How to shorten the no-load running time of the compressor

After completing the inspection of each air compressor in the compressed air supply system, we can start analyzing and optimizing the working conditions of the air compressor station and the application of compressed air. Through analysis, the energy-saving potential of existing systems can be identified to develop energy-saving optimization measures for compressed air supply systems. The most important thing in this stage is whether the measures formulated are in line with the actual requirements. Only when the load running time of the hollow compressor in the system is the longest, or when the no-load running time is as short as possible, can the energy-saving optimization of the system be achieved. In addition, it is necessary to minimize the leakage of compressed air and lower the working pressure of compressed air as much as possible. Because reducing the pressure by 0.1MPa is equivalent to saving 6% to 8% energy. By taking measures, the load running time can be as long as possible, the no-load running time can be as short as possible, and a constant pressure at the lowest pressure level can be achieved, that is, better configuration of the air compressor station can be achieved.

 

Next is to use an air compressor with adjustable speed, combined with an air compressor operating under load and no load mode. The advantage of this air compressor configuration method is that the compressor with basic load in the air compressor station covers the range of basic pressure requirements, which will not cause the air compressor station to work within an uneconomical working range. If the required amount of compressed air exceeds the basic load demand and there is a peak demand for compressed air, some areas can be covered by a compressor with adjustable speed. By utilizing this solution, the compressed air volume provided by the compressed air system can accurately meet the current practical needs, avoiding high energy consumption no-load operation, expensive unloading time, and loss of compressed air during the unloading process. This can achieve high energy savings, eliminate peak loads during the start of the compressed air system, optimize the pressure range, and achieve constant working pressure.

 

 

Once again, a compressor energy consumption control configuration method that is controlled by the upper level and related to energy consumption is adopted. In this configuration, high flow compressed air is mostly generated by multiple compressors with load no-load regulation. At some point, the intelligent energy consumption control system controls the air compressor to start and stop according to the required amount of compressed air, and adjusts the pressure range of all air compressors according to energy-saving principles.
