Abstract
As a key equipment in the production process, air compressor is responsible for the most power consumption among industrial equipments. In order to reduce energy consumption of air compressor, its operation condition should be monitored firstly. Although many air compressor monitoring systems can detect operation status, there are still many problems such as complicated installation, inaccurate data and neglected energy efficiency analysis. To this end, the system for air compressor based on wireless data transmission technology was developed, which can realize the function of real-time data display, energy efficiency analysis, historical data viewing and reports export, etc. In order to verify reliability of the system, a field test of oil injected screw air compressor (Atlas G15PA10FM) was carried out in Suzhou Institute of Metrology. The results showed that the detection data not only was accurate and reliable but also can reflect the running condition of air compressor in real time. Through the energy efficiency analysis, it was found that the operating efficiency of the air compressor was less than 20%. Moreover, specific power and electricity consumption per unit exceeds the standard. As a result, the energy waste is serious, which needs improvement for energy-saving. In conclusion, the developed system has a widely applied prospect in the field of air compressor detection.
