Challenges
Kryptonite to Superman is like heat to your compressed air equipment – both can have detrimental effects. Summer humidity and excessive heat generated in the compressor rooms can become an enemy leading to equipment failure and unexpected shutdowns. This issue ultimately led to the shutdown of one of their production lines, resulting in lost revenue. In addition to heat, clogged filters can negatively affect the efficiency of a compressor causing them to work harder generating even more heat. It is extremely important to keep your system properly maintained or you run the risk of other equipment failures running off the same system such as dryers, coolers, filters and drains. Early detection can help ward off costly expenses before they become a much larger issue.
