Energy saving methods for screw air compressors
Realizing energy conservation and emission reduction is not only a national policy in China, but also the responsibility of every enterprise. Air compressors are applied in various industries and are the basic universal equipment for industrial modernization. They are also high power consuming equipment. According to statistics, the power consumption of air compressors accounts for about 50% of the electricity consumption per unit of use. How to save electricity and energy is a topic that most air compressor users cannot avoid. In response to this situation, this article mainly introduces several common energy-saving methods for screw air compressors:
Reduce pressure loss
The air circuit system consists of an air filter, intake valve, exhaust valve, cooler, etc., which can deliver compressed air to the gas consuming equipment;
To reduce pressure loss, the first step is to minimize the flow resistance and pressure loss of the gas pipeline system while meeting the process requirements, such as installing fewer valves and minimizing the length of gas pipelines. Secondly, it is necessary to use a large-diameter gas pipeline system and a low-speed air supply method;
Reduce internal and external leakage of equipment and reduce clearance volume;
Using high-quality pneumatic components, the intake and exhaust valves should have good sealing performance and low resistance.
Using variable frequency air compressors
With the development and widespread application of permanent magnet frequency conversion technology, it has replaced the original frequency converter technology and achieved significant energy-saving effects. The permanent magnet variable frequency air compressor saves more than 30% energy compared to ordinary (power frequency) air compressors, has a compact structure, low vibration, and low noise, truly achieving constant pressure gas supply. The frequency control range has been increased from 50% -100% to 25% -100%, and the frequency control range has been greatly improved. Improve work efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and create better economic benefits for the enterprise.
Correct pressure use
The commonly used pressures for screw air compressors are 0.7Mpa and 0.8Mpa, with low pressures below 0.4Mpa and high pressures above 10Mpa. Different industries have different requirements and pressures for the use of air compressors, and selection should be based on actual operating conditions. Every 0.1Mpa increase in pressure during use consumes approximately 7% more electrical energy.
Control pipeline leakage
By effectively addressing the issue of pipeline leakage, significant energy-saving benefits can be achieved. 10% of the electrical energy consumed by the air compressor is converted into compressed air, while 90% is converted into thermal energy, indicating that compressed air is 10 times more expensive than electricity. However, the user did not pay attention to this point and did not pay attention to the leakage on the pipeline. The first occurrence on the pipeline was hidden leakage, followed by visible leakage. A small hole in the gas pipeline, if left untreated, can result in significant losses.
Utilize waste heat
As we all know, air compressors are power consumers. During use, heat is inevitably generated. If these heat cannot be utilized, it will cause great waste of energy. Nowadays, more and more production enterprises are paying attention to this and installing waste heat recovery devices for air compressors. This energy can be used for heating, heating bathrooms, providing thermal energy for canteens, etc. This can effectively prevent energy waste and bring considerable benefits to enterprises and institutions.
