Energy saving solutions
July 04th 2010

The generation of compressed air can often account for 15-25% of a companies total electricity consumption. It follows that making energy savings in this area can have a major impact on reducing the energy consumption of your business as a whole.

ALUP employs class leading technology, firstly by analysing your system over 7-10 days to precisely monitor your pattern of use and other important criteria, this then allows it to produce a comprehensive report on your current system. This report also illustrates the savings that are available when using ALUP variable speed technology. We also provide an illustration on the investment costs for such equipment and  the pay- back on this investment.

ALUP variable speed compressors can save you energy and here’s how;

• ALUP Variable Speed Compressors only produce the amount of compressed air required by the system- You only pay for the compressed air that you use.

• ALUP Variable Speed Compressors operate in a way that avoids costly off load/idle operation- Most compressors consume significant amounts of energy even when they are not generating compressed air, our technology avoids this wastage.

• The operating pressure from our compressors can be adjusted precisely to meet the demands of the system and constantly controlled to this level- This avoids the over- pressure generation required with most compressors resulting in  a further 6-8% reduction in power consumption.

• ALUP compressors are fitted with EFF 1 motors and high efficiency elements – Maximising all possible energy savings.

We are sure that for most customers the return on investment when using our equipment is extremely attractive. By reducing your energy bills and improving your efficiency we feel that we really contribute to your business. The Carbon Trust also provide interest free loans to most users based on the savings provided when using our equipment. The availability of Enhanced Capital Allowances also, means there as never been a better time to explore the opportunities when switching to ALUP – Energy Saving Technology in Compressed Air.
