Compressed Air Leakage Audit

Compressed Air Leakage Audit Services are a critical component of energy management for industrial and manufacturing plants. These services help in identifying opportunities to improve the efficiency of compressed air systems and save energy costs. The following are some of the sub-topics related to Compressed Air Audit Services:

  1. Compressed Air Flow Measurement by a Portable Flow Meter:

The first step in any compressed air audit is to measure the actual compressed air flow rate in the system. This is done using a portable flow meter that is attached to the compressed air line. The flow meter measures the flow rate and provides accurate data that can be used to calculate the efficiency of the compressed air system.

  1. Compressed Air Leakage Survey by Ultrasonic Air Leak Detector:

Compressed air leaks can be a significant source of energy waste in industrial and manufacturing plants. These leaks not only waste energy but also lead to reduced system performance and increased maintenance costs. A compressed air leakage survey using an ultrasonic air leak detector can identify and locate these leaks. This helps in repairing the leaks and improving the efficiency of the compressed air system.

  1. Free Air Delivery Test:

Free Air Delivery (FAD) is the amount of air that a compressor can deliver at a given pressure and temperature. The FAD test measures the actual amount of air that the compressor can deliver, taking into account factors such as pressure drops and leaks in the system. This test helps in determining the efficiency of the compressor and identifying any opportunities for improvement.

  1. Compressed Air Quality Testing:

Compressed air quality is critical in many industrial and manufacturing processes. Impurities in the compressed air can affect the quality of the final product and lead to increased maintenance costs. Compressed air quality testing involves measuring the level of impurities such as moisture, oil, and particles in the compressed air. This helps in identifying any issues and taking corrective actions to improve the quality of the compressed air.

  1. Energy Efficiency Assessment:

Energy efficiency assessment involves analyzing the entire compressed air system to identify opportunities to save energy costs. This includes evaluating the efficiency of compressors, air dryers, filters, and other components in the system. The assessment helps in identifying any areas of inefficiency and recommending solutions to improve the overall energy efficiency of the compressed air system.
