Energy Saving in Compressors

Course on compressor is about 1 hr duration and it talks about why energy consumption is too high in compressor and how to reduce it. Course also have basics like types, application and selection of compressor. Compressed air distribution and selection of compressor are subsequent topics and course ends with interesting methods of energy saving opportunities in compressor. This course is helpful to engineers, auditors and contractors to conserve energy in all types of compressors. There is a MEASURE software shown to evaluate different parameters like reduction in air quantity, air pressure, air leak survey, piping, velocity of air, receiver tank sizing, system capacity  and many more.
