Running at higher pressures than necessary increases system flow and power consumption, which raises compressed air expenses without providing any additional value to the end customer.

The process of High pressure compressor in Pakistan necessitates the use of energy. There is no getting around that; it is dictated by physics. For every two pounds per square inch increase in pressure, compressed air production necessitates an increase in power of approximately 1 percent. If the compressed air is not used at its maximum pressure, the energy is wasted.

For unregulated compressed air requirements, every psi increase results in a 0.9 percent increase in flow. Artificial demand is the term used to describe this additional influx. The increased flow places more strain on the air compressor, which must produce more power in order to maintain the higher pressure.

Approximately $900 would be spent on power to run a fully loaded 50 hp compressor 4,000 hours per year (two shifts) at 10 psi higher pressure for the increased electricity consumed. The additional costs associated with operating 24 hours a day would be around $1,800 per year.

If approximately 50% of the plant's demand is unregulated, the false demand expenses may increase by $800 for two shift operation and $1,600 for full time operation (typical).

These operators are frequently perplexed as to why their compressors are operating at high temperatures. If your facility operates at a pressure of 100 psi or more, lowering the system pressure may result in cost savings.

In the past, malfunctioning devices or even a blocked filter may have caused the plant pressure to rise in order to compensate. It is time to take your blood pressure reading!
