Figuring out Air Compressor Efficiency

It can be complicated to determine the efficiency of an air compressor. However, at Quincy Compressor, we strive to make it easier. We offer a couple of valuable tools to help you determine your air compressor system’s efficiency.

To set a baseline of efficiency, we offer this efficiency quotient worksheet that’s broken down into multiple categories, each assessing a specific component of your compressor system. Once completed, you’ll be able to estimate how much you currently spend on your air system. From there, you’ll be well equipped to make decisions regarding cost savings.

We are also happy to send out a compressed air expert to conduct a preliminary walkthrough of your facility using the methodology outlined in the efficiency quotient worksheet. We invite you to take advantage of a professional’s opinion on how your compressor system is functioning and where you can increase efficiency.

After that, our representative can conduct a test using an EQ Analyzer to record how well your system is working. These results will be taken into consideration, and you will have access to a full report detailing specific ways in which you can save money with recommendations for creating a more efficient system.

Compressor Efficiency: Why Does It Matter?

To get to the bottom of how much your air compressor system is costing your organization, careful attention is needed to provide a thorough analysis. These details are often lost in the day to day array of operations occurring at your facility.

You may be surprised to learn how much you can save by making a few simple tweaks to your system. In addition, an air compressor system that uses energy efficiently can help preserve precious natural resources.
