Compressed air is a kind of energy that has been used throughout many works, say, to power a water well drilling rig, a source of energy for pneumatic drill, and it is about 90% of manufacturers installed a compressed air system in the workshop. Compressed air is an indispensable form of energy for many factories, it is the most often used of energy than the other equipment. In terms of the methods of compressing air, there are two types of air compressors that are very popular in the industries, one is screw air compressors, which some also call rotary air compressors, and the other is piston air compressors, also known as reciprocating air compressor. These two types of air compressors serve a different purposes.

What will influence the efficiency of an air compressor? Such factors will be, model, size, control mechanisms, usage, and maintenance schedule. The main cause of loss of air compression is the loss of working mechanisms for the increase of pressurized air. it’s very important to have the entire system checked regularly, not only the air compressor itself but pipelines, air storage tanks, air dryers, receivers, etc. Excellent maintenance of your compressed air system saves you a significant amount of energy and money.

The following factors at work will influence the performance of an air compressor.
Inferior quality air intake: If the incoming air contains impurities or has high humidity, the performance of an air compressor will be greatly reduced.
Inconsistent air pressure controls: The air compressor controls work improperly and deliver an inconsistent or sustained high pressure, this will reduce the performance of an air compressor.
Design system flaws: An improperly sized distribution system, lack of recovery system and unnecessary bends in the pipes and unfixed leaks will cause an air compressor to become less efficient.
Choose the wrong air compressor: The air compressor is not producing enough compressed air for your devices and the performance is significantly reduced.
Drops of air pressure: Air pressure drops in your air compressor system can have a noticeable impact on your air compressor’s efficiency. An air pressure drop may occur from improperly sized pipes, too moisture, dirty filters, or long air travel distances.
Regular maintenance: Good consistent maintenance will improve the air compressor’s system durability and efficiency. Setting a regular maintenance schedule can make air compressors work efficiently.
