Cost Savings of 42% from New Compressors Supplied and Installed by CPA

CPA were approached by client Mitsubishi who were looking for a cost saving solution within their manufacturing facility. We carried out a detailed audit to determine the current operational costs as well as the energy, electrical and air consumption of their current fixed speed compressors. From the data obtained we were able to predict cost savings of 27-29% by removing the existing compressed air system and replacing it with Gardner Denver variable speed compressors.

The actual savings made from these two variable speed compressors, supplied and installed by CPA, far exceeded the initial cost saving predictions - actual cost saving was 42%.

Our client went from running three compressors to running one compressor (running the two new compressors week about), providing energy savings and reduced servicing costs.

Additional benefits included reduced noise level meaning ear protection was no longer required and the newly installed ducting allowed the normally wasted exhaust heat to heat the plant.
