Energy optimisation system

Optimised operating costs, reduced maintenance costs and energy efficiency are all key benefits which are claimed to be achieved by integrating the Airtelligence energy optimisation system into a compressed air system with multiple compressors.

The system is a microprocessor-controlled multiple compressor energy optimisation system which can simultaneously control, manage and optimise up to 16 compressors.

The "intelligent' controller also has the ability to forecast additional or reduced demand. Once detected, the controller automatically switches the compressor choice to ensure system optimisation, virtually eliminating load/no-load run cycles. This optimises the energy use creating immediate savings in compressed air-related energy costs. Crucially, pressure can be controlled to within 0.1 bar "” every 1 bar reduction in pressure nominally saves 10% in generation costs.

Continual management and monitoring is assured with the Airtelligence software that reports on flow volume and operating status of all compressors in the system, maintenance intervals, error alerts and energy consumption and costs for the entire system as well as for each individual compressor. The controller is suitable for optimising an existing compressed air system and can be integrated into any multiple compressor installation including any variety of compressor models and makes.
