Anyone given the task to plan and build a compressed air installation on a “greenfield site” has an easy and difficult job at the same time. Difficult, because there is no historical data available on which to base the planning of your installation. Easy, because a sustainable and very efficient system can be established using state-of-the-art compressors, compressed air dryers and higher-level control systems. In this article you will learn the most important factors to consider when planning a compressed air supply system for industrial users – covering compressors, air dryers, filters and compressed air pipework. If you take all of these into account, you can easily achieve efficiency, cost control, environmental friendliness, sustainability and future-proofing. To plan and design a compressed air installation for a new industrial production site efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably, you should start by gathering information on the general site conditions. Which conditions and what you need to know about them is explained in this and related articles.
