From Guest Blogger Lizzie Weakly: How to Make Sure Your Commercial Pipe Work is Energy Efficient

Many industries have worries about the high costs of energy. The rise in energy prices is an issue of concern. Many energy experts predict that the increases may continue, so as an industry, you can introduce the following cost reduction energy plans in your piping system.

Energy-Efficient Compressed Air Piping

A well-planned compressed air piping system can immediately cut down the energy expenses to the tune of thousands of dollars per year. The compressed air piping minimizes losses in productivity and has other benefits too.

• The compressed air piping saves energy by identifying and preventing energy wastage.

• The piping can improve the equipment performance and productivity.

• The compressed air system has lower carbon emissions and reduces electricity consumption.

How the Compressed Air Pipe System saves Electricity

The compressed air pipe system takes the compacted air from the industrial compressor discharge equipment and delivers the air to the usage points while ensuring minimum leakage, higher air quality, and reduced pressure loss.

However, leaks and friction in the compressed air pipe network can lead to a lower pressure between the compressor and the production machines. Low pressure in your piping may arise because of poor pipe design and layout.

Optimizing your Piping Network

By turning the compressed system off during the evening and weekends, you can save the energy bills by 20%. Also, repair the leaks in the pipes as systems in usage for more than five years may have leakages of about 25%. Up to 80% of leakages do not produce any sound but will contribute to energy wastage. Energy experts, such as Degree C Pty Ltd, who are a fabrication team well versed in electrical services, air conditioning, and piping solutions, can help to detect the leaks and also clean the pipes for the system to have quality air.

It helps to hire professional who understands how to make piping energy efficient to inspect the drains. The expert can check the condensate drains that run on timers and make periodical adjustments to prevent air wastage. You can save energy further by having a review of your piping infrastructure. Sometimes, the increase of your piping from two three inches reduces pressure by 50% and enhances air distribution.

The change of filters regularly and having a means to recover heat that the compressed piping system generates for use in the offices, washrooms, warehouse, and loading dock can help to save energy and money.
