Energy Efficiency in Pneumatic Production Systems: State of the Art and Future
Directions
Abstract
The energy efficiency of pneumatic and compressed air systems is an important element in the overall development of sustainable production. This paper
starts with a review of energy consumption in compressed air systems and approaches for assessing system efficiency. The state of art in pneumatic device
and compressed air system level energy optimisation research work is then assessed. A specific focus is placed on the consumer devices widely used in
production equipment including pneumatic drives, blowers and condition monitoring approaches for electro-pneumatic systems. Based on the review,
conclusions are drawn on future directions and opportunities for achieving a step change improvement in energy efficiency of pneumatic based production.
