Downside of using large VSD oil free screw compressor
[Oil free air insight know how] Today I want to touch up on a subject that is not commonly known and often underestimated.“Using a large oil free VSD rotary screw compressor which needs to cover a wide capacity range”.Large means above 200 kW Let me first state that...
What is real oil free air ?
There are applications in industry that require clean air. And by clean we mean very clean. So the degree of purity.This purity is laid down in an ISO standard. This ISO standard is 8573-1: 2010. It describes 7 classes that indicate how many solid parts (for...
The environmental impact of diesel driven air compressors in temporary projects
When large production facilities have problems with their air supply temporary compressed air (oil free) can be the solution in many cases. However, many companies choose a diesel driven air compressor as it is a quick fix; they are easy to install and they are...
Pressure Dew Point (PDP) Explained in compressed air systems
The measure of how much water vapor there is in a gas is called dew point temperature. Not to be mixed up with pressure dew point. The term “pressure dew point” is used when measuring the dew point temperature of gases or compressed air at pressures higher than...
Compressed air energy storage (CAES)
Compressed air energy storage is a method to buffer energy generated at times of overcapacity for use at another time. This means that energy generated during periods of low demand (off-peak) can be utilised to meet high demand (peak load) periods.Traditional...
Avoid high ambient air temperatures and save money !
During the summer period operation costs for compressed air installations rise unnecessarily. Due to high ambient temperatures in the compressor room decreases the efficiency of compressors and dryers dramatically. At the same time the number of technical failures...
Why use oil free compressed air ?
The use of compressed air is very common in many companies and industries. Compressed air is a utilitylike electricity and natural gas. Compressed air is a safe form of energy. It runs processes and tools in small garages , in medium sized factories and in large...
Why dry compressed air is so important?
The term for the amount of water vapour in air is humidity. Just to be clear, “humid air” is not the same as “moist air” (which is a mixture of water vapour and other substances or particles in the air). Humidity is defined as the total mass of water vapor per given...
