BP31 - Replace air compressor

Address: Trang Bang Town, Tay Ninh Province
Project Summary: A garment enterprise in Tay Ninh Province has replaced the old air compressors in LangHam 2 with high efficiency VSD ones.
Year of implementation: 2018

Status before implementation

Lang Ham 2 was operating 2 air compressors, of which 01 screw air compressor (37kW) was used to supply compressed air for building C and 01 piston compressor (7.5kW) was used to deliver compressed air to the cutting area of the building D.

Load graph of 37 kW screw air compressors

Before implementation, Lang Ham 1 was using 2 VSD screw compressors working alternately. Alternate operation was not such an important issue as VSD screw air compressors have longer lifespan and these compressors were operating only 1 shift a day then.

The factory could replace screw compressors in Langham 2 with VSD screw compressors moved from Langham 1 to improve the operational efficiency.

Result

The old screw compressors in Langham 2 has been replaced with VSD screw compressors moved from Langham 1.
