Optimisation system manages compressed
air
Airtelligence from Boge is a microprocessor-controlled multiple compressor energy optimisation system which can simultaneously control, manage and optimise up to 16 compressors.
Boge Compressors has released the Airtelligence energy optimisation system which represents the latest technological thinking in compressed air energy management Optimised operating costs, reduced maintenance costs and energy efficiency are realised through integrating the Airtelligence into a compressed air system with multiple compressors

The CD and CDF series from Boge provides a small, quiet and compact screw compressor solution ideally suited to the smaller industrial compressor user, such as garages and workshops.
Air compressors provide efficiency boost
On-going product development at Boge Compressors has led to significant improvements in the free air delivery of the 45 to 90kW oil free water-cooled SO - W series screw compressors.
Soaring energy costs continue to be a key concern for factory managers.
With that in mind, reducing and eradicating compressed air misuse and wastage remains a firm goal on the agenda.
Compressed air is actually one of the easiest technologies with which to turn around quick and significant energy related reductions.
Integrating an intelligent energy management system to control and monitor the compressed air system may be one method to achieve optimal compressed air related energy efficiency.
Airtelligence from Boge is a microprocessor-controlled multiple compressor energy optimisation system which can simultaneously control, manage and optimise up to 16 compressors.
By monitoring all of the compressors within a compressed air system, Airtelligence, systematically and predictively takes control of a system, minimising costly off load running whilst optimising pressure.
Airtelligence really comes into its own as the 'intelligent' controller by its ability to forecast additional or reduced demand.
Once detected, Airtelligence automatically switches the compressor choice to ensure system optimisation virtually eliminating load/no-load run cycles.
This optimises the energy use creating immediate savings in compressed air related energy costs.
Crucially, pressure can be controlled to within 0.1 bar - every 1 bar reduction in pressure nominally saves 10% in generation costs.
Continual management and monitoring is assured with the complimentary Airtelligence software that reports on flow volume and operating status of all compressors in the system to maintenance intervals, error alerts and most importantly energy consumption and costs for the entire system as well as for each individual compressor.
Ideal for optimising an existing compressed air system, Airtelligence, can be integrated into any multiple compressor installation, including any variety of compressor models and makes. Request a free brochure from Boge Compressors ...
