of 8 seconds on and 40 seconds off, leading to excessive energy consumption and unnecessary costs.
Our Air Compressor Solution:
To address the challenge, we proposed replacing the 132kw unit with a more suitable 90kw fixed-speed compressor. This adjustment not only matched the client’s requirements but also reduced load times, resulting in significant energy savings.
The Results:
Thanks to the installation of the 90kw fixed-speed compressor, our client achieved remarkable savings of 207.4kwh per day. Over a 25-working day month, this amounted to an impressive 5185kwh of electricity savings.
Taking It Further:
To maximise efficiency and savings, we recommended upgrading to a 90kw Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressor. Operating at 50% capacity, this unit drew only 50kwh, leading to substantial energy savings of 320kwh per day compared to the initial 132kw fixed-speed unit. Over a month, this translated to an outstanding 8000kwh saved.
Our Winning Recipe:
At Debon Air Compressors, we understand the critical role of choosing the right compressor size and technology in optimising energy consumption. Our case study highlights how selecting the appropriate compressor can result in significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
