Compressed air system automation
August 10th 2009 INGERSOLL RAND HAS LAUNCHED A NEW RANGE OF COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM CONTROL PRODUCTS.
First of all… what is system control?
Think of system control as the “orchestra conductor” of the system. Think about it… the conductor doesn’t actually play any instruments. The conductor just instructs which instruments to play- when, in what combination, how loud, how fast …
The more able the conductor, the sweeter the music… exactly how it is with system control. Secondly… what need is there for system control? There are many reasons but the 3 main reasons from system operator’s point of view that we see over and over again are:
• There are often more compressors run than are required. This results in more energy, more maintenance, less back- up or standby capacity in case of breakdown.
• Often, the wrong compressors or set of compressors are operated. The result this time is wrong supply for demand, which the outcome is more energy & more maintenance.
• Not optimizing the pressure, results in more energy used, more air leaks and maintenance alongside poorer quality- in terms of pressure predictability and possibly production quality.
Ingersoll Rand feels that there is a much larger saving with System Automation rather than Basic Sequence Control. Typically, you will see a 12 month return on investment by automating your air system.
