What are the energy saving methods for air compressor systems

Facing the challenges of global climate change and environmental ecology, countries and industries in the world are actively taking action to find a way for energy-saving development. The so-called energy saving is to reduce energy consumption as much as possible, and produce products of the same quantity and quality as before.

　　 As the basic product of industrial modernization, modern industrial manufacturing cannot do without air compressor equipment. The energy consumption of the air compressor is huge, and the energy saving of the air compressor is necessary. The energy-saving technology of the air compressor is to reduce the energy consumption during its work.

　　 frequency conversion speed control

　　 In the application of air compressor, frequency conversion speed regulation can greatly improve the energy-saving performance of air compressor. The speed of the air compressor is adjusted according to the output signal of the flow sensor, so that the air compressor can accurately output the required reflux, realize high-precision flow adjustment, and ensure that the air compressor can operate safely and efficiently.

　　Suction pressure adjustment

　　 Choosing the right suction pressure can effectively reduce the compressor efficiency. In general, the lower the suction pressure, the greater the energy consumption, especially the suction pressure of the compressor section. Therefore, the suction pressure of the compressor can be appropriately increased, and a high-efficiency cyclone inlet separator can be added in the first stage of the suction to further eliminate the resistance of the intake pipe network, and obtain a higher suction pressure while ensuring sufficient processing air volume.

　　 Pressure drop between compressor sections is reduced

　　 The pressure drop between compressor sections is also an important reason for compressor power consumption. In order to reduce the pressure drop between sections, high-efficiency heat exchangers can be used to replace inter-stage coolers to reduce unnecessary piping equipment and elbows, while improving operating conditions and reducing the degree of fouling of the cooler.

　　 Pipeline layout optimization

　　In order to further reduce the pressure drop in the pipeline, the pipeline layout needs to be adjusted to improve the rationality of the pipeline layout. Pressure loss can be used to assess whether the layout is reasonable (the pressure difference between the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure does not exceed 5%). In the pipeline, the equipment that can cause pressure loss mainly includes dryers, coolers, control valves, elbows, etc.

　　Daily maintenance

　　 The daily use and maintenance of air compressors also have a great impact on the energy-saving effect of air compressors. In daily use, air compressor equipment should be used in a standardized manner, preventive maintenance measures should be taken to reduce the failure rate of the air compressor, and maintain the working performance of the air compressor.
