Leaks are one of the most frequent and biggest causes of energy loss in compressed air systems. Without regular maintenance, they often go unnoticed and waste up to 50 percent of a system's energy. To avoid this, Boge integrates a leakage monitor into the control system of its compressors. The monitor records leaks during downtimes, enabling precise identification and rapid rectification of energy losses.
Reducing energy costs through heat recovery
Companies can also reduce their energy costs through heat recovery. Up to 94 percent of the energy used to generate compressed air can be used in the form of heat. Boge removes the waste heat from the compression process in a compressor-specific manner so that it can be used to heat rooms or generate hot water. Compressors from other manufacturers can also be retrofitted with this Boge recovery system.
Optimize compressor utilization through smart control
Compressed air management is made efficient by a higher-level control system such as the Boge airtelligence provis 3. The software integrates an unlimited number of components and determines the ideal compressor configuration for a specific operating time based on demand. This makes it possible to manage highly fluctuating compressed air requirements and mixed compressor systems in particular. In addition, airtelligence provis 3 optimizes energy consumption: a reduction of just 1 bar saves up to ten percent in energy costs. Last but not least, it also supports energy audits.
