It’s our second day meaning our second tip, getting your compressed air system ready for winter!
Have you considered a heat recovery system?
Air compressors are mainly utilised to provide the so called fourth utility, or compressed air, but while doing so, the air compressors also generate great amounts of heat, which can be recovered and used in various processes within a plant or facility. In optimal conditions, as much as 90 percent of the heat produced by compressing air can be recovered. A heat recovery system can offset the cost of producing hot water for washrooms and equipment cleaning and act as a heating source for a workspace, warehouse, loading dock or entryway. Look for rebates or grants from the local utility providers to help offset the cost of investment in a new, more efficient equipment with energy recovery capabilities. Some utility providers offer grants to promote sustainable energy, which is used towards heat recovery systems, and for replacing a fixed speed compressor with a variable speed driven model. Please contact your local utility provider or a compressed air sales professional for more information on these special offerings. Useful tip: If winter-proofing your compressed air system feels too daunting, invest in an ongoing maintenance plan from your air compressor provider. Well-maintained plants are often the most energy efficient and suffer from less downtime as compared to the plants that avoid making maintenance a top priority.
