Did you know ...
... that compressed air generated from rotary screw compressors and proper clean air treatment is up to 10,000 times cleaner than the air we breathe?
... that air volume increases (expands) as temperature increases (e.g. a hot air balloon)? (Charles' Law)
... that at saturated conditions, for every 20°F decrease in air temperature, there is a 50% reduction in the water vapor content?
... that for every 20°F increase in compressor operating temperature above 180°F, the lubricant life is cut by 50%?
... that compressed air is the fourth utility in an industrial plant, after electricity, gas and water?
... that 94% of the heat generated by an air-cooled rotary compressor can be recovered to perform other work, such as heating the plant or heating water?
... that a $100/year leak in an air system cannot be felt or heard?
... a $400/year leak can be felt, but not heard?
... a $700/year leak can be both felt and heard?
