As an essential piece of equipment for a wide variety of industries, air compressors play a major role in manufacturing and industrial businesses all over the country.

However, the thermal energy produced by the air compressors is an invaluable source of energy – energy that often quite literally goes up in smoke.

Enter leading industrial equipment giant Atlas Copco New Zealand, with an innovative solution to energy-inefficiency: Compressor Energy Recovery systems.

These solutions allow the top-of-the-line air compressor equipment designed, manufactured and supplied by Atlas Copco New Zealand to re-use the thermal energy from this equipment, saving money and energy while also benefitting the environment through emission reduction, bringing businesses one step closer to total energy-efficiency.

Yuri Reijmer, Managing Director at Atlas Copco New Zealand, says that reducing the carbon footprint of a business is essential for businesses that wish to stay on the right side of eco-friendliness and sustainability standards.

“A staggering 94% of the energy an air compressor consumes is converted into heat. Without Energy Recovery, this costly thermal energy vanishes into the atmosphere via the cooling system and radiation,” Yuri says.

“Energy Recovery can reclaim a large portion of that heat for reuse, resulting in significant savings. The actual savings depend on your compressor installation, air system and waste heat applications.”

The equipment in question includes the Energy Recovery Control Unit ER 90-900, for the water-cooled ZR oil-free compressor. It allows recovery of between 80-100% of heat energy from the compressor, and transfers it into heated water. An alternate version is also available for the oil-injected GA compressor.

This level of investment in energy efficiency allows its users to spend less, or even nothing at all, on other heat or steam-based equipment, allowing businesses to scale down on equipment installation and use as well as energy consumption and costs.

“Based on your compressor set-ups, Atlas Copco can determine your possible savings with the Energy Saving Potential Calculator. It shows you how much waste heat you can recover, and how much you can save on your total energy bill,” Yuri says.
