Compressed Air Assessments
Trained by the Compressed Air Challenge...

BASIC COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM ASSESSMENT:
A basic system assessment of a compressed air system is the first level of analysis. Depending on the complexity of the system, a basic system assessment can be conducted by either trained plant personnel or by an experienced compressed air system efficiency expert, like Air Industries, Inc. Using readily available data combined with limited measurements, an expert can identify system inefficiencies and make recommendations that will result in energy cost reductions.

COMPREHENSIVE COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM AUDIT:
A comprehensive system audit is the top level of system analysis, conducted by an experienced compressed air system auditor, like Air Industries, Inc. It is a detailed analysis of the entire compressed air system, and may have been preceded by a basic system assessment. Measurements and data logging are generally part of comprehensive compressed air system audit procedures.

The customer's objectives and system problems are discussed prior to the start of the audit, and the proposed procedures are explained. The objective is proper management of the complete compressed air system for optimum efficiency and reliability. This includes alignment of the supply side (compressors, their controls, aftercoolers, dryers, filters and primary air receivers) with the demand side (distribution piping system, secondary air receivers, and all of the end-uses of compressed air, including leaks), in conjunction with the needs and financial objectives of the business unit.
