Free passages andsmooth surfaces ensure easy compressed-air transport. Cost breakdown of acompressed-air system working to full capacity (7.500 Bh/a).It is obvious that theenergy consumption has the greatest cost-saving potential. BEKOFLOW THIS IS THE EXPENSIVE REALITY In most conventional compressed-air facilities up to 40 % of the generated energy is lost again before it reaches the point of use. This has been confirmed by independent studies.*One of the main causes of this costly loss is pipesystems that have often simply “grown” over the years. • Built-in constrictions of the pipe cross-section • Leakages • Corrosion • Unsuitable fittings
Energy 83-86% Investment 10-13% Service 3.5-4% ® STOPS THE WASTAGE The pressure loss is reduced to a minimum, built-in constrictions of the pipe cross-section are eliminated, leakages are eliminated, and the compressed-air quality remains constant.
