Thorite has teamed up with Norgren to produce a free guide to energy saving in compressed air systems. Industry wastes around 30% of the compressed air it generates - in a typical 1,000 cfm workshop installation this equates to £12,000 per year.
Compressed air wastage results from leakage, misuse, over pressurisation, pressure drop, inefficient generation, lack of maintenance and poor installation engineering. The new guide clearly demonstrates how to cut waste and to increase compressed air usage efficiency, with the resulting cash savings clearly laid out.
An Energy and Safety section also shows how components fitted for safety reasons, such as pre-set regulators and shut off valves, can also make important contributions to energy savings.
Best of all, the solutions to each problem are explained, the expense of carrying out remedial work shown and the nett savings highlighted - and in every case the resulting savings are out of all proportion to the minor outlay required.
The Guide to Energy Saving is available now from any of Thorite’s nine regional Sales and Service Centres located in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East, or can be ordered directly from the company's website.
