Thorite Energy Saving Guide
 Energy saving in compressed air systems. Compressed air is often wrongly assumed to be a cheap or even 'free' source of power. It is not.
A 1,000 cfm factory compressed air main installation will consume £40,000 of electricity in a year.
Typically companies waste 30% of the compressed air generated, equivalent to over £12,000 in this case!
The Thorite Guide to Energy Saving helps the end user minimise wastage by improving existing installed systems. It highlights key areas for savings and offers practical advice on an action plan.
Key areas addressed:
Leakage
Misuse
Over pressurisation
Pressure drop
Energy and safety
Generation
