Reduce the cost of air leaks in your compressed air system

Compressed Air Leak Audit and Detection Program

Stop wasting air and start lowering energy costs

Department of Energy energy costs pie chart

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates 25% of compressed air is lost to leaks - and it's higher in many plants. Kaeser's compressed air leak detection and repair program is a smart solution for facilities ready to stop wasting air and start lowering energy costs.

Fixing even a fraction of the leaks provides immediate payback. 

Additional benefits of leak reduction:

  • More stable system pressure and better functioning equipment
  • Less leakage means less compressor run time
  • Increased service life and decreased maintenance requirements
  • Additional capacity available for surges in production and growth
  • Lower carbon footprint
  • Increased profits

All plants have air leaks

soft drink bottlers leak chart

In this soft drink bottling pant, approximately half of the average consumption is lost to air leaks. With the local industrial electricity rate of $0.13 kW/h, this constant demand may cost as much as $34,000 per year in electricity.

The graph above is an actual flow study. Each trend line tracks a 24-hour period in a 10-day Air Demand Analysis. Leak costs were based on the local electric rate, 8760 annual operating hours, and compressor output of 4.5 cfm per hp and motor efficiency of 93%.
