Compressed Air Audits in Cape Town & the Western Cape
Ensure your plant achieves true sea-level efficiency. We help Western Cape manufacturers identify costly leaks, manage cooling loop failures, and reduce energy consumption.
Are You Truly Achieving Sea-Level Efficiency?
Operating at sea level in the Western Cape means your compressors should be highly efficient—near ±6.3kW/m³/min. However, ageing equipment, undersized piping, and unnoticed air leaks can completely erase this geographical advantage.
Furthermore, many coastal plants struggle with water-cooled compressor issues. If your chilled water circuits cannot adequately remove the heat of compression, it leads to rapid oil degradation. When compressors are switched off, degraded oil can vanish internal components, preventing the units from restarting and causing massive downtime. We measure these thermal and efficiency metrics to safeguard your production.
Coastal Moisture and Flow Diagnostics
Cape Town's coastal climate means your system ingests significant moisture, placing a heavy load on fridge and desiccant dryers.- ISO 8573 Air Quality Testing: We measure exact Dew Point, oil vapour, and particulates to ensure your lines are free of microbial growth and rust.
- Internal Pipe Velocity (IPV): We identify undersized piping. If your 3" mains are experiencing velocities over 12m/s, it creates backpressure that forces fully loaded compressors to unload prematurely.
- Leak Detection Surveys: We tag and quantify leaks, turning wasted air into a controlled repair plan with calculated ROI.
