Ambient conditions affect the efficiency and performance of your air compressor installation. They can influence its capacity, maximum working pressure, cooling requirements and power consumption:
- Polluted air brings particles and dust that contaminate the compressed air. In the long term, polluted ambient air can damage your compressor’s components and the piping system. After evaluating the ambient air, our experts will apply to the proper filtration system.
- Temperature impacts on the air compressor installation: each 10°C above normal decreases the air flow by 3%. On the other hand, the minimum expected temperature requires the building to be heated. Our experts will take the temperature into consideration to understand if you need ventilation or a heating system.
- Geographic location can impact your machine’s lifetime. Your air compressor supplier must consider it to avoid possible breakdowns and corrosion.
- The height above the sea level determines local pressure and temperature. It affects the size your compressed air installation, due to the intake pressure variation.
