Modern Planning in the Field of Compressed Air

In the past, people only consider the initial investment and operating energy costs such as some simple economic factors, they often overlook the influence pollutants in the compressed air for system when established a compressed air system, thus ignoring the compressed air quality (it can not reach standard will bring huge invisible waste for enterprises), and these losses are often much higher than the high quality purchase and operating costs of purification equipment. Perhaps many companies believe that compressed air equipment just little impact when select ordinary one, but what will actually appear on us?






In the 1980s, the industry lagged far behind today, the developed countries put forward ISO8573 standards for the purity of compressed air as for different gas equipment, while it failed to supply the gas equipment standard of compressed air, which caused serious impact, such as shorten the service life, decrease accuracy, increase failure rate, poor quality, and the safety, quality, cost of the enterprise. until now, China's enterprises less than 5% compressed air can reach standard, remaining about 95% the enterprises cause consumption of cost, waste of resources due to the annual compressed air can not reach standard, but these still do not let many enterprises make a change.

From the purchase cost, a good purification equipment is bound to be higher than the ordinary purification equipment, of course, the corresponding post-maintenance process will be relatively reduced. For ordinary one, you will consider replacement cost of pneumatic components, the loss of downtime of equipment failure, the loss of defective products, shorten life of pneumatic equipment, equipment depreciation costs, etc. you can buy a lot of excellent quality purification equipment about post-maintenance process cost.

Compressed air belongs to the basic equipment of modern industry, its energy consumption accounts for about 10% ~35% of its factory, which means that the enterprise basically has compressed air equipment, and the enterprise thinks that there is no need to reform and update for purify the equipment as long as it can be used. However, purification equipments are in line with gas requirements of the enterprises to reach more stable performance, energy-saving, which not only enhance the overall technology level of enterprises, then greatly reduce the production costs, but also respond call on the national energy-saving emission reduction.

Some people believe that select the corresponding processing accuracy of a single filter not only can meet the requirements, but aldo can save money. In fact, there is no pretreatment protection of the front-end filter, the high-precision filter will soon be blocked due to excessive load, this also speeds up the replacement frequency of the filter cartridge, and increases the production cost, although the required air quality of single filter is determined by the processing accuracy. 

Compressed air purification equipment always mentioned filter cartridge, no matter whether it is physical purification (activated carbon, HEPA net), or electrostatic purification, chemical purification (photocatalytic, formaldehyde scavenger, pharmaceutical catalyst), or water washing method , the negative ion method. the continuous purification will make the filter gradual polluted after purifying contaminant in the compressed air, resulting in gas flow becomes smaller and pressure drop becomes increased in the system, meanwhile power consumption will rise, so it will increase lead to operational and production costs, and the environment burden.

Thus, the shortcomings of the traditional compressed air is still very large, then you need to have a modern industrial development rules if you want to improve this situation. Now Tutu summarize the following points as for the traditional compressed air status:

1. Make the compressed air as clean and dry as possible, without excess water;

2. Overall comparison of cost, low price purification equipment is not as good as the purification of high efficiency with high price, so choose purification equipment of comprehensive low cost;

3. You can carry out appropriate upgrades to reduce the overall cost and achieve the effect of energy saving and emission reduction if there is already a relatively traditional purification equipment under the situation of no need full renew equipment;

4. It should be matched with a set filters, rather than a single filter if you want to much better filter out air pollutants, which not only achieve the quality of compressed air, but also reduce replacement cost of single filter due to big load blocked;

5. As for the replacement of the filter, it’s not the best way to save costs by never replacing or frequently replacing, you need an appropriate time to replace the filte,r which ensures the power consumption and low production costs, and also reduces the environment burden.



Advancing with the times is not only for our personal or enterprise, but also for a field(it’s also very important). While the traditional rules of compressed air has been unable to keep up with modern life, so modern rules of compressed air field is the inevitable product of the times!
