Q: What causes an increase in the power usage of an air compressor?
A: Insufficient or leaking air leads to frequent starts of the compressor, and frequent starts mean high energy consumption.
Five factors that may affect the energy consumption of an air compressor: ambient temperature, inlet pressure, operating efficiency, isothermal efficiency, and exhaust pressure.
For example, high compression ratios, poor cooling systems, and clogged filters can also increase energy consumption.
Solution:
1. Energy-saving renovation, the common approach is to install inverters;
2. Adopt two-stage compression air compressor model;
3. Adopt permanent magnet frequency conversion screw air compressor. It is also possible to reduce the energy consumption of the air compressor.
