How efficient is your compressor?


Operating an industrial air compressor represents the largest energy cost and therefore the largest opportunity for savings.


Fixed speed compressors deliver NO air during the offload running, but can still consume between 20-40% of full load power.


Airchannel uses the Data logging device - SmartAir - to measure the actual energy consumption of a compressor. The device is quick and easy to install and DOES NOT interrupt the operations!

Based on the readings a report is produced which shows actual readings, potential energy savings and most importantly recommendations.


So far, the biggest savings shown are for fixed speed compressors above 11kW.


Each of our Area Sales Managers carry at least one of the data logging device's in the boot of his car, so get in touch to organize a FREE data logging exercise!
