Energy efficiency of screw compressors — how to save up to 30%?

Industrial equipment

An energy-efficient compressor contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals and can be taken into account when obtaining "green" loans and benefits.

Energy efficiency of screw compressors — how to save up to 30%?

Modern technologies in compressor technology allow enterprises to significantly reduce energy costs. An energy-efficient compressor can reduce electricity costs by up to 30%, making it an attractive investment for any production.

Energy saving technologies

A frequency—controlled compressor is a breakthrough in energy saving. The screw compressor automatically changes the rotation speed of the screws depending on the air consumption. When consumption is reduced, the compressor operates at a reduced speed, which significantly saves energy.

The direct-drive compressor eliminates energy losses for belt drive, which can reach 5-7%. The direct connection of the electric motor to the screw unit increases the overall efficiency of the installation and reduces operating costs.

The Kiev screw compressor with a heat recovery system allows the use of compression heat for indoor heating or technological needs. This provides additional energy savings of up to 15%.

Modern management systems

The industrial compressor is equipped with intelligent control systems that optimize real-time operation. The microprocessor controller analyzes the air consumption and automatically selects the most efficient operating mode.

The compressor for the workshop can operate in cascade mode, when several installations are switched on alternately depending on the load. This ensures maximum energy efficiency with variable air consumption.

The air compressor with the automatic stop function goes into standby mode when there is no consumption. This eliminates idle operation and saves electricity.

Energy efficient cooling

A dehumidifier compressor uses the heat of compression to preheat the air before drying. This reduces the dehumidifier's energy consumption by 20-25%. The Ukraine screw compressor is often equipped with energy-saving refrigerated dryers.

The variable fan speed air cooling system adapts to the ambient temperature. In winter, the fan runs at minimum RPM, which saves electricity.

Economic efficiency

Buying a screw compressor with energy—saving technologies is an investment with a quick payback. For large enterprises, savings can amount to hundreds of thousands of hryvnias per year. The payback period usually does not exceed 2-3 years.

A belt-driven compressor has a lower initial cost, but the operating costs are significantly higher. An energy efficient direct drive compressor pays off
