improvements in the Inherent Inefficiency of Compressed Air Systems

From News Desk

RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, offers a vast selection of smart pneumatic automation and control products designed to reduce the inherent inefficiency of compressed air systems.

Compressed air is a safe, reliable energy source that’s been used to power industrial processes since the 1880s. Today, it’s commonly used to power automated manufacturing and packaging processes.

While it’s long been common knowledge that compressed air systems are inherently inefficient — losing at least 80% of their electric input energy to heat and another 5–10% to leaks, artificial demand and inappropriate use, their reputation as safe, flexible, durable and low-maintenance frequently made up for that. Now though, the sustained influence of Industry 4.0 megatrends, including efficiency and sustainability, has industrial professionals, ranging from maintenance engineers, plant managers and reliability technicians to buyers in the manufacturing, utilities and industrial maintenance sectors, reconsidering its employment.

The combined effects of these efforts — and especially the implementation of smart automation and control products, including pneumatic control valves, air preparation systems, flow sensors and pneumatic actuators, can reduce compressed air systems’ energy consumption by 20–50% in addition to reducing maintenance needs and overall costs and improving equipment uptime, reliability; and product quality.
