Improving Compressed Air System Performance

Improving Compressed Air System Performance

Improving Compressed Air System Performance: A Sourcebook for Industry is a cooperative effort of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Best Practices and the Compressed Air Challenge®. EERE originally undertook this project as part of a series of sourcebook publications on industrial systems. Other topics in this series include: pump systems; fan systems; motors; process heating; and steam systems. As work on the first edition progressed, the Compressed Air Challenge® was formed, bringing together the extraordinary combined talents of compressed air system auditors, trade associations, equipment manufacturers and distributors, utilities, and government agencies in a collaborative effort to improve the performance of industrial compressed air systems. The two programs joined forces in preparing this second edition. For more information about EERE and the Compressed Air Challenge®, see Section 3: Where to Find Help.
