A compressed air auditor was surprised to see an air compressor under test was consuming excess power when unloaded. A check of the sump pressure (Fig. 1) showed the sump was not blowing down during unload cycles. And the installed flow meter showed the compressor was producing a small amount of air, even in the unloaded condition.

During an audit, a compressed air professional noticed an interesting characteristic. While a 300-hp compressor was used to supply an average of 800 cfm during production activity, he noticed the compressed air flow to the plant fell to about 130 cfm during non-production times on weekends. He also noticed that the plant had a 75-hp compressor that was perfectly capable of supplying this flow but was rarely turned on.

Often during audits of compressed air system, we find that operating staff have no clue as to how their equipment works. This causes so much trouble regarding operation and maintenance. Many people who work with compressed air systems know how to turn the equipment on and off. But when it comes to really understanding how each part works — like the compressor, dryer, filters, and drains — not everyone takes the time to read the manuals. That can be a big mistake.

Rude, @United … I’ve been on so many last-flight-of-the-nights over the years that have been held for late connecting passengers. So do you hold for us tonight? No, you depart our connecting flight EIGHT MINUTES EARLY. I’ll feel so valued sleeping at the Super 8 tonight. 🤬🤬🤬
