Pressure Sensors for Compressed Air and Gas

Pressure monitoring in compressed air and gas systems is crucial for optimizing energy consumption. It has been observed that only a few types of machines actually require compressed air with over 6 bar of pressure. By reducing the nominal pressure, both power consumption and leakage losses can be minimized, while also extending the service life of the compressor.

Even a small reduction of 1 bar in the nominal pressure can lead to significant electricity savings in the range of 6-8%. This demonstrates the importance of monitoring and adjusting the pressure levels in compressed air systems.

To ensure efficient pressure management, it is essential to monitor the pressure drop across the filters. A smaller pressure drop indicates better filter performance, allowing for a lower nominal pressure setting. However, if the pressure drop across the filters exceeds 0.3 bar, it is recommended to replace the filters to maintain optimal system performance.

For continuous monitoring of pressure differentials and overall pressure levels, Schneider Electric offers reliable differential pressure sensors and pressure gauges. These devices provide accurate measurements, enabling proactive maintenance and ensuring that the compressed air system operates at its best efficiency.
