Pneumatic audit is an important process of analyzing and studying pneumatic systems in order to improve their efficiency. A pneumatic audit provides a detailed examination of the entire system, including compressors, distribution networks, control valves and filters.
This process is aimed at optimizing system performance, identifying faults and problems that can reduce equipment performance. Pneumatic audits help reduce equipment operation and maintenance costs and improve production quality.
Stages of pneumatic audit:
- Pneumatic system analysis - survey of the entire existing pneumatic network of the plant.
- Measurements of compressed air consumption by consumers.
- Analysis of measurement results - identification of problem areas in the network and proposing solutions for their elimination, determination of the optimal variant of air supply.
- Equipment selection - selection of type, quantity, capacity, mutual location and mode of operation of compressed air sources based on the results of the analysis.
- Volume-planning solution of compressed air production and preparation line, ventilation systems of premises where compressor equipment is or will be located.
- Technical and economic analysis, which allows to evaluate the existing pneumatic system of the enterprise on the basis of objective technical and economic indicators of the supplied equipment and to propose its modernization or reconstruction.
