Thorite guide demonstrates energy savings

Product Details Supplier Info More products

Thorite has teamed up with Norgren to produce a free guide to energy saving.

The guide demonstrates how to cut waste and increase compressed-air-usage efficiency, with the resulting cash savings clearly laid out.

An energy and safety section also shows how components fitted for safety reasons, such as preset regulators and shut off valves, can also make important contributions to energy savings.

Many people in industry wrongly assume that compressed air is a cheap, or even free, source of power.

This is not the case, with numerous independent studies confirming that industry wastes around 30 per cent of the compressed air it generates.

In a typical 1,000cfm workshop installation this equates to GBP12,000 a year.

Compressed-air wastage results from leakage, misuse, over pressurisation, pressure drop, inefficient generation, lack of maintenance and poor installation engineering.

The solutions to each problem are explained in the guide, with the expense of carrying out remedial work shown and the savings highlighted.

The guide is available from any of Thorite’s nine regional sales and service centres in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East, or can be ordered from the company website.
