What is the motivation to measure your consumption / flow?

• Cost determination

• Identify consumption
peaks and optimize the
demand.

• Detect offset volume

flows during non-
production periods.

• Recommendation:
Measurement over one
week to illuminate all
phases of production at
the beginning.

Leak detection

• Find the smallest leaks at large

distances
• Photograph leaking parts
• Describe the leak and necessary
actions
• Creat a report via software

Quality Monitoring
Dew Point, Particles and Oil content
Dew Point / Quality monitoring

Monitoring of compressed air preparation

During compression, the concentration increases
proportionally with the overpressure in the
system

 What is the motivation to monitor your compressed air quality?
Different applications bring different reasons for a measurement!

• Damage to machines and equipment Particles Water vapour Oil

• A reduced life span of topped users ISO 8573-

1 <= 20.000 <= 400 <= 10 <= -70 °C 0,01

• Product quality 2 <= 400.000 <= 6.000 <= 100 <= -40 °C 0,1

• Unwanted discoloration 3 -- <= <= 1.000 <= -20 °C 1

6 -- -- -- <= +10 °C --

• Process reliability
• Some processes must reach a defined humidity level in compressed air, to be reliable and repeatable.
