Pressure of rising costs, high energy prices, and increasing awareness of climate changes have heavily influenced many businesses to optimise their energy usage.
SLS Bearings provides the Festo Energy Saving Services to compressed air users who are looking for a customised rage of services to identify and ultilise potential compress air savings in their machines in accordance to ISO guidelines.
This article will delve into the benefits of Festo Energy Saving Services and explain why choosing our services can be advantageous for your business.
In the Festo Energy Saving Services, we offer PreAudit, individual service modules and comprehensive Audit to help you identify energy saving solutions and utilise potential compressed air savings. Depending on your company's objectives, PreAudit may be selected for preliminary reports and quick checks of the individual service modules before our comprehensive Audit.
Using our PreAudit as a guide, we examine and document our findings based on areas analysed such as the compressed air generation and preparation, assess compressor utilisation, analyse compressed air quality and measure the pressure drop in the system. Furthermore, we also perform a quick check on a machine's leakage and pneumatic efficiency. Lastly, a detailed report based on the findings will be provided. The report contains useful information such as clear recommendations to eliminate weak points and optimise potential compressed air savings.
Purpose: To achieve an energy-efficient compressed air generation, a reliable and clear consumption profile is needed in line with the operating time. With that, compressor running times and sizing can be optimised.
Process: This service module involves the measuring of the compressed air flow, power consumption, pressure level, and bandwidth. Independent of the manufacturer, these measurements are carried out during operation. The power, compressed air requirements, and fluctuations in consumptions between base and peak load are documented over several days, which is then formatted into a detailed report. The report includes the energy consumptions and costs, reveals performance reserves and indicate your potential savings.
Purpose: The operating costs is directly affected by the quality of the compressed air. Water, oil, or particles in compressed air can cause unnecessary energy consumption and reduce the lifespan of pneumatic components. The impurities in the compressed air can affect the process reliability and in worst cases can even result in machine malfunctions. In contrast, a compressed air preparation system that is optimally sized can help with saving energy costs straight away.
Process: During our compressed air quality analysis, we examine the centralised and decentralised compressed air preparation, pressure level, measure the air temperature and residual oil content, and determine the pressure dew point. In the end, a finalised report containing clear recommendations on the optimisation strategies for compressed air quality will be provided.
Purpose: Regulating the distribution of compressed air in the system is often an underestimated cost factor with significant savings potential. Just by reducing the pressure by 1 bar, you can have savings of energy up to 8% for compressed air generation. To add on, a stable pressure level is needed for reliable processes.
Process: During this service, sensors equipped with data loggers record the pressure profile at several points within the compressed air system. In addition, we also determine the pressure band and identify pressure drops. Lastly, a collection of precise data and recommendations in relation to the pressure reduction options applicable to your system will be given to you.
Purpose: To assess the energy efficiency of machines and systems, determining the accurate air consumption per machine cycle is a crucial parameter. Assessing the energy efficiency of the machines and systems act as the basis for correct planning and sizing of the compressed air supply. Essentially, only the actual consumption measurements is able to accurately tell how much compressed air is consumed by the machines and its leakage rate.
Process: This service measures the compressed air consumption and its pressure level during operation and standstill, and also determine the average consumption and pressure level. Areas causing the inefficient use of compressed air will then be made known along with the opportunities for improvement.
Purpose: A compressed air system with leaks causes a lot of energy and money wastage and can harm the process' reliability. Thus, it is crucial to detect, document and eliminate leaks in compressed air systems to ensure system efficiency.
Process: From generation through to the pneumatic consumer, we expertly examine your entire compressed air system to detect leaks using high-sensitivity ultrasonic detectors. Leaks are then classified based on their size and cost. A detailed documentation containing the optimisation options and list of clear recommended repairs in order of urgency is provided based on our findings. At the end of the process, a report will be available to you via our online Festo Energy Saving Assessment Portal platform. The report contains other useful information such as a structured way of monitoring the elimination of leaks, CO2 emissions, and energy losses.
Process: During machine analysis, our experienced compressed air specialist will measure consumption, pressure and flow rate of the relevant pneumatic applications to determine efficiency of compressed air usage, and point out areas for improvement. Based on the findings, our experts define specific recommendations, estimate the costs, expected amortisation period, and savings of the possible measures. At the end of the process, a detailed report of the results and recommended solutions will be presented to you. Furthermore, any installation or modification of the developed solutions will be taken care by us upon request.
Purpose: Reduce your costs and enhance your process reliability through strategically designing your compressed air system for the future.
Expertise: With our industry know-how, our team works hard to offer quality holistic and individual services to meet your company's requirements.
Customisation and quality assurance: Following the guidelines of DIN EN ISO 11011, Festo Energy Saving Services is specifically tailored to your company needs with detailed reports, enabling you to identify and utilise potential compressed air savings in a sustainable, integrated and optimal way.
In conclusion, choosing SLS's Festo Energy Saving Services can help reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, save costs, and increase productivity at the same time.
