June 17, 2017 Categories Other Tags Compressed air is viewed as a costly method for blow off and cooling applications and some look to electric motor driven blowers as a replacement. This is a reasonable with a focus for energy saving being a major factor. However, the cost of changing to a blower system is…
September 28, 2021 Categories Other Tags Is the supply chain broken? Today we see a lot of stories about the supply chain being broken. And there may even be a truth to that. But the issue is not new. In the last ten years, whenever a work slowdown occurs or a strike since inventories are…
January 14, 2019 Categories White Paper Tags Air Jets Air Knives Compressed air can be costly – so it is important to keep waste at a minimum while taking advantage of the benefits compressed air offers. A good practice is to measure and monitor your compressed air system, flow rates, operating air pressure and energy…
June 8, 2017 Categories Other Tags Both low pressure blowers and high pressure compressed air is used for blow-off and cooling applications. Much has been made of the higher energy cost in using compressed air over the last 15 to 20 years which all started when the cost of compressed air “leaks” came to light,…

The term air amplifier is normally applied to annular-shaped units (called Air Amplifiers or Air…
November 5, 2017 Categories Easy Engineering Tags When compressed air is produced, it is first stored and then utilized from storage as it is needed. This has implications for actual energy use and cost. Storage in a compressed air system allows users to supplement energy usage during high-demand periods, enhances air quality, and maintains system…
