32 for pressure problems, compressor operational problems, or even problems with peak system air demands causing low pressure. System monitoring programs will have a dashboard of real-time energy performance indicators. In addition, the data may be calculated hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly for easy comparison. If any numbers change, it should be assessed, and immediate actions can be taken. • Pressure transducers should monitor the compressor discharge, the dryer discharge, Benefits of a compressor monitoring system • Significantly improves compressor efficiency. • Maximizes system reliability. • Fix baselines and take immediate actions if there are any deviations. • Quantifying leakage rates. • Minimizes maintenance costs. and the pressure output of the compressor room for each compressor room area. This will allow to track pressure differentials across system components and ensure the equipment is regulating the pressure correctly. • Power sensors/transducers should be installed on all significant energy uses inside the compressor room. • Flow meters should be installed at important points in a system like before and after the receiver drier and before the header line near utility. Differential Pressure flow meter to be installed in the locations. • Makes operating your air system easy. • Improves productivity. • Reduces system’s unscheduled downtime. • Reduces idle running hours. Considering the plant operating condition, it is recommended to integrate the compressed air units with EMnS system which will optimize the energy consumption.
