At Southern Manufacturing 2012, Gardner Denver (CompAir) will be offering visitors practical advice on some of the latest technologies that can improve compressed air efficiency. The company’s engineers will be on hand on stand P19 to offer free air audits and practical advice on maintaining the efficiency of CompAir compressors.

Running a compressor can have a major impact on a company’s energy bill so reducing fuel consumption can have significant financial advantages whilst also helping to meet the ever-increasing energy legislation that affects modern European industry.Commenting on the reasons for attending the show, Managing Director of Gardner Denver, Colin Mander said, “We are committed to improving performance and efficiency for our customers, whilst helping them to lower their impact on the environment”.

By distinguishing air pressure requirements, power consumption, flow rates and parameters, CompAir’s engineers are able to give a free air audit. The information can be used to identify ways to improve the efficiency of the visitor’s existing installation.

This can include recommendations on choosing the right size and mix of fixed and regulated-speed compressors, switching to a new energy efficient model, leak detection and installing a heat recovery system.
