  1. CAGIPerformance Verification and More

  2. Overview • What is CAGI? • Performance Standards • Performance Verification and Datasheets • DOE Potential Regulation • Other Activities

  3. What is the Compressed Air & Gas Institute? • Non-profit, 501(c)(6) association • Membership comprises manufacturers of compressed air system equipment • Formed in 1915 • Focused heavily on technical and educational activity • Mission: The united voice of the of the compressed air industry, serving as the unbiased authority on technical, educational, promotional, and other matters thataffect the industry.

  4. Institute Sections INSTITUTECOMMITTEES What is the Compressed Air & Gas Institute? BOARD OF DIRECTORS Air Drying and Filtration Standards Blowers Educational & Promotional Centrifugal Compressors Pneumatic Tools Rotary Positive Compressors Reciprocating Compressors System Assessment

  5. Performance Standards • CAGI develops, or participates in development of, many standards related to compressed air systems. • Standards for Testing and Rating (performance standards) are particularly important • ISO 1217 for positive displacement compressors • ISO 5389 for turbocompressors • ISO 7183 for compressed air dryers • ISO 12500 series for compressed air filters • BL 5389 for blowers • Strong preference for international standards • Partnership with PNEUROP • Secretariat of relevant US TAG

  6. Performance Standards • Latest Standard: CAGI BL 5389 for Turbocompressor Blowers • Wire to Air, Package Performance • Specific Power • Simplified Test Code Proposed to be an Annex to ISO 5389 • Part of Broader Standard to Cover PD and Dynamic Blowers (BL 300, Tentative) • Free Download on CAGI Website

  7. Performance Verification • Standard Datasheets to Report ISO 1217 Performance (Package Specific Power) for PD Rotary Compressors • For Refrigerated Dryers, Datasheet Based on ISO 7183 • Datasheets restricted to use only by participants in program • Participation in the program is voluntary • Datasheets posted on manufacturer websites

  8. Performance Verification • Data Verified by Independent 3rd Party-Intertek • Compressors –5-200 HP rotary compressors • 11 Participants, and additional entries to the program are expected to bring participation to 12 in 2014 • Random testing of VSD compressors has begun • Oil free models added in 2014 • Scope expanded down to 5 HP in 2013 • Dryers –200-1000 SCFM • 5 Participants, and additional entries to the program are expected to bring participation to 8 in 2014

  9. Performance VerificationCompressor Participants • Atlas Copco • BOGE • CompAir • FS Curtis • Gardner Denver • Ingersoll Rand • Kaeser • Mattei • Quincy • Sullair • Sullivan-Palatek

  10. Performance VerificationDryer Participants • Atlas Copco • domnick hunter • Ingersoll Rand • SPX • Zeks

  11. Performance Verification

  12. Performance Verification • Sign agreements with CAGI and 3rd party • Prior to participation, must pass qualification tests cleanly • Normally, conduct correlation tests with lab before beginning qualification process • Must post datasheets for all scope products • AFTER all technical work complete

  13. Performance VerificationSuccessful? Working? • Enthusiastic reception from utilities and energy efficiency advocates • Becoming a prerequisite for doing business in some instances (incentives) • Datasheets pages most accessed on CAGI site • Datasheets being used internationally

  14. Performance VerificationPotential Future Activity • Continued expansion likely • Larger Machines • Blowers • Centrifugals? • Filters? • More participation expected • Modifications to adapt to DOE activity

  15. Potential DOE Regulation • January 2013 – DOE issued statement of potentially including compressors under Part A, of Title III of the EPCA or the Energy Policy & Conservation Act • January 24, 2014 – DOE issued notice of public meeting and the Rulemaking Framework Document was released • Hearing was rescheduled & held on April 1, 2014 • CAGI submitted a document addressing the points of interest, input, or concern • CAGI committed to supplying statistics, inputs, recommendations to assist the DOE consultants on this project

  16. Potential DOE Regulation Timetable: Somewhat aggressive • Now-Nov 2014: define the framework and rule(s) • Dec 2014-Nov 2015: Preliminary analysis and stakeholder impact. Compressor Manufacturers, distributors, compressor users, suppliers will be interviewed • Nov 2015-July 2016: Establish final rule & effective date • July 2016-June 2021: • Statutory time required for compliance. • July 2016 Effective Date for the regulatory rule to be finalized – or the “the clock starts” • June 2021 or the Compliance Date –all must be in compliance or face penalty.

  17. Potential DOE Regulation Final Thoughts: • Coordination with EC Lot 31 activity. • Not unanimity among energy efficiency advocates. • Great Uncertainty, on many levels.

  18. Compressors – EMPLI Project • What is EMPLI? • Objective • Participants • Where do compressors fit? • CAGI Position: Standards and Process Must be Aligned with DOE Activity • CAGI Supports objective and is working to advance project. • The Board approved the project and the member companies agreed to support the initiative • Engineering Work on standards, methods, tiers • Data collection and analysis

  19. Compressors – EMPLI Project • Initial Product: Rotary positive air compressors (screw & rotary vane) 5-100 hp • CAGI members will initiate development of a tiered program for defined scope of compressors – • Target to a baselineplus a minimum of 2, maybe three tiers • Will use a tier or level structure vs. bronze-silver-gold so the bar can be raised as newefficiency opportunities develop

  20. Compressors – EMPLI Project • CAGI agreed to add isentropic efficiency ratings to the data sheets • Will help in the tier classifications • Alignment with Europe Lot 31 • Some caveats / concerns: Cannot use isentropic efficiency alone to select equipment • CAGI started a very aggressive scatter diagram of “package specific power” performance, or power in – compressed air out.

  21. Compressors

  22. Compressors – EMPLI Project • Next steps: • Definition of Gaps/Barriers by July 2014 • We do NOT anticipate issues or gaps • Select proposed tier or level breaks after further analysis • All sections coordinating activity (regular conference calls with CAGI staff for updates on DOE Rulemaking, EC Lot 31, and EMPLI projects)

  23. Personnel Certification Program • Developing Personnel Certification Program for System Assessors (auditors) • Goal: Help users / owners / operators of compressed air systems identify compressed air system assessment professionals who possess the necessary expertise to properly conduct assessments. • Based on ASME EA-4 Standard and Related Guidance Book • Developing a Training Program as Well as Certification / Exam • Training in Conjunction with CAC

  24. Personnel Certification Program • Initial Focus: Full Assessment (audit) • Possible Expansion • CAGI Certifying Body • To Be Accredited by ANSI to ISO 17024 Standard
