We see reports from time to time about the devastating effects of climate change on the planet and one of the reasons is the increase of carbon in the atmosphere。There is a growing demand for government action, for which many countries have enacted laws New laws, such as stricter emission standards and carbon taxes。
At the same time, many countries are realizing that making production more energy efficient is not only good for the environment, but also good for businesses, which can promote their long-term interests。
For example, reducing the carbon footprint by improving the energy efficiency of compressed air systems has the following benefits for businesses:
Reduce production costs
Reduce the carbon tax
Enhancing the brand image helps attract customers, investors and talented people
Improve employee morale
Compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations
Despite the use of more renewable energy, CO2 levels are still increasing
As we all know, an increase in sustainable energy production will allow us to meet our environmental goals while meeting unmet demand。
But in practice this is not enough。We must control global energy demand in the face of a growing global population。
Today, more than 80 percent of our energy comes from fossil fuels。To meaningfully reduce our reliance on carbon-based energy, we must not only invest in renewable energy, but also reduce energy demand and use existing energy more efficiently。
Focusing solely on producing more green energy will only slow the increase of carbon in the atmosphere, not solve the problem。To effectively address climate change, we must pay equal attention to energy conservation。This is achieved in the near future An important way to a carbon neutral economy。
Compressed air is a very efficient and safe source of energy used in production equipment or production processes。However, the conventional production of compressed air requires a lot of energy。 But most manufacturers do not realize the amazing energy saving potential Force, can significantly reduce the carbon footprint。
In addition to recovering the waste heat generated in the process of air compression, it can also greatly improve the production efficiency of compressed air。
In fact, due to the improper use of compressed air or inefficient system design, many manufacturers waste up to 50% or more of the energy in the production and use of compressed air。
Tip: A 500 kW compressor unit running 8,000 hours per year produces 4 million KWH per year, equivalent to 2,828 metric tons of CO2 。Through hot air It is possible to recover large amounts of waste heat with gas or hot water。The recovery rate of energy supplied to the compressor is up to 94%。
