![]() Reduce pressure drops by fitting a differential pressure probe: By fitting a differential pressure probe to either side of the filter the effectiveness of the filter element can be monitored. Production can be halted if too much condensation is passing through after the dryer. The compressor should be optimised to consume as little energy as possible to keep costs low.Įnsure dryer is removing sufficient condensation: Following the dryer, an FA510 Dew point sensor can be installed to ensure that the dryer is removing enough condensation. Insert the air flow meter: Behind the compressor insert the VD500 flow meter to get a direct flow of the wet air which will allow for the calculation of the amount of energy needed to compress 1m 3 of air or how much power is used to generate 1m 3/min. Precise consumption is provided with Active power in kW, Apparent power (kVA), Reactive power (kVar) and Active energy (kWh). This combined with a CS PM5110 Power meter will provide precise data on power usage by the compressor. Stages for setting up and monitoring a compressed gas systemĪttach a Clamp-on ammeter and Power meter: In front of the compressor attach a Clamp-on ammeter which is recommended for audits and will determine the load/unload/stop cycle of the compressor. To reduce leaks and incoming contamination a selection of flow meters, air quality controllers, pressure monitors and ultrasonic leak detectors can be combined to monitor the compressed gas system. To achieve this, leakages should be reduced with the location and fixing of leaks being responsible for a possible 42% of total savings. Reducing leaks to help minimise your energy expensesĮnergy is the largest cost of production at around 73% so minimising energy expenses are key to maximum efficiency. ![]() Detecting these early may prevent expensive and disruptive events from contaminating the whole down-stream system. Most often these impurities build up over time, so it makes sense to install monitoring devices such as ‘oil carry-over’ and ‘dew point’ sensors. However, this mechanical process can result in impurities getting into the system and these can damage the machinery further down the production line. To create compressed air a machine is needed to boost the pressure of ambient air. ![]() Introduction Prevent impurities in your air system as early as possible Summarising our range of Calorimetric flow meters and Chart recorders.Stages for setting up and monitoring a compressed gas system.Complete management of your Compressed Air Monitoring Systems Table of contents
