Prep for Winter

Our final tip for getting your compressed air system ready for winter is here!

Locate and repair leaks

It is often difficult to locate or hear an air leak within the compressed air piping system, but that ds not mean that air leaks do not exist. On the contrary, depending on the age of piping system and its configuration, air leaks can account for 25% or more of compressed air usage within a given plant. Air leaks can be classified as artificial air demand, as they exist to only waste compressed air and do not serve any purpose other than causing your compressed air system to run inefficiently. Some larger leaks can be heard and can easily be catered to, but it is the smaller ones that should require the most attention before they become a bigger problem and cause potential pressure drops and interruption in the production process. Smaller leaks are difficult to detect, therefore it is advised to invest in a compressed air audit in order to recognize and repair the existing leaks, which will lead to higher productivity and efficiency from your compressed air system.
