Air Compressor Pressure :
Keep your working pressure as low as possible
The working pressure of your system directly affects the power required to supply the compressed air. A higher working pressure means a higher power requirement and, as a result, higher energy costs and a larger carbon footprint.
On average, you need 8% more power for every 1 bar of higher pressure. In addition, a higher air pressure also strains pneumatic components, reduces their operating life and adds to your maintenance costs.
Tip: Before you increase your working pressure to compensate for a pressure drop, first find out what caused the drop and eliminate the source of the problem if possible.
