Maximizing Efficiency: Air Compressor Tips for Hot Weather

If you manage a compressed air system, you know summer can wreak havoc on its performance. As temperatures and humidity rise, air compressors have to work harder to generate the same output–which can lead to breakdowns and reduced performance.?

Here are a few ways to beat the heat:?

• Cool intake air requires less energy to compress. To reduce incoming air temperature, position intakes in shaded or cooler areas.??
• Ensure your compressor room is ventilated with fans or ductwork to exhaust hot air.
• Reduce your overall energy use with heat recovery systems, which capture excess heat from your compressor.
• Insulate exposed pipes to prevent external heat absorption and keep pipes cool.?
• Identify and fix air leaks, which can greatly waste your system’s energy.?
• Perform frequent preventative maintenance to prevent your system from working harder than it needs to–regularly check filters, fluid levels, drains, and cooling mechanisms.?

Implementing these simple measures can ensure optimal performance all year long. Ready to beat summer breakdowns once and for all? Contact our team today–we’ll help identify where your system could be running more efficiently. https://mi-air.com/contact/
