UAP has been working closely with a leading blind manufacturer in Hyde, Cheshire to reduce the running costs associated with the compressed air equipment on site.
Recognised as a leading supplier of innovative and high-quality window blinds products.
The initial compressed air energy assessment highlighted the potential energy savings available with installing a 75kw, Kaeser CSDX140SFC SFC variable speed air compressor.
The site was running a 45kW BOGE SF60-3 and a 45kW CompAir L45SR variable speed air compressors together. Both the units were constantly ‘fighting’ against each other and the system pressure was very unstable.
Reducing Power
By installing a variable speed 75kW Kaeser air compressor, we were able to stabilise the pressure and reduce the total package power / specific power needed to generate the compressed air on site.
Kaeser screw compressors provide outstanding efficiency and reliability. Developed by Kaeser and continuously enhanced ever since the Kaeser SIGMA PROFILE achieves power savings of up to 15 percent compared with conventional screw airend rotor profiles. All Kaeser rotary screw airends feature this energy-saving rotor profile and are designed to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
