Load shedding focuses many engineers’ minds on making efficient use of the available energy, especially, if the power supply is from a generator set.
Air compressors are a major consumer of power and much of it ends up as air leaks in the factory distribution system. Energy is easily wasted by poorly performing air compressors that waste electricity and do not provide the rated air flow rates. Energy wastage is not sustainable and escalates production costs.
Ultrasonic Leak Detection
Artic Driers offers compressed air and vacuum and steam ultrasonic leak detection – this verifies the volume of the leak as well as the Rand cost of the wastage! It’s a great systematic way of quickly eliminating wasted compressed air from your system. Clients can purchase or hire the detector sets.
Benchmarking Compressed Air Usage
Artic Driers International also provides clients with efficiency tests that show the actual kW consumed/m³, this establishes the compressor efficiency and highlights the poor performers in your compressor fleet.
Along with this, they provide localized, mobile air flow monitoring of any pipework system, this includes airline velocity, dew point pressure, and even water consumption on the compressor.
Velocity is great for identifying when a pipeline is becoming too small for the existing flows, undersized pipes restrict air flows and decrease the pressure to applications, ie., it wastes your precious power.
The use of a fixed installation, S305 dew point monitor is a great way of monitoring the existing air dryer’s dew point performance at a very reasonable price. This can be connected to a SCADA system to give fast-track performance reports.
Mobile Quality Testing
For clients that require ISO 8573 air auditing in a mobile format. Artic is able to monitor particle, dew point, and residual oil levels from one mobile S600 audit box and they are also able to monitor a variety of gases via the same mobile box.
We can perform audits on a routine rotation to ensure that clinics and hospitals comply with in-house and international standards.
