Energy saving Air Compressor

akkidmin — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 00:00:07 +0000

Energy saving Air Compressor

Globally, the air compressor market is quickly growing due to the versatility and cost-effectiveness of air compressor units. However, despite the wide adoption of air compressors, many businesses don’t prioritize air compressor maintenance, resulting in increased expenses due to costly repairs or replacements and the associated downtime. Air compressor maintenance offers you many benefits, such as time savings, safety enhancements, and reduced production costs due to less energy consumption.

Energy saving Tips:-

Loses, Fittings, & Waste: -

Regularly check your fittings, ensuring they create a tight seal. Loose fittings are a significant cause of leaks in air compressor units. If the fittings seem corroded or worn out, you should repair or replace them immediately. Consider inspecting hoses since they act as the system’s key connection points, and any damage to the hose could disrupt the entire system. Hoses usually get damaged during cold weather or bent, resulting in corrosion or cracks. Additionally, drain your unit’s receiver tank to avoid suboptimal operation due to a lack of storage capacity.

Apply proper controls to multiple compressor units: -

Proper controls maintain steady system pressure and ensure that only the required compressor units are brought online. This eliminates the inappropriate use of compressed air and ensures each unit is operating at peak efficiency. The controls are also helpful in turning off compressor units that are not needed or not being used.

Ensure piping & storage is properly sized: -

The problem with most systems is the lack of adequate storage and When sizing piping, it should optimize the transfer of compressed air at the desired flow and pressure to the point of use. Having wider piping from two to three inches can minimize the pressure to around 50%. On the other hand, reducing the distance traveled by air can lower pressure by about 30%-40%. Having the wrong storage size can result in issues with production or increased costs due to wasted energy.

Change your Air filters regularly: -

Air filters should be inspected monthly and replaced regularly. Drops in pressure as little as two psi can cost about 1% in compressor horsepower efficiency maintain air quality and reduce the chance of pressure dropping. There are several point-of-use and air-line filters in a typical system, which should also be maintained regularly.

Reduce the operating pressure to the lowest possible setting: -

common rule for most compressors indicates that every 2-psi reduction in system operating pressure can result in 1% in compressor energy-saving efficiency. Continuously adjust the pressure setting to reach the lowest possible setting without compromising performance. Additionally, centralized systems using multiple compressors can be set to run using a central controller. Turning down the pressure on your compressor even 10 PSIG is a 5% savings in electrical costs.

AdBlue® and what it is

akkidmin — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 00:00:08 +0000

What is AdBlue®

AdBlue is a colorless, slippery, non-flammable liquid consisting of 32.5% urea and 67.5% ionized water. AdBlue is not a toxic substance. It is used in SCR systems, which is an effective method to reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions. NOx is a toxic gas that adversely affects human health as a result of fuel combustion with air in vehicles. As the fuel continues to burn, AdBlue fluid is sprayed on the SCR catalyst. After spraying, it converts harmful NOx gas into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. Apart from the diesel fuel tank, AdBlue liquid is sprayed from the AdBlue liquid tank, SCR system deposit and starts the process of converting harmful gases to harmless gases. AdBlue liquid usage 2% to 6% of the fuel used is used. The use of AdBlue is one of the most efficient methods to keep the NOx level at a minimum. It plays an important role in the diesel vehicles of the future.

Whereis the Selective Catalytic Reduction System (SCR) where the use of AdBlue is the main factor and how does it work?

SCR is an exhaust emission system. In this system, it is an emission system that aims to minimize the emission of harmful gases from the exhaust with advanced engine ignition working together with a purification system. The main factor in the SCR system is the use of AdBlue. As we have mentioned before, AdBlue combines with the gas coming from the exhaust in the SCR catalyst, allowing it to transform into harmless gases. With SCR, it reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) excretion by 85% and the excretion of harmful particles in the exhaust of diesel engines by 40% at the same time

In SCR systems, apart from the fuel tank for AdBlue, there is also an AdBlue tank. The SCR system we mentioned is not used much except for diesel-powered vehicles such as trucks, trucks, and scoops. Especially in passenger cars, it is not preferred in diesel-powered vehicles due to the high cost of the SCR system and the large amount of space required for the AdBlue tank. In addition, since high engine power is not needed in passenger vehicles, they have low exhaust temperature and emit lower levels of NOx. The SCR system can be used as a part of the vehicle throughout the life of the vehicle. The AdBlue fluid used in the SCR system may cause deformation in the parts over time. Therefore, parts of the SCR system may require maintenance and repair over time. SCR system does not affect the oil change period of the vehicles.

Advantage of Adblue

The use of AdBlue contributes significantly to air pollution as it reduces gas emissions.

AdBlue fluid is not flammable.

It starts to freeze at -11 degrees. It can also be melted and reused after freezing.

Provides the reduction of the amount of solid waste in emissions

NOx gas in heavy and commercial vehicles reduces emissions and contributes to prevent respiratory diseases, albeit indirectly.

Disadvantage of Adblue

The AdBlue tank is separate from the fuel tank, so it takes up extra space.

Since it is an abrasive liquid, it causes corrosion in the system

If the tank is emptied, the SCR causes damage to the catalyst in the system.

Since it is corrosive, certain parts are needed for its use and storage.

It starts to freeze at -11 degrees, so it cannot be used in lower temperatures and your vehicle will not work.

Why is lube Important

akkidmin — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 00:00:08 +0000

Lube and what it is

Lubrication significantly reduces exposure to many causes of potentially costly equipment breakdowns and failures. Because properly lubricated equipment runs longer and more reliably, operations don’t need to be interrupted as frequently for maintenance and repairs. Lubrication equipment plays an important role in the normal operation of the industrial machinery and equipment.

Akkims India, prominent leader in lubrication pumps provides a complete range of performance proven Grease pumps. We provide World-class Industrial High Pressure Grease pumps with guaranteed performance & hassle free operation. These pumps automatically supply a small quantity of clean grease or oil to a lubrication point on a regular basis, thus improving bearing performance.

The right lubricant has to be supplied in the right quantity at the right time in the right quality to the right location. Particularly contamination during the transfer process, applying too much or too little lubricant and using the wrong lubricant for a lubrication point are common problems which can easily be prevented. These manual lubrication tools are specifically designed and selected to support these processes with a wide product portfolio for lubricant storage, handling, dosing, analyzing and applying lubricants.

Benefits of lube

Reduce the friction coefficient:

Join between the two opposite friction surface lubricants, anti-friction layer to form a film can reduce the coefficient of friction, to feed the friction resistance, and reduce power consumption. Liquid friction conditions, for example, the friction coefficient can be as low as 0.001 or even lower. The friction resistance is the main internal molecules of the liquid lubricating film between the sliding low shear resistance. Reduction in friction will also lead to lesser damages of equipment.

Lowering the temperature:

Lubricant to reduce friction coefficient to support the generation of friction heat. We know that the operation of the machinery to overcome the friction between the work done, all transformed into heat, part of the outward diffusion from the body, part of the continuous mechanical temperature. The concentration of circulating lubrication system using liquid lubricants can take away the heat generated by friction, a cooling quasi-but, the mechanical control operation in the temperature range required.

To prevent the corrosion protection of metal surfaces:

Mechanical surface will inevitably have to contact and the surrounding medium (such as air, moisture, water vapor, corrosive gases and liquids, etc.) so that the machinery of the metal surface rust and corrosion damage. Especially in high temperature metallurgical factory workshop and chemical corrosion and wear is even more serious.

Clean the flushing effect:

Wear particles generated by the friction pair in the exercise or the foreign media will accelerate the friction surface and wear. The fluidity of the liquid lubricant, the friction surface between the abrasive away, thereby reducing the abrasive wear, pressure on the circulatory system, the flushing effect is more significant. Process lubricants in the process of cold-rolled, hot-rolled, as well as cutting, grinding, drawing, in addition to cool the cooling effect, there is good flushing effect to prevent the surface to complement the solid impurities scratch, so that the finished products (steel The) surface has good quality and surface roughness. Suspension dispersant additives such as the lubricating oil used in internal combustion engine cylinder, so that the oil generated in the gel and coke from washing down the cylinder wall, and make it fragmented into small particles suspended in oil, along with the circulating oil filter to keep the oil clean, reducing the wear of the cylinder to extend drain intervals.

Sealing effect:

Steam engines, compressors, internal combustion engine cylinder and piston, lubricating oil not only lubricates the friction reducing effect, but also enhance the effect of sealing operation, leakage, improve the efficiency of the role.

Conclusion

Grease plays a special role in the formation of sealed to prevent moisture or other dust, impurities immersed in the friction pair. Such as the use of oil-immersed with grease packing, head of the pump shaft seal both good lubrication, but also to prevent leakage and dust impurities immersed in the pump body and play a good seal.
In addition, the lubricating oil is there to reduce vibration and noise performance.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
