Compressed Air Energy Audit
Company:
Abico Dairy Farm Co., Ltd.
FSE conducted a comprehensive performance assessment of a multistage turbo air compressor after identifying reduced airflow and elevated specific power consumption.
The project combined on-site measurements, impeller and air cooler cleaning, internal inspection, tip-clearance adjustment, and post-service engineering analysis.
Project Name
Energy Audit and Efficiency Restoration for Multistage Turbo Air Compressors
Category
Energy Audit
Type
Installation
Client
Multistage Turbo Air Compressor
Equipment
Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
Compressor Model
T2A-125-M
Discharge Pressure
0.7000 MPaG
Location
Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand
PROJECT OVERVIEW
THE PROJECT FOCUSED ON RECOVERING COMPRESSOR AIRFLOW, IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND REDUCING LONG-TERM OPERATING COSTS.
Before the service, the compressor continued to maintain the required discharge pressure but delivered only 711.20 m³/h of airflow at a specific power consumption of 0.1540 kW/(m³/h).
The measured data indicated reduced aerodynamic performance and showed that the system required more energy to produce each unit of compressed air.
PROJECT PROCESS
FSE MEASURED THE EXISTING PERFORMANCE, CLEANED AND INSPECTED THE SYSTEM, THEN VERIFIED THE IMPROVEMENT THROUGH POST-SERVICE TESTING.
Baseline operating data was collected before service, including airflow, pressure, electrical current, voltage, shaft power, temperature, and specific power consumption.
The impeller and air cooler were cleaned, while internal conditions and tip clearance were inspected and adjusted. A second performance test was then conducted to measure the recovered compressor performance.
KEY RESULTS
FINAL RESULTS
THE COMPLETED SERVICE RECOVERED COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERED MEASURABLE OPERATIONAL, FINANCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS.
After cleaning and inspection, airflow capacity increased from 711.20 m³/h to 1,032.84 m³/h while the discharge pressure remained stable at 0.7000 MPaG. Specific power consumption decreased from 0.1540 to 0.1209 kW/(m³/h), demonstrating that the compressor could deliver significantly more compressed air with improved energy efficiency.
