宠物塑料容器的加拿大制造商Pet Power容器有计划在增加更多的吹塑设备方面进行扩展。然而，在扩展可能发生之前，公司需要评估其压缩空气系统。宠物电力位于安大略省Vaughan，提供了一种不同形状和大小的塑料瓶的令人眼花缭乱的阵列。他们的运营运行24/7，压缩空气在其主要制造应用中起着关键作用，包括宠物吹塑，宠物预成型和标签瓶。

After more than 25 years in the compressed air industry, it still amazes me that many plant personnel and even those who sell compressed air products for a living don’t fully understand the relationship between flow, or volume (cfm), and pressure (psig). Walk into many body shops or small manufacturing plants, and you will find the compressor operating at an elevated pressure to satisfy the “demand.” If a plant has low air pressure on the production floor, what is the first thing that the maintenance professional does? You guessed it: He or she “jacks” up the pressure on the compressor, not realizing that he or she made the problem worse.

更换空气压缩机，带更有效的模型的空气压缩机，干燥器和过滤器已保存电气成本，并在加拿大曼尼托巴省加拿大面包厂提高了压缩空气可靠性。除此之外，植物人员还通过减少空气泄漏并消除不恰当的用途，发现了一些额外的节省。因此，该工厂将其压缩空气成本降低了58％，并有资格获得效用动力。

The CertainTeed Gypsum Board plant located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has renewed their compressed air system and improved their air quality, as a result of information learned at Compressed Air Challenge’s Fundamentals of Compressed Air seminar, some wise choices for new equipment, and thorough investigation of their system. A close look at their distribution system uncovered some surprising results that, once changed, resulted in better system operation. The improvements saved significant operating costs and resulted in a financial incentive from their power utility.
