Efficiency of Compressed Air Distribution and Piping
Think
about efficiency for a minute. Every year with constant innovation, things are becoming even more efficient. Everything from electronics
to industrial machinery are being developed to get more done faster while using less power.
The same is true for Air Compressors, having a compressed air distribution system that is inadequate will lead to higher energy bills, low
productivity, and poor air tool performance. There are three main demands which must be addressed to avoid inefficiency.
Low pressure drop between the compressor and the point of consumption
Minimal leakage from the distribution piping
If no dryer, making sure there is proper condensate separation
These demands primarily apply to the piping installation for current and planned compressed air consumption. Routing, design, and making
sure you are using the proper dimensions for your compressed air piping is important for the efficiency, reliability, and cost of compressed
air production.
Rather than increasing a compressors working pressure to compensate for large pressure drops, which can decrease efficiency, it is
recommended to evaluate the fittings. The best option for optimal efficiency is designing a closed loop ring pipe system. Once installed,
pipes can branch out and run to various consumptions points. This approach will provide uniform compressed air supply as air is delivered to
the consumption point from two directions.
Setting up your compressed air system for optimal performance with minimal pressure drops and leakage is important for achieving ultimate
efficiency and a great place to start is to look at your piping installation.

These high-efficiency rotary screw air compressors feature variable speed drives, remote monitoring and heat recovery options. ALUP air compressor is covered by an optional 5 years warranty.
The three most popular air compressors 45 kW, 55kW and 75 kW are available for sale from stock in Auckland. Chat to our experts, we will help you to answer questions about what can you use the compressor for, what compressor is the best and learn all about air compressor efficiency.
The team at AshAir specialises in oil-free or oil-less scroll compressors with zero risk of oil contamination, and are ideal for critical applications including medical, pharmaceutical, dental, R&D, food & beverage, wine and brewery. Our 100% oil-less scroll compressors are designed with fewer moving parts, which means less wear and tear, less noise, higher efficiency and reliability, and a longer machine life .
These scroll compressors use cutting-edge scroll technology where the spirals never contact each other, and no lubrication is needed, making them completely oil-free. Our SPR 20 Multi oil-less scroll compressor operates with variable air delivery, controlled by an intelligent controller for air delivery supplied according to the fluctuation of air demand. This means a higher energy efficiency and more stable system pressure.
