10 tips to save compressed air (free eBook)
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in your manufacturing plant, often accounting for a significant share of total energy consumption. Inefficiencies such as leaks, pressure losses, inappropriate use and poorly controlled compressors can silently drive up operating costs and CO₂ emissions. Yet many facilities lack clear insight into where and how compressed air is actually being used, making it difficult to identify and prioritize savings opportunities.
With the right measurement and monitoring, however, compressed air systems can be optimized effectively. By understanding flow, pressure, and consumption patterns, you can uncover hidden losses and take targeted actions to improve efficiency and reliability. In this eBook, we present ten practical, high-impact tips to reduce compressed air consumption and help you achieve immediate and sustainable energy savings.
1. Shut off sections and machines that you do not use
A simple manual or motorized valve can save you thousands of euros/dollars. Make sure that air is not lost through leaks or machines standing in idle mode. Flow meters help to determine to which sections air is flowing.
2. Breathe cool, fresh and clean air
A compressor converts 90% of its power into heat. The compressor room heats up, while a compressor uses less energy to compress cold air. 3°C cooler air, already results in 1% energy savings.
VPVision: the solution for energy monitoring
The advantages of compressed air monitoring are clear. But which system do you use for this? One very complete solution for energy monitoring is VPVision. VPVision makes energy savings simple, fast and cost-effective. The VPVision monitoring system collects information via analogue sensors and Modbus/TCP sensors, which are installed strategically in your factory. The data of your sensors are collected and stored, and can be viewed in real time on any PC via Ethernet. The VPVision dashboard can be arranged to fit your needs. Via alarms and reports critical information is send to your email inbox.
