How does the specific power of air compressor affect the energy consumption of equipment

Specific power is the core index to judge the energy consumption of air compressor. Its relationship with energy consumption is simply: under the premise of producing the same amount of compressed air, the smaller the specific power value, the less energy consumed by the air compressor and the lower the operating cost; in turn, the greater the specific power, the higher the energy consumption, and the greater the electricity cost for long-term use. The specific impact of

specific power on energy consumption

the selection stage to determine the basic energy consumption level
to compare the specific power of different models when purchasing air compressors, which equipment can be directly judged to be more energy-saving, and the model with lower specific power can be selected to continuously save energy costs from long-term operation. If you choose a model with higher specific power, no matter how you adjust it later, the basic energy consumption will be higher than that of a low specific power model. The daily operation of

can reflect the change state of energy consumption. When the
air compressor is used normally, the specific power will stabilize in a range. If the specific power rises suddenly, it often indicates that the equipment has problems such as blockage, wear and loose sealing, which will lead to less compressed air output, but the energy consumption is not reduced, which is equivalent to wasting electricity. At this time, timely maintenance is required to bring the energy consumption back to the normal level. When the operating parameters of the air compressor are adjusted
the overall energy consumption is optimized in the adjustment of the

system, the specific power will also change. Appropriate adjustment of the exhaust pressure can change the specific power. The higher the pressure setting, the higher the specific power will usually be, and the energy consumption will also increase. Therefore, adjusting the pressure to match the actual gas demand can reduce the specific power and reduce unnecessary waste of energy consumption. The energy consumption characteristics of

water-lubricated air compressor

water-lubricated air compressor does not need additional lubricating oil to participate in compression because water is used for lubrication, thus reducing the energy consumption loss caused by lubricating oil from the source. Under the premise of the same gas production, it is easier to achieve lower specific power and the overall energy saving potential is greater. In addition, it does not need frequent replacement of lubricating oil-related consumables and avoids the increase of specific power caused by blockage of consumables, it can maintain a stable low energy consumption state for a long time.
