Applications of AirMaster+ in Real Industrial Facilities
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy has been
developing a suite of analytical tools to assess
various technologies present in industrial facilities of
which AIRMaster+ is a fairly recent addition.
AIRMaster+ is a Windows-based software tool used
to analyze industrial compressed air systems intended
to enable users to model existing compressed air
systems, evaluate system upgrades, and assess
savings. The software provides a systematic approach
to investigate inefficiencies in compressed air
systems. The software itself is well documented and
training programs are provided through the
Department of Energy's Compressed Air Challenge
Program.
This paper focuses on real world
experiences and the overall process of applying the
AIRMaster+ analytical tool to actual industrial
facilities and applications. We will outline the overall
approach to obtain the necessary field data required
as inputs to the software. This will include
discussions of the data collection methodologies
employed and the process of incorporating field data
into the software to generate the compressed air
assessments. This will include presentation of the
processes required to establish the supply and
demand side profiles and components of the systems,
and how to develop scenarios for energy efficiency
measures.
