Energy Saving Compressed Air Filters

Guaranteed energy savings when using our compressed air filters

Energy saving benefits of our filter elements

Compressed air filters protect your equipment from dust, dirt, oil and water. Dust wears down equipment and it can cause pneumatic control valves to get stuck. When dust combines with oil the problem becomes exasperated. In order to protect valves, motors and various other types of equipment it is essential to install compressed air filters. Compressed air is a vital part of the manufacturing process and it’s widely recognised as the forth utility alongside water, electricity and natural gas. Since it plays such a huge role in operating various types of equipment the air needs to be filtered to the highest standard ensuring its clean and dry. Hall Pyke are Irish suppliers of compressed air filters and multiple tools which you need in tandem. View our range below.

How did we get to this?

There is the basic rule that energy consumption of a compressor will increase/decrease by ca. 10% when the compressor needs to deliver 1 bar more/less pressure.

The pressure required at the point of use is given, e.g. 7 bar. On the way from the compressor outlet to the point of use there are filters, dryers, piping, etc, causing a differential pressure, e.g. altogether 1 bar. This means the compressor needs to deliver 8 bar to get the required 7 bar at the point of use.

If you now take a filter that creates 0.2 bar less pressure drop in the above example the compressor now only needs to deliver 7.8 bar instead of 8 bar in order to get the 7 bar at point of use.

When 1 bar less outlet pressure of the compressor means 10% less energy consumption 0.2 bar less outlet pressure results in 2% less energy.
