Compressed air is an energy carrier that is frequently used in many sectors, particularly in the use of production machinery and specific pneumatic tools. Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, losses during heat generation and distribution due to leaks can be up to 90 %. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This measure is required for every new compressed air system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The main tasks of a consulting engineering office (technical process specialist) within the scope of compressed air system optimisation are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The responsibility for compressed air is delegated to a designated employee within the company. This person’s role is to keep an eye on the compressed air equipment and is responsible for ensuring that it is continuously inspected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Each compressed air consumer and compressor is designed to operate at a specific pressure. It’s a question of finding the right balance between production, the network (with its load losses) and the various consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Renewing the system is an ideal opportunity to check whether waste heat can be used. The heat recovered can be used to heat domestic hot water or premises. The use of waste heat with a heat exchanger is generally economical if the compressor size is 15 kW or larger. If conditions are ideal, heat recovery can also make sense with smaller compressors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following points should be clarified:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Good to know<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Small investments can save even more energy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the “incentive effect”, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to respect the “incentive effect”, no binding commitment (signing a quotation; paying a deposit) may be made BEFORE having received the agreement in principle from the State or the electricity and natural gas supplier following an application for subsidy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n N.B. Government subsidies cannot be combined for the same project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers have been obliged to deliver energy savings to consumers as part of the obligation mechanism. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advisory services, as well as assistance programs for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures. N.B.: Subsidies from suppliers can be combined with state subsidies for the same project.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":651,"parent":0,"template":"","secteur":[74,76,77,132,69,62,72,71,73],"thematique":[78,99],"application":[101],"class_list":["post-1229","mesures","type-mesures","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","secteur-administration","secteur-agriculture-viticulture","secteur-aid-and-care-sector","secteur-carpentry","secteur-commerce-en","secteur-craft-industry","secteur-workshop","secteur-manufacturing","secteur-transport","thematique-energie-en","thematique-mobility-and-transportation","application-compressed-air"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mesures\/1229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mesures"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mesures"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mesures\/1229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":929192,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mesures\/1229\/revisions\/929192"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"secteur","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/secteur?post=1229"},{"taxonomy":"thematique","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thematique?post=1229"},{"taxonomy":"application","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.klimapaktfirbetriber.lu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/application?post=1229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
