Eight Ways To Cut Energy Consumption

摘要

Some specific areas where plant engineering departments can contribute to reduced energy consumption, include: 1. Improving the efficiency of industrial boilers, chillers, heat exchangers, compressors and other plant process equipment 2. Reducing plant steam consumption 3. Reducing compressed air consumption and/or optimization of compressed air systems (according to one source, in the U.S. alone, compressed air for industrial purposes accounts for $1.5 billion in energy costs and 0.5% in emissions annually and optimization of compressed air systems can provide 20% to 50% improvement in energy efficiency).
