Managing Compressed Air Costs: A Comprehensive Guide for Manufacturers

When choosing an air compressor, many manufacturers fall into the trap of reviewing the upfront capital cost while neglecting total ownership expenses. In an era where energy consumption and maintenance expenditure can rapidly inflate overall costs, it’s imperative to grasp the factors contributing to these outlays within your manufacturing facility. As planning for 2024 will be starting shortly, let’s review what is included with compressed air expenses and potential avenues for driving cost efficiencies.

Using Integrated Compressor Control (ICC) to Operate a Multiple Compressor Installation

Integrated Compressor Control (ICC) is a feature that allows multiple compressors to maintain a constant system pressure that ensures maximum energy efficiency and minimal blow-off. Compressors are connected through an integrated Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network using the ICC feature. The P2P network, with the ICC sequencing software in each local control panel, allows users to select networked compressors as the master controller, thus creating redundancy and reducing cost by eliminating the need for a separate master controller.
