Boge Compressors has published the revised 6th edition of its "Compressed air compendium" handbook.
Boge Compressors has just released the revised 6th edition of its "Compressed air compendium" handbook.
This 214 page guide covers the fundamentals of compressed air from its origins to its latest technologies as well as more specific topics such as: air treatment, size of installation, disposal of condensate and the control of compressors.
Geoff Taylor, Managing Director of Boge Compressors said: "Compressed air remains a key element of the manufacturing process, and end users need a certain level of knowledge to run their compressors efficiently".
"The guide allows users to determine their exact requirements when choosing a new machine and also advises on the most cost effective way to run existing installations".
The correct specification and configuration of compressed air systems has become a crucial concern for every factory manager operating a compressed air system since the Climate Change Levy (CCL) or "energy tax" came into force in April 2001.
As such, individual companies and organisations have faced higher compressed air related energy costs - most especially where misuse and wastage of compressed air is occurring.
A pertinent chapter that has been updated in the revised guide - "Costs of compressed air", highlights the real cost of energy to the overall price of running a compressor.
Calculations available in this chapter will allow a factory manager to assess the true cost of their compressed air system.
This is truly an essential handbook for anyone involved in specifying, maintaining or running compressed air equipment.
The handbook retails at GBP 24.99 plus VAT per copy.
