Did you know that...?

...90% of companies use compressed air

...on average, the energy cost makes up between 10% and 20% of industrial production costs

SMC research reveals that it is possible to save up to 40% of the energy used to generate compressed air

ENS-200 - Energy saving trainer.

ENS-200 integrates a series of applications (vacuum, actuators and blowing) aimed at understanding and implementing the methodology associated with energy saving in compressed air installations.
ENS-200 teaches you how to detect possible excessive consumption and suggest actions to prevent it.
Users will analyse different scenarios through a series of guided activities. Each experiment shows how much has been saved, both as a percentage and in the chosen currency. This equipment acts on the four fundamental pillars of energy saving in pneumatics: PRESSURE, SECTORISATION, MONITORING AND AIR QUALITY.

Energy saving in pneumatics

4 fundamental pillars

This equipment acts on the four fundamental pillars of energy saving in pneumatics:
PRESSURE

Pneumatic components must be set to just the right pressure. Avoid excessive pressure as consumption is proportional to work pressure.

SECTORISATION

To sectorise means to divide. It is possible to sectorise by differentiating between zones with different working pressure levels. It is also possible to sectorise by area, thereby minimising the impact of leaks when a zone is not active.

MONITORING

Monitoring means to measure. Measuring makes it possible to locate defects in the facility and assess what can be saved by correcting them. Measuring can be done constantly or occasionally. Monitoring also leads to prevention, i.e. knowing when a part of the facility is beginning to consume more energy due to leaks or other faults.

AIR QUALITY

A dirty filter generates a drop in pressure. If this filter is not replaced, the pressure must be raised to continue meeting system requirements. This poor practice has a negative impact on consumption which leads to more compressed air generation.

ENS-200 - Working scenarios

This trainer teaches you to come up with and implement energy efficiency solutions in compressed air facilities.

PRESSURE

ENS-200 facilitates comparing the effect of adjusting the operating pressure to meet the facilities requirements using the following types of activities: - Comparing different types of vacuum ejectors. - Assessment of the impact of using excessively long pipes. - Analysis of the impact of using double pressures. - Adjustment of the network pressure to that required by each actuator. - Comparison of various types of blow guns. - Comparison of different various types of blow nozzle. - Comparison of alternative various types of actuators. - Analysis of the negative effects of excessive pressure on pneumatic facilities.

SECTORISATION

ENS-200 looks at the advantages of dividing the facility into different areas, thus favouring the implementation of the following activities: - Quantifying the advantages of positioning pressure controllers in each area. - Quantifying the effect of leaks on the consumption and sizing of the compressor.

MONITORING

Monitoring identifies potential savings and verifies their subsequent application. ENS-200 enables: - Checking whether a machine’s consumption falls within expected limits. - Detecting and locating leaks in a system by sequentially checking areas or actuators.

How to use it

ENS-200 includes an HMI (Human Machine Interface) with a built-in PLC, interactive menus guide the user through the different activities. The system sets up all of the parameters automatically for each exercise. The results from measuring consumption and the savings obtained are presented as a percentage and in monetary savings.

ENS-200 - Main areas

ENS-200 includes the most common consumption sources for an automated process.
We can distinguish the following elements in ENS-200: vacuum area, blowing area, actuator area, HMI (Human Machine Interface) with a built-in PLC, air treatment unit, labels for cables, electric connection terminals, anodised aluminium structure and documentation (user manual, practice manual, theoretical course on pneumatics and energy saving concepts and theoretical exercises based on a consumption calculation tool (included).

Vacuum area

ENS-200 includes venturi and multi-stage vacuum ejectors which can be used to check the impact of including high-performing elements in vacuum applications. (Area marked in yellow in the image below).

Blowing area

ENS-200 includes two blower guns, built differently with varying efficiency, plus interchangeable nozzles that can be used to obtain comparative efficiency results. (Area marked in orange in the image below).

Actuator area

It includes a standard cylinder and a high-performing cylinder, as well as valves and controllers which can simulate leaks or analyse the impact of an incorrectly dimensioned facility. Actions and strategies can, therefore, be devised from the results obtained. (Area marked in blue in the image below).

Optionals

ENS-200 has a series of optional extras.

Energy efficiency in pneumatics

Air is free, but compressing it is not. A very high percentage of companies use compressed air in their processes, but do they use it efficiently? ENS-200 helps you to identify and correct inefficiencies, ensuring that every drop of energy is used optimally.

Energy savings and competitiveness

The energy consumption of compressed air installations is key to preserving the environment and maintaining competitiveness in the market. ENS-200 considers savings in the three most common compressed air installations in industry: vacuum, blowing and actuators. Learn from industry case studies and industrial components.

Strategies based on four pillars

ENS-200 focuses on four fundamental pillars of energy efficiency: reducing pressure, sectoring, maintaining good air quality in the circuit and monitoring consumption.

Practical and measurable training

ENS-200 includes guided and interactive hands-on exercises through the HMI that allow students to see the effects of implementing improvement strategies and comparing savings in percentage and economic terms.

Sustainability

The energy consumption of compressed air installations is key to preserving the environment and maintaining competitiveness in the market. ENS-200 not only helps companies to be more efficient, but also contributes to the Global Sustainable Development Goals.
