Integrated Compressor Automation Energy Savings System

This technical report describes the iZ automation system designed for monitoring and controlling compressed air systems. The system utilizes variable speed drives (VSD) and variable displacement compressors to optimize energy efficiency by balancing system pressure and reducing energy consumption. It outlines how the automation system can save up to 35% in energy usage by quickly turning off compressors when air demand decreases. The report details the technology used, including rate of change technology and production process monitoring, which allows the system to anticipate changes in air demand. Additionally, it presents the benefits of remote monitoring and user-friendly interfaces that eliminate the need for custom programming. The document also includes a comprehensive analysis of cost savings associated with energy trends over a ten-year period, emphasizing that 75% of the total cost of a compressor is attributed to energy. Furthermore, it discusses the installation and technical support provided by iZ Systems to ensure optimal performance of the compressed air system.
