Abstract

An efficient compressed air system does not just happen; it is the product of good planning to ensure minimum pressure loss in the distribution system and the removal of most contaminants. Obviously an inefficient system results in higher cost per unit of compressed air, shortened components life and reduced capacity of compressor. These problems all cost to industry million of dollars a year. This paper highlights how to improve the performance or efficiency of compressor and how to overcome the air leakages in the compressed air system such that it impact on energy conservation techniques in minimizing the energy loss in Industries.
