Optimization of a Compressed Air System
In the context of a compressed air audit, a customer of OPTENDA was looking for savings potentials in their energy consumption – which he found using the Energy Monitor software: The analysis of the electricity load profile showed a suspiciously high base load as well as high load peaks.
By means of the Energy Monitor, the responsible leakages were detected and fixed. Based on the information provided by the software, the load peaks were significantly reduced as well.
The improvement measures for were implemented quickly with little effort. However, they have a lasting effect, which can be easily tracked and monitored in the Energy Monitor.
