Four good reasons to avoid leakages
Why you should treat compressed air leaks like a dripping tap
How To Avoid Air Leaks Guide
Compressed air is expensive
Air is "free" but the production of compressed air is not. It requires expensive electrical energy. The production of 1 m3 of compressed air costs on average 1.5 to 3 cents (assuming electricity price: 0.10 €/kWh).
And there it goes…
Up to 30% of this expensively produced compressed air is lost due to leaks – always when the compressor is running!
Leakages Cost
Even leaks with a diameter of just 3 mm will cost around 2,800 € per year (8,000 operating hours, 6 bar, 0.10 €/kWh).
CO2 emissions
The energy-intensive generation of compressed air adversely affects the CO2 balance, even if the generated compressed air escapes unused.
Energy savings
On average, up to 30% of compressed air generated is lost through leakages.
