Maximising eco efficiency

25 February, 2016

Such a staged response would achieve excellent energy savings and also be realistic as far as manufacturers are concerned. After all virtually all OEMs are already firmly on board with energy savings and it gives them time to do the necessary research and development and further improve their products.

Future moves

Going forward oil free and low pressure compressors will now be considered; these having been excluded from the original report for various reasons. The Commission has appointed the same study writer to review these compressor categories and initial meetings have been held to establish the requirements and scope of the study. It is anticipated that the regulation for oil free and low pressure compressors would be completed by mid-2018.

As a consequence of new legislation on its way, there is a need to update some of the existing compressor performance standards. This work is ongoing and appointed specialists are in the process of drafting their responses.

So work continues and it is important that as an industry we remain actively involved in helping to define our own future. Energy efficiency is quite rightly at the top of the agenda, but it is the manufacturers who deliver these results. Sensibly collaboration is the order of the day, which is why it is important to have your views expressed through PNEUROP by BCAS.
