10 Ways to Increase Efficiency and Minimize Costs

10 WAYS TO SAVE

New Centrifugal Compressors
Turbo-Air and MSG Compressors are the most efficient oil-free compressors at full load, part load, and no load. Compared to other machines of similar capacity, the Turbo-Air and MSG Compressors have the best KW-to-flow ratio for ultimate power savings.

Air Audits
The experts at Cameron conduct a comprehensive audit of your compressed air system to identify potential problems and help you optimize overall performance. Our customers have recognized energy savings over 30%!

Maintenance Services
Maintaining a healthy air end by performing regular maintenance keeps your compressor operating at peak performance and leads directly to energy savings. Services offered include:

• Contract Maintenance: Custom-tailored agreements that can range from basic maintenance to risk-assumptive total maintenance and facility operation.
• ConciergeTM Services: Cameron provides all routine maintenance and check ups.

Aerodynamic Modifications

As plant processes change, so do compressed air requirements. Cameron offers a variety of aerodynamic modifications that will adjust your existing compressor's performance to meet current compressed air demand requirements, resulting in maximum operating efficiency.

• Re-Aero: Compressors can be re-rated to meet higher or lower pressure and flow.
• TA 38/48 Enhancement: We can replace a TA 38/48 air-end with a new TA-6000 air-end which will provide greater range in flow and rise to surge.
• 5-Axis Milled Impellers: Can provide 2 - 5% gain in efficiency.

Inlet Guide Vanes
Our innovative inlet guide vanes replace conventional inlet butterfly valves for substantial energy savings. IGV's impart a whirling motion to inlet air flow int he same rotational direction as the first stage impeller. As a result, less horsepower is required to deliver rated air flow and pressure. Payback on the purchase of an IGV can occur in as little as six months.

MAESTRO Controls
Maestro panels are state-of-the-art control systems designed to operate your compressors at peak performance with minimum energy consumption. Control systems are offered in both PLC and Microprocessor based packages...the choice is yours. MaestroTM panels are standard on all Cameron plant-air compressors and are available as an aftermarket upgrade on all brands of centrifugal compressor products.

ReliaDrain Condensate Drains
The ideal solution for draining condensate from your compressed air system with zero air loss.

Why Zero air loss is important. A typical TA2000 compressor with a third stage 1/2-inch timer-operated drain valve, operating at 125 psig opening every eight minutes for twenty two seconds, will vent over 3.9 million cubic feet of compressed air per year after draining condensate. At $0.05/kWh, that is nearly $1,440 wasted annually from one single drain valve.

Turbo-Dri Compressed Air Dryers
The most energy efficient dryers regardless of demand conditions in the industry, the Turbo-Dri series will provide you with lower operating costs and higher reliability. Turbo-Dri air dryers feature premium air quality, durability, serviceability and a simplistic design all in one package.

TurboBlend Lubricants
Oil contaminants, even if microscopic, act as sandpaper on your gearing and bearings. Lubrication oil plays a critical role in compressor performance and longevity of parts. Comeron offers two of the best compressors lubricants in the market.

Premium Inlet Air Filters
Inlet air filters are very important and often overlooked components on air compressors. Poor quality filters create substantial pressure drop, which causes the compressor to work harder than necessary. In fact, every 2 PSI in pressure drop equals 1% of energy. Cameron supplied filters offer the lowest pressure drop in the industry.
