  1. Compressed Air Systems Optimized What you really need and how to get it at the total lowest cost. Go to www.JimMcAuley.com

  2. US DOE Compressed Air Challenge

  3. Where the air is used

  4. Key Benchmark What you get out for what you put in: Standard cubic feet per minute per Kilowatt 5 Scfm/Kw at 100 psiG is good performance Dynamic Efficiency

  5. Flow meter installation Details

  6. Bin analysis of Demand Requirements

  7. Allocated Cost model Dollars per hour per 100 Scfm Total annual cost divided by hours of operation divided by average flow rate in hundreds of Scfm $1.00 to $2.00 is typical cost for a big system

  8. Closely Meeting Demand with flexible supply units A

  9. Example of screw compressor systemoptimization BLT

  10. ISO 8573-1Air Quality Classifications A

  11. Drainage BP • Use zero loss drain technology at after coolers, dryers, and filters. • Institute daily operational checks. • Keep cleaned and ready spares for immediate deployment.

  12. Distribution piping Standards A

  13. Dedicated storage with metered recovery A

  14. Critical uses • Requirements over 85 psiG • Actual final element article pressure required • Requirements for desiccated air • Online standby power for intermittent loads

  15. Inappropriate uses • Dewatering • Drying • Vacuum generation • Parts manipulation Blowers or regulation to lower pressure, engineered nozzles, interlocking solenoids

  16. Leak Management A

  17. Your action Plan • Go to www.JimMcAuley.com and execute the Plant Managers self evaluation checklist. • Continuously measure your flow and power in real time. • Consider a professional evaluation by a US DOE qualified specialist. Go to www.compressedairchallenge.org
