ATLAS COPCO - AIRchitect - Energy Audit System

This energy audit can be carried out visually or through the use of a data logger tool, ensuring minimal disturbance to your production processes. The visual audit aims to identify immediate opportunities for rectifying costly air leaks and improving inefficient operational practices. These practices may include running compressors continuously during low-demand periods such as evenings and weekends, resulting in significant power loss through idling and blow-off, despite the underutilisation of valuable assets. Alternatively, the data logger-based audit involves monitoring the real-time power consumption of air compressors based on specific assumptions and parameters. The findings from this evaluation provide insights into more efficient alternatives prior to any significant investments. Additionally, this audit contributes to achieving energy-saving objectives and decreasing carbon emissions, thus mitigating the environmental impact of your operations. Importantly, this power audit is seamlessly integrated into your facility's operations and does not disrupt them; it is conducted while the equipment is operational. Once set up, the data logger operates continuously for a week, following three main steps.

Step 1: Real-time current measurement (ii-Trak measurement)

To uncover potential cost reductions in your compressed air system, the initial stage involves conducting a data-logging procedure to measure current consumption in real-time. This process requires the installation of hardware, typically completed in under 30 minutes, and entails a measurement period lasting one week.

Step 2: Simulation and assessment

A sample size of 1 week provides a fair assessment of the air usage in the plant, which can then be extrapolated for the year to calculate potential savings. Based on the logged data and the sample, the simulation is done with the two assumptions: 

  • The sample is a fair depiction for a yearly consumption.
  • Power cost remains constant throughout the year.

The recorded data will then be thoroughly analysed, which gives a scientific recommendation on areas for improvement. And the best solutions are recommended by the team of air experts. Some of the recommended solutions are modifying the parameters of operations i.e. pressure settings or Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors.

Step 3: Report and recommendations

An exhaustive report will be generated containing analyses of current scenarios, along with conclusions and recommendations derived from the simulated data. These insights will assist you in making informed decisions and taking appropriate actions. Furthermore, the actions suggested by this study can facilitate participation in the Performance Assessment Tracking (PAT) scheme and ensure compliance with ISO 50001 standards.
