Compressed air is an expensive utility in your manufacturing plant. We provide you with ten tips how to lower compressed air consumption and thereby save energy.
During the commissioning of a new combustion test facility in the propulsion lab of the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the TUDelft, VPInstruments equipment was used. A performance test was executed on the Gas supply system. The goal was to verify the theoretical calculated maximum volume flow over time. Due to the simplicity of installation of the integrated datalogger the test was very easy to execute. The availability of pressure, temperature and flow readings in one log file in combin

Technology is evolving at a fast pace and the way we think about energy is changing with it. How does this affect compressed air? We get in touch with compressed air specialist Hakan Yigittas, owner of Turkish company Yigittaslar Endustriyel Filtrasyon Ve Basincli. These are four compressed air trends you need to watch out for in the next five years.

Check out our latest video about compressed air consumption and savings in glass production plants. The glass industry is one of the biggest consumers of compressed air. It is used a.o. in the production process itself for glass blowing, but also transport and packing. The compressed air consumption can take up to 25% of the electricity bill and savings can be up to 50%! Don’t waste any more time and stop your air being blown away.
Compressed air is an expensive form of energy, since most electricity used for power generation is converted into heat. Further losses downstream make compressed air the #1 utility to focus on when you want to start saving energy in your production plant.
Compressed air – air pressed together as in the tires of your car – is one of the most commonly used forms of energy in production companies, in addition to electricity. As much as 10% of al
A snapshot in argon control, by VPInstruments.
As an industrial gas professional, you are no doubt more than aware, but it’s sometimes worth asking ourselves and our customers the question – do you know that argon is a ‘precious’ gas? It is not flammable, and it’s used for a wide range of applications; from creating a special atmosphere around the metal being welded to prevent oxidation of the material during the process, to its use for the packaging of meat and food to pr

A global glass container manufacturer in the Netherlands leaves no stone unturned when it comes to product quality, plant uptime and energy conservation. That’s why it upgraded its compressed air system used to produce more than one billion glass bottles and containers per year.
To improve the delivery of compressed air at the plant, which is supplied by low-pressure and high-pressure compressed air systems, the manufacturer took an important first step by using ai

Get your flow measurements right by selecting and installing it properly. This is key for your compressed air and gas flow measurements. A flow meter provides great insight into your consumption. Based on its measurement data, the right investment decision can be made for optimum energy savings and performance improvements. If, however, you have the right instrument for the right job! These questions help you collect the right information for your flow meter selection and to select the right
