Compressed Air Audits in Durban & KZN
Combat high humidity and flow inefficiencies. We provide data-driven compressed air assessments for industrial plants across KwaZulu-Natal.
Maximising Efficiency in Durban's Industrial Hubs
For manufacturing facilities in Durban, Pinetown, and the greater KZN region, being at sea level provides a natural compressor efficiency boost. However, Durban's intense humidity places a heavy thermal load on air dryers, and high ambient temperatures strain compressor cooling circuits.
If chilled water loops fail to remove the heat of compression, it accelerates oil degradation—leading to catastrophic restart failures and production downtime. Fisher Installations uses advanced instrumentation to conduct comprehensive audits, ensuring your cooling, drying, and generation systems are running at peak coastal performance.
Our KZN Diagnostic Services
- Ultrasonic Air Leak Detection: We find the leaks you can't hear. Repairing simple push-in pneumatic connectors and 1/2" ball valves can often save hundreds of thousands of Rands annually.
- Flow Demand & Pressure Profiling: We map your reticulation system to identify pressure drops and high Internal Pipe Velocities (IPV) that throttle your equipment and create backpressure.
- Power & Efficiency Testing: We log kW, kVA, and Power Factor to verify if your compressors are drawing too much power for the volume of air they produce, helping you decide if a rebuild or VSD upgrade is financially viable.
