How can air compressors save energy and electricity

In recent years, energy conservation and environmental protection have been pushed to the forefront. With the strong support of national policies and the increasing awareness of energy-consuming enterprises, many energy-consuming enterprises are responding to the call of the state to carry out energy-saving transformation of energy-consuming equipment. Air compressors are indispensable power equipment in industrial production. Air compressors consume a lot of electric energy while working. This is also a headache for many large energy users. Many energy-consuming companies have begun to realize The importance of energy-saving presses to enterprises. So, how can air compressors save energy and electricity?

　　 How can an air compressor save energy and electricity?

　　 1. Reduce air pressure loss

If air leaks in some places during the operation of the air compressor, it will inevitably increase the working load of the air compressor and waste more electricity. In the air compressor, the air intake valve is prone to leak air, so the air intake This part of the valve needs regular maintenance to reduce pressure loss. First, the flow resistance and pressure loss of the gas path system must be minimized under the premise of meeting the process, such as installing as few valves as possible, and the suction line as short as possible; secondly, use Large-diameter pneumatic system and low-speed air delivery; once again, to reduce leakage inside and outside the equipment; high-quality pneumatic components must be used.

　　 2. Improve heat exchange performance and recover waste heat

There are three types of gas compressed by screw air compressors in the market: isothermal, adiabatic, and variable. In theory, isothermal compression consumes the least energy, but in actual operation, it is variable compression. In order to improve compression efficiency, cooling is required. Efficiency, by reducing the cooling water problem, increasing the flow rate, and clearing the deposits in the pipeline, cooling performance can be provided.

The air compressor will generate a lot of heat during operation. If the heat is lost to the air, it is a loss and will also cause air pollution. If the air compressor performs waste heat recovery, energy can be reused. Energy can be saved to a certain extent.

　　3. Energy-saving transformation of air compressor

　　 The above-mentioned air compressor energy-saving methods also have certain limitations. The best solution at present is to transform the air compressor for energy-saving.
