Jaguar has worked with CompAir to upgrade the compressed air networks at its West Midlands-based plants; using an ongoing programme of energy audits to reduce air power consumption by 26% per annum with a maximum two years’ payback at each site.
Air and gas compression is an essential service within power generation plants worldwide and operators place a premium on reliability as a compressor breakdown can have a significant impact on overall plant performance.
