Compressed air savings revealed with software system
August 2011 Email to a friend   Comment on this article
Plant engineers can now assess their plants' volumes of wasted air, caused by leaks and pressure losses on their compressed air networks, using Parker Hannifin's Transair energy efficiency calculator software.

Compressed air savings revealed with software systemThe system, available free, is designed to estimate the associated annual costs, and gives plant engineers an early indication of the savings to be made by opting for a modern and correctly designed pipe network.

Adrian Foster, UK marketing manager for Parker Sales, says it's about demonstrating the benefits of the company's Transair modular pipework system, which is said to be fast, leak-free and constructed without crimping, gluing or welding.

He says the new software is fully verified and can calculate the potential gains of a new build project, using principal system characteristics, such as pressure, power or throughput, number of annual service hours, type of dryer, length of the main circuit, open or closed circuit and the diameter of the main circuit.

"Combined with our Transair pipe systems, this new programme is part of our long term strategy to help compressed air customers drive down their operating costs while improving functionality, productivity and profitability," states Foster.
