Pressure sensors for compressed air and gas

Pressure monitoring in compressed air and gas systems helps to significantly reduce energy consumption. Only a few types of machines actually require compressed air with more than 6 bar overpressure. A reduction in the nominal pressure reduces both the power consumption and the leakage losses and increases the service life of the compressor. Electricity savings in the range of 6 – 8% can be achieved by a reduction of the nominal pressure by only 1 bar.

The smaller the pressure drop across the filter, the less high the nominal pressure must be set. If the pressure drop across the filters is greater than 0.3 bar, the filters should be replaced. Our proven differential pressure sensors and pressure gauges are ideal to monitor those figures continuously.
