The production of compressed air is one of the largest consumers of energy. Energy savings in compressors have a significant impact on the cost of the business, but also on the environment. Nearly 100% of the electrical energy used in compressor operation is converted into compression heat.
Utilising heat from compressors is one of the most efficient ways to reduce energy costs and increase overall energy efficiency. To make the most efficient use of waste heat in compressed air production, it is important to carry out an energy audit. This will determine exactly how much electricity is being used to produce compressed air. This will give you an accurate overview of the potential energy savings, which we can then use to optimise the compressed air savings in your plant in a systematic, sustainable way and in line with your requirements.
In general, compressors generate a significant amount of heat during operation. This "waste heat" can be recovered and used, for example, to heat domestic or process water. It can also be used for space heating, such as heating warehouses or production halls via air ducts, or to support other technological processes.

It can also be used for space heating, such as heating warehouses or production halls via air ducts, or to support other technological processes. In summer, heat recovery can cover all your hot water needs, and by removing the 'waste' heat from the building, you reduce the running costs of the air conditioning system. During a transitional period of the year, heat recovery from compressors can cover all your hot water and space heating requirements. In winter, it can support your existing heating system by up to 50-70%.
