How Air Compressors Are Used in Snowmaking Operations
Snowmaking plays a critical role in modern ski resort operations. It allows facilities to extend the season, maintain consistent surface conditions, and reduce reliance on variability in natural snowfall.
At the center of this process is compressed air, specifically centrifugal compressors. It drives snow production and represents one of the highest operational costs for ski resorts. In many systems, compressed air accounts for up to 75% of total snowmaking energy consumption, making system efficiency a key factor in overall cost control.
Understanding Your Compressor Control System Technology
Compressor control technology has come a long way, from mechanical switches and relays to smart, touchscreen interfaces that integrate with plant-wide automation platforms. FS-Elliott’s history in this space mirrors that shift. As control needs became more complex, each generation of FS-Elliott’s systems brought new capabilities to help operators better manage performance, energy use, and maintenance.
Controlling a Multiple Compressor Installation Using Integrated Compressor Control
Integrated Compressor Control (ICC) is a coordinated sequencing feature that allows multiple compressors to maintain a constant system pressure while ensuring maximum energy efficiency and minimal blow-off.
When using the ICC feature, compressors are connected through an integrated Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network. The P2P network, coupled with the ICC sequencing software included in each of the local control panels, allows users to select any of the networked compressors as the master controller, thus creating redundancy and reducing cost by eliminating the need for a separate master controller.
