Book Description
The Compressed Air Challenge, initiated by DOE, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, and the Energy Center for Wisconsin, is in keeping with OIT's mission of partnering with industry, and other government and non-governmental organizations, to significantly improve the resource efficiency and competitiveness of the materials and process industries. They are working to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial compressed air systems, and in the process help industry realize reduced operating costs and increased production.

Book Description
In 2000, The Visteon automotive glass plant improved its compressed air system at its automotive glass plant in Nashville, Tennessee. This improvement allowed Visteon to save $711,000 annually, reduce annual energy consumption by 7.9 million kilowatt-hours, reduce maintenance, improve system performance, and avoid $800,000 in asbestos abatement costs.

Operation and Maintenance Procedures for Improving Compressed Air System Efficiency

Book Description
Air compressors are a significant industrial energy user and therefore a prime target for industrial energy audits. The project goals were to develop a software tool, AIRMaster, develop a methodology for performing compressed air system audits, and conduct field audits to refine the methodology and assess savings potential from six common Operation and Maintenance (O & M) measures. AIRMaster and supporting manuals are designed for general auditors or plant personnel to evaluate compressed air system operation with simple instrumentation during a short-term audit. AIRMaster provides a systematic approach to compressed air system audits, analyzing collected data, and reporting results. AIRMaster focuses on inexpensive Operation and Maintenance measures, such as fixing air leaks and improving controls, that can significantly improve performance and reliability of the compressed air system, without significant risk to production. An experienced auditor can perform an audit, analyze collected data, and produce results in 2-3 days. AIRMaster reduces the cost of an audit, thus freeing funds to implement recommendations. AIRMaster proved to be a fast and effective tool. In seven audits AIRMaster identified energy savings of 4,056,000 kWh, or 49.2% of annual compressor energy use, for a cost savings of $152,000. Total implementation costs were $94,700 for a project payback period of 0.6 years. Available airflow increased between 11% and 51% of plant compressor capacity.
Saving Energy with Energy Efficient Compressed Air Systems

Book Description
Compressed air is a versatile medium used in industry for performing a variety of tasks. It is, however, not cheap. By the time it arrives at its point of use, the energy consumption and costs of the system are already high. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating ways of making compressed air systems more efficient. This brochure describes how a thorough investigation of a compressed air system can highlight many areas for saving energy. Improvements can be made by optimising the compressed air cycle itself and the compressed air usage, or by such obvious good housekeeping measures as plugging leaks.
