Avoid downtime: The significance of summer for your compressed air system

Heat, humidity and dust – a real endurance test for your compressed air treatment systems.
Discover the reasons behind the impending risk of failure and learn how to keep your compressed air system running efficiently throughout the warm season. Our whitepaper, “When it gets hot: How to protect your compressed air system from heat and humidity”, is a comprehensive guide to ensuring the operational safety and reliability of your compressed air supply.

 

Key takeaways from the whitepaper:

  • Identification of typical weak points in summer operation – including excess moisture, overheating, oil vapour and airborne particles
  • Understand the technical background: how do temperature and humidity affect condensation and system stability
  • A comparison of summer and winter operation will elucidate the necessity for seasonal adjustments to your system
  • Use the integrated self-test to assess your system's suitability for heat, humidity and full load conditions
  • Find out how you can reduce your operating costs and prevent unnecessary energy loss in summer by carrying out early maintenance and targeted optimisation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How will the whitepaper specifically benefit my day-to-day operations?
  • The whitepaper offers concise, technically robust insights into the operation of compressed air systems in summer.
  • It combines physical principles with practical applications, covering topics such as pressure dew point, condensate behaviour, filter load and energy efficiency.
  • Ideal for technical specialists who want to recognise risks at an early stage, avoid failures and reduce costs effectively.
What specifically happens to the quality of my compressed air in summer – and why is this so critical?
  • Rising ambient temperatures and humidity lead to an increased amount of water vapour in the intake air, resulting in an increased condensate load throughout the entire system.
  • In our whitepaper, we explain why compression exacerbates this problem and outline the physical relationships and technical consequences behind it (e.g. corrosion, blockages and quality risks).
How can I tell if my system is reaching its limits during summer operation?
  • The whitepaper contains a practical self-check comprising nine specific questions on topics such as dew point, dryer performance, steam traps, intake routing, differential pressure, oil vapour content and leaks.
  • This enables you to swiftly gain an overview or prepare for a specific technical inspection.
How do seemingly minor faults affect energy efficiency and operating costs?
  • A clogged pre-filter can increase energy consumption by up to 4% due to a pressure loss of 0.3 bar. For a 75 kW compressor, this equates to approximately €1,200 per year.
  • The whitepaper provides transparent examples of such calculations and offers guidance on how to systematically identify and eliminate these hidden losses.
     
What exactly does the BEKO TECHNOLOGIES summer check entail, and how can it support my maintenance strategy?
  • The summer check is a structured system check performed under full load conditions, focusing on components that are critical in summer.
  • This includes dew point behaviour, filter status, condensate management, oil vapour content and leakage analysis.
  • Our whitepaper provides a comprehensive overview of the contents, test points and benefits to aid your decision-making for maintenance planning.
