Air Audit of Supply Side Reveals Promising Opportunities !
Performance Evaluation of Supply Side
It includes the analysis of compressor room, compressor’s performance, its control techniques and auxiliaries.
Compressor Room Evaluation
Our experienced air audit team will evaluate the your compressor room that if the compressor room is suitably designed to support the efficient running the compressors and the whole system.
Following tasks are performed during Air Audit.
- Compressor's Layout
- Piping Layout and Sizes
- Ventilation System
- Line Filters
- Maintenance Check List
Compressor's Performance Testing.
In this step, Air Audit team will use insertion type flow meters to measure the real-time air delivery of compressor. Concurrently , portable phase power is used to measure the power consumption of the compressor. So that key performance indicator of the compressor i.e. kW/m³/min can be calculated.
Air Audit team is well equipped with latest portable type flow meter for both wet compressed air i.e. just at the discharge of compressor and for dry air i.e. after air dryer, to meet the clients requirements.
Following tasks are performed during Air Audit.
- Realtime Power Consumption of Compressors
- Free Air Delivery of Compressors
Compressors Control System Analysis.
Compressor control techniques are very crucial especially when there are more than one compressors in a facility. Inefficient multi-compressor control technique can waste 10-30 % of your energy.
Our Air audit team log different parameter such as the compressors running patterns, pressure, air flow, dew point etc., over an extended period of time by using stat of the art sensing and datalogging instruments.
Following activities are performed in Air Audit
- ON / OFF Load Running Patterns of Compressors.
- Pressure Bandwidth Settings
- Power Consumption Profiles of Compressors
- Air Demand of the facility.
- Pressure Profile of System
Auxiliary Equipment Analysis
There are many auxiliary equipment inside a compressor room. Air audit team will evaluate all of them for performance evaluation. For example, dew point is indicator of the dryness of air. This not only highlight the performance of the dryer but also check for excessive energy consumption by air dryers.
Following activities are performed in Air Audit.
- Dryers Performance Test, Through Dew Point
- Line Filters
- Moisture Drain System
Thermography of Compressor Room
Our Air Audit team will conduct thermography survey of compressor motors, air ends and electrical panels of compressor room to identify any anomalies, before it goes disastrous.
Following activities are performed in Air Audit
- Thermography of Compressor's motors/air ends/heat exchangers
- Thermography of Electrical Panels
Compressor's Motor Efficiency Testing
Our Air Audit team is equipped with latest ”FLUKE 438 II Motor efficiency analyzer”. All compressors motors are tested for the real-time efficiency. Rewinding of motors and derating decreases motor efficiency which translate into energy loss. This test helps top management to decide for replacement of existing motors if required.
Following activities are performed in Air Audit.
- Compressor's motor efficiency testing.
Power Quality Analysis of Compressor Room
Our Air Audit team will conduct power quality analysis with stat of the art three phase power quality analyzer ”FLUKE 435II” to identify important power quality issue such as Harmonic Distortion , Current and voltage imbalance. surge and swells, flickers, KVA, KVAr, p.f. etc. Power quality greatly effect the motor derating, energy loss and life expectancy.
Following activities are performed in Air Audit.
- Quality analysis of compressor's input electric power.
