West Midlands Compressors Ltd, based in Worcester, is offering Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce manufacturing members a complimentary compressed air data logging and energy assessment to help businesses better understand the efficiency of their compressed air systems.
Compressed air is often described as the “fourth utility” in manufacturing, yet many businesses are unaware that it can account for 10–15% of a factory’s total electricity consumption. In many cases, compressed air systems operate with hidden inefficiencies such as air leaks, excessive pressure settings or incorrectly sized compressors, all of which increase energy costs.
Using specialist data logging equipment, West Midlands Compressors can monitor a compressed air system over several days to measure real air demand and system performance. The collected data helps engineers identify inefficiencies, unnecessary energy consumption and opportunities for system optimisation.
The assessment includes installation of professional data logging equipment, monitoring compressed air demand patterns and providing a short report with practical recommendations to improve system efficiency and reliability.
Mikolaj Wrobel, Director of West Midlands Compressors Ltd, commented:
“Many compressed air systems are installed years ago and continue running without anyone having a clear understanding of how efficiently they operate. Data logging allows us to see the real demand profile and identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption while improving system reliability.”
In one recent project in Worcestershire, data logging helped identify that a compressed air system was significantly oversized for the actual air demand, allowing the manufacturer to implement a more efficient compressor solution and reduce energy consumption.
The assessment service is normally valued at over £1,000, but West Midlands Compressors Ltd is offering it free of charge to a limited number of Chamber manufacturing members.
