Atlas Copco launches free Compressed Air System Health Check

While it is obvious that a compressed air system operating at peak efficiency saves money, not every operator is aware of just how healthy their installation is – and with upward spiralling energy costs there has never been a better time to find out.

The Health Check is a non-intrusive service that doesn’t interfere with production processes and examines the entire air supply system highlighting every energy-consuming feature.

In detail, the Compressed Air System Health Check programme includes monitoring and inspecting the running of the compressors as well as the capacity and fitness of the dryers and all the ancillary equipment such as receivers, filters, drains and oil/water separators. It also examines the state of the controls and monitoring system together with that of the pipework and general system.

After the assessment process, the Atlas Copco engineer will provide an on the spot written assessment that shows exactly where matters can be improved and savings can be made.

Experience shows that the highest levels of compressed air system efficiency are invariably obtained through a combination of factors, so the Health Check will immediately put operators in a position to make an assessment of their priorities to meet desirable levels of energy and cost efficiency.

Once checked, Atlas Copco will be able to assist with the implementation of any necessary improvements deemed to be of benefit to economic plant operation.

With the Health Check, compressed air plant operators have nothing to lose but a little of their time, and in today’s financial climate that may prove to be the best investment they will make.
