In industry, compressed air systems are so widely used that they are often regarded as essential as electricity, however it can be more expensive. It has many uses, including air tools, refrigeration and sandblasting, making it an essential addition to any warehouse. So what do you do if you notice that your compressed air system is starting to cost more than before?
Well, this could be because the system you have has developed a leak. A single 3mm leak in your compressed air systems could be costing you up to £700 per year. These kind of leaks often go unnoticed until you receive your electricity bill, as they cannot be seen in the way a water leak can be.
One case study conducted by Telford Compressed Air Services (TCAS) unearthed some scary truths when it came to a local packaging company’s compressed air systems. TCAS found 86 significant leaks in their systems, which once calculated came to show that they were paying out nearly £25,000 in annual electricity costs. To repair these leaks was a fraction of the annual electricity bill, coming to just £4,500, meaning they saw a return on the repair within a matter of weeks.
TCAS are a company based in Telford that specialise in compressed air systems, making them the first point of contact when you need any advice or repairs.
