| Popis: | The compressed air applications are highly used in the industrial sector due to its easy transportation, safety, purity, cleanliness and storage capacity. In many regions, compressed air system accounts for about 10% of the industrial electricity energy bill. However, compressed air is expensive because around 30% of the consumed energy is used for these systems in an industrial facility. Energy used to be lost as leaks, pressure drops, heat, misuse, among others. Several energy efficiencies measures help to improve energy savings in companies such as: pressure reduction, reduce the inlet air temperature, use a well-calculated capacity tank for storage, control heat recovery and reduce leaks, giving potential energy savings in a range between the 20% to 60%, with a return of investment not higher than two years. As result, this document analyzes the energy efficiency measures that can be considered for compressed air systems applications, calculates the energy saving potentials, and assesses a case of study in a company in the city of Barranquilla. |
