Monitoring

Compressed air is one of the most expensive energy sources used in our industrial plants. However, most compressed air systems have large energy savings potential. Easy-to-implement master control and monitoring systems provide crucial system information including the key performance indicators required to manage air compressors and their associated energy costs. Master control systems run air compressors based on actual air demand and automatically select the most energy efficient compressor combination.  They reduce unwanted unload running time and wasted energy, regardless of air demand, and continuously provide essential compressed air performance and cost information.

Most segments of industry continue to have little information on what their compressed air system is doing. Little performance and efficiency data or cost information is available for a very expensive system. Accurate data to charge compressed air costs to different departments in the facility in not retrievable. It is common to have compressed air cost assigned to departments by using the amount of square feet the process or a department uses in the factory – not the amount of compressed air it uses! This provides no incentive to save compressed air at the department level.

Multiple air compressors are installed in most facilities. As the facility grows, more air compressors are added.  It is common to see more than one air compressor room serving the facility with a complete lack of an overall air compressor control strategy.

Monitoring services includes products which are used to monitor the compressed air from supply side till demand site.The monitoring products are as follows:

• Current sensors 
• VP Flow Terminal
• VP Studio Software
• Dew Point Sensors
