Q. What to consider when selecting and operating an air compressor system?
A. Prioritise variable-speed drive (VSD) compressors, which adjust output to match demand, reducing energy consumption during low-demand periods. Implement leak detection and correction programs and ensure a well-maintained system to optimise efficiency. Consider heat recovery systems to repurpose wasted heat for other industrial processes, enhancing sustainability.
