Energy and Cost Savings
Compressed air is one of the most costly forms of energy in industrial applications. Despite its operational importance, its creation involves significant conversion losses: up to 80 percent of the electrical energy used is converted into heat, while only a small portion is available as usable compressed air. This inefficiency often goes undetected for a long time in many companies.
Economically and technically optimized operation of compressed air systems starts with the consistent reduction of energy losses. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by adjusting the system pressure. Even a reduction of just one bar can lead to energy savings of up to seven percent—without compromising supply reliability.
To make compressed air use more efficient on-site, our expert Mandy Preuß has compiled a concise overview of efficiency measures in the checklist.
“Adjusting the network pressure system and heat recovery are the key factors in optimizing compressed air systems.”

This clear checklist helps energy managers take a structured approach and identify opportunities in the areas of energy consumption, creation, and distribution of energy sources, including:
The multi-year “Food Pinch” project was successfully completed. The further development of the classic pinch analysis for efficient system operation and optimal investment plans convinced the application companies.
Leading companies strategically benefit from their degree of energy efficiency maturity to reduce costs and identify inefficient energy flows. The energy efficiency score shows where your company stands—from beginner to leader.
The energy transition is fundamentally reshaping the entire energy supply. This directly impacts you as an industrial consumer: you can actively participate in the energy market and significantly reduce your own electricity costs.
