US EditionHow to improve the energy efficiency of a compressed air system
- In 2023, a system audit at Mikron Industries identified leaks across about two-thirds of its facility, costing $157,000 annually.
- This event highlights common inefficiencies in compressed air systems, which often waste up to 90% of electrical energy as heat.
- Compressed air systems power many industrial tools but consume significant energy, so addressing leaks and optimizing controls improves efficiency.
- Implementing heat recovery increases system efficiency by repurposing waste heat, though it does not directly reduce compressor energy consumption.
- Following audits, maintenance, training, and adopting heat recovery can cut costs and foster a culture of sustained energy efficiency in facilities.

How to improve the energy efficiency of a compressed air system Compressed air is critical in many industrial and nonindustrial applications, including powering pneumatic tools and conveyor systems, cleaning equipment and airfilling amusement park objects. While pressurized air is an indispensable source of power, compressed air systems are some of the most energy-intensive machines. Improving the efficiency of a compressed air system can positi…
Assessment of the impact of shaped nozzles installed inside the pipeline on the energy efficiency of compressed gas systems
Pressure pulsations and vibrations generated in gas discharge pipelines are one of the main causes of failure in a compressed gas system. Installation of shaped nozzles in the compressor discharge manifold is one of the new ideas to minimize this phenomenon. It has been proven that shaped nozzles technology is able to minimize the unfavorable phenomena of pressure pulsation and thus the pipeline vibration. The production of such components using…
