What is an Air Audit?

An analysis of your compressed air operation to determine how well your compressed air system is meeting your actual production needs.

What are the Benefits?

• Review of your entire air compressed system
• Decrease your system operating costs
• Discovering the source of the problem rather than alleviating the symptoms
• Improving air quality
• Identifying opportunities for improvements

  verifying retrofit results and performance contracting
• Enhance productivity by reducing scheduled downtime.

Levels of Assessment:

Walk-Through Evaluation
(1/2-2 Days)
Using the SystemWizard system analysis software we can quickly evaluate the cost and efficiency of a compressed air system, compare multiple compressor alternatives and calculate investment paybacks on energy saved.  This is an ideal tool for a system walk-through assessment as defined by the Compressed Air Challenge/DOE.

System Assessment
(2-5 Days)
Our SysteMate hardware and software provide you with a real-time assessment of your company’s compressed air usage thru limited data logging. SysteMate takes power and pressure readings as inputs then calculates the true flow output, automatically generating a report which graphs system parameters, including air flow.  All of this is done without any production interruptions.   This assessment is typically confined to data gathering in the compressor room.

System Audit
(3-10 Days)
Our LogAir Auditing System combines the first data logging system specifically designed to meet the comprehensive requirements of today’s compressed air system.  We personally train the auditors so they can provide the ultimate in compressed air system analysis and optimization.  This assessment typically addresses supply and demand data logging.  Our auditors work with you to understand your needs even going beyond the requirements defined by the Compressed Air Challenge and DOE.
