Open end to atmosphere

20 June, 2014

less than 2 years for the purchase, installation and commissioning of 4 large Beko FRA-V dryers. Ongoing annual savings of more than £250,000 where attractive but another important customer benefit was that they could abandon their plans to add another large compressor into their network. This would have been very costly because alongside the capital and running costs there would have to have been a large investment in creating a space suitable for a large compressor to add to their very large system. Users of oil free compressor should also the consider the use of ‘Heat of Compression’ types of dryer which take advantage of the higher temperatures generated in s dry compressor as opposed to an oil lubricated type, to use the heat for regeneration of a desiccant. The message is clear and simple. Compressed air is the 4th utility but it is expensive and should be used selectively. When looking at energy saving possibilities the factory engineer should be serious looking and thinking “Have I got these open ends to atmosphere?” If the answer is yes then an action plan to reduce or eliminate should be high on his agenda. www.beko-technologies.co.uk
