Introduction to Energy Saving on Compressed Air Systems

Methods and practices to reduce leaks and inappropriate use of compressed air are discussed, as well as the need to set and maintain optimum settings.

Correct sizing of components in relation to load, speed and pressure is covered with the use of Festo ProPneu software.

Target Group
