Energy Saving Solutions

Energy Audit
To make your compressed air installation more energy efficient we need to study how it is running. With the iiTrak energy audit equipment we monitor and record your compressors behaviour. Using the modern data card recording technology there are no limits for recording multiple machines in different areas of your premises. A full energy report is generated highlighting how much compressed air is being used and more importantly how much this compressed air is costing you. In receipt of the Energy Audit report we can simulate the best compressor(s) for your application, maximizing your potential savings.

Intelligent Technology Where It Matters

By using a Variable Speed compressor the user can: 

● Exactly match the flow of compressor to the precise compressed air requirement, instantly. 

● Avoiding the switching between load no-load cycles and the consequent costly no-load running periods. 

● Energy-saving start-up eliminating current spikes 

● Freely select the operating pressure between 5 - 13 bar in 0.1 bar increments constantly 

● The reducing working pressure immediately generates power savings 

The Variable Speed Range in the ABAC/ALUP range includes: 

● Genesis Variable Speed to 22 kW 
● Allegro Variable Speed to 260 kW
● Lento OIL FREE Variable Speed to 55 kW 
 

Multilogic Control Systems

By making use of Multilogic control management system a very efficient solution can be achieved. The Multilogic control system will start and stop compressors depending on demand, and create an efficient set-up. This together with the use of variable speed compressors, means producing the exact amount of air for the requirements needed.
The Multilogic box uses a single point pressure measurement to reduce the pressure band significantly and creates a stable system pressure, all contributing to energy saving. 

MultiLogic Multi Compressor Control (MCC)

● Up to 4 compressors can be managed by the Air Control 4 
● Dual pressure band – timer controlled 
● Equalization of running hours across selected machines
● Automatic restart after power failure 

The Multilogic Box

● Up to 6 compressors can be managed together 
● Single point pressure measurement 
● Any make of compressor (with suitable hardware) 
● Dual pressure band – timer controlled 
● Timer based system shutdown and restart 
● Standby machine activation for temporary period 
● Equalization of running hours across selected machines 
● Simple sequence and priority selection – timer controlled
● Automatic restart after power failure
