Book Description
Compressed air is a versatile medium used in industry for performing a variety of tasks. It is, however, not cheap. By the time it arrives at its point of use, the energy consumption and costs of the system are already high. Therefore, it is worthwhile investigating ways of making compressed air systems more efficient. This brochure describes how a thorough investigation of a compressed air system can highlight many areas for saving energy. Improvements can be made by optimising the compressed air cycle itself and the compressed air usage, or by such obvious good housekeeping measures as plugging leaks.

Book Description
In 2000, Weyerhaeuser Company, a U.S. Department of Energy Allied Partner in the Industrial Technologies Program, increased the efficiency of the compressed air system at its sawmill facility in Coburg, Oregon. This improved the system's performance and will save about 1.3 million kWh annually. Total project costs were $55,000; because annual energy cost savings were also $55,000, the simplepayback period was only 1 year. Subsequent improvements at six other company plants and mills are yielding 6.8 million kWh in energy savings and reducing annual energy costs by $250,000.

Book Description
In 2003, Raytheon Company upgraded the efficiency of the compressed air system at its Integrated Air Defense Center in Andover, Massachusetts, to save energy and reduce costs. Worn compressors and dryers were replaced, a more sophisticated control strategy was installed, and an aggressive leak detection and repair effort was carried out. The total cost of these improvements was $342,000; however, National Grid, a utility service provider, contributed a $174,000 incentive payment. Total annual energy and maintenance cost savings are estimated at $141,500, and energy savings are nearly 1.6 million kWh. This case study was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program.
