Leaks are a significant source of wasted energy in a compressed air system, often wasting as much as 20-30% of the compressor’s output.
Compressed air leaks can also contribute to problems with system operations, including:
• Fluctuating system pressure, which can cause air tools and other air-operated equipment to function less efficiently, possibly
affecting production
• Excess compressor capacity, resulting in higher than necessary costs
• Decreased service life and increased maintenance of supply equipment (including the compressor package) due to unnecessary
cycling and ...View More
