Compressed-Air System Assessment & Sizing

Scope and preparation

List each air user and distinguish continuous demand from short peaks. Record simultaneous use, working pressure, shift patterns and plans for future equipment.

What to consider

Review leaks, pressure drop, compressor loading and storage. Where a firm capacity or energy case is needed, agree measurement and logging rather than relying on motor power alone.

Planning the work

Compare suitable piston and screw options using delivered airflow at the required pressure. Variable-speed operation can be considered where demand varies, with suitability assessed against the actual duty profile.
