Selecting the right compressor goes beyond just meeting your compressed air needs. It requires careful consideration of factors like operating pressure, volume flow, and the air quality standards defined by ISO 8573-1:2010.
Efficient Compressed Air Preparation
Downstream equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining system efficiency and quality, both of which impact environmental sustainability. Sarmak’s latest in-house manufactured compressed air treatment solutions meet the highest quality standards to ensure optimal performance.
Compressed Air Audits
Performing an air energy audit is essential when investing in a new compressor or upgrading an existing system. It’s the most effective way to pinpoint inefficiencies and improve overall energy performance
Environmentally Friendly Technologies
Sarmak’s 100% Oil-Free Series compressors feature a highly efficient water purification system, producing high-quality injection water using reverse osmosis filtration. This enhances lubrication, sealing, and cooling processes. The addition of a permeate pump further reduces water consumption.
Specify the Correct Air Receiver Size
Properly sizing your air receiver is key to maximizing reliability and energy efficiency. Match the receiver size accurately to the application. An optimally tuned compressor control system minimizes the need for oversized compressed air receivers.
Correct Sizing of Downstream Components
When selecting filters, consider both validated separation efficiency (according to ISO 12500-1) and minimal flow resistance. Lower differential pressure across network components translates directly to reduced compressor energy demand.
Leakage Prevention
To conserve energy and avoid losses, routinely inspect your system for open shut-off valves and leaks in manual condensate drains, couplings, pipes, and flanges.
Variable Speed Drives
If sustainability is a priority, variable speed drive compressors provide the most energy-efficient solution. These systems automatically adjust motor speed based on real-time compressed air demand, ensuring precise and efficient operation.
Avoiding Idle Operation
Avoid unnecessary off-load running or idling, which leads to energy and cost wastage. Evaluate whether idling is essential and consider using variable speed technology or advanced control systems to improve efficiency.
Heat Recovery
Implementing heat recovery systems allows you to reclaim 70% to 94% of the energy used by air compressors. This significantly reduces operational costs, lowers CO₂ emissions, and supports a greener company profile.
