Controls and System Performance
Full-load operation is not possible for most air systems. The performance of a part-load is critical and it is mainly influenced by the type of compressor and the control strategy. The control specified for a given system is largely determined by the compressor being used and the facility’s demand profile. A simple compressor control system may be adequate if a system has a single compressor with a very steady demand. A more sophisticated strategy will be required for a complex system with multiple compressors, varying demands, and many types of end-users. Both compressor and system control selection should be given careful consideration because they can be the most important factors affecting system performance and efficiency.
