Compressed Air Systems & Design
Independent guidance on designing, optimizing, and operating compressed air systems for better efficiency, reliability, and cost control.
Why Focus on Systems & Design?
Most compressed air costs come from how the system is designed and operated, not from the compressor purchase price. This section helps engineers, sales reps, and plant teams make better system-level decisions.
System-Level Savings
Discover where energy, pressure, and reliability are lost in the overall system — not just the compressor.
Independent & Brand-Neutral
Get guidance that isn't tied to selling equipment or a specific manufacturer's solution.
Better Decisions, Less Guesswork
Use clear frameworks, examples, and tools to evaluate design options and control strategies.
Built for Engineers & Technical Sales
Written for people who specify, sell, or support compressed air systems in industrial environments.
Key Topics
Deep-dive into the core areas of compressed air system design and optimization.
System Optimization & Energy Efficiency
Methods to reduce kWh per m³, improve part-load performance, and cut compressed air costs.
Air System Design Principles
Fundamentals of distribution, storage, pressure control, and redundancy for industrial plants.
Sizing & Piping
Guidance on pipe sizing, pressure drop, receiver sizing, and layout for new and existing systems.
Controls & Sequencing
Approaches to load/unload, VSD, and multi-compressor control to balance efficiency and reliability.
Case Studies & Examples
Real-world examples of system changes, energy savings, and project outcomes.
See It in a Simulator Instead of a Spreadsheet
The compressed air simulator (coming soon) lets you model real systems, compare design options, and see the impact on energy use and uptime — without being tied to a specific compressor brand.
