Our extensive experience of compressed air has taught us that, regardless of a compressor's size:

• The amount of compressed air needed varies according to consumption peaks;
• The greater the variation in compressed air consumption, the more energy is consumed per liter of air produced;
• Most installations require two or three compressors of different sizes.

Variations in the amount of compressed air needed causes constant loading and emptying of the compressors or choked intake.

• If a compressor operates empty, energy is wasted while no work is performed;
• If a compressor operates with choked intake, it consumes more energy than would be required to produce the same amount of compressed air.
  • A) Electrical Consumption 7%
  • B) Investment 12%
  • C) Maintenance 9%
  • D) Installation 2%
