Compressed Air Best Practices-August 2008

Focus Industry COMPRESSED AIR AUDITS | 08/08 | Blower Systems standard enclosures, which provide sound attenuation levels from 75–85 dba. The market has changed and is looking for quieter machines, which can improve the work environment and be less disruptive in outdoor installations near residential areas. What energy-saving tools can Tuthill provide customers? Many customers want to get involved with sizing blowers. They want to know what their energy costs will be under different working scenarios with different machines. We have recently upgraded our sizing tool called BlowerXpert which makes this possible. BlowerXpert can be downloaded by customers. A user can look at a performance curve to find the optimal blower for his application. An end user might determine that he needs 300 cfm at 12 psi pressure. He would look at a performance curve and select to go at 3,000 rpm — requiring a 32 hp motor. The sizing tool can refine that selection. With that same application, the customer might determine that he can run at 2,800 rpm, which consumes less horsepower and would require a smaller motor size. Sound Attenuating Enclosures on the new Qube Series Thank you for your insights.

Intention: Employees are asked to take a deep look at what they want personally and to speak up about it so that an overlap between their wants and the company wants can be identified. Once this occurs, employees become both more motivated to come to work everyday and more effective at what they're working on. Choice: Understand what options are available to you. Sometimes you need to think outside of the box and sometimes you will need help. Remember to ask for it if you need it, then pick. If your choice doesn't have the impact you desire just pick another option and try again. Impact: Watch what you've created unfold right before your very eyes. If it's not what you intended, take a closer look at the options you've exposed and the choices you've made. The possibilities are without bounds! Responsibility: With awareness comes a whole world of choice and possibility that can lead one down a path of creating exactly what he or she wants. Being responsible is a very powerful option should you choose to exercise it. Don't walk through life as a victim with your head hanging low, instead pick up your head and make a choice that will lead you down a better road. Don't belittle people around you, instead call them forth to be great and see what can be accomplished then. Don't steal credit from people or do things in their place because your way is better, instead honor their achievements and learn from how they did it. www.airbestpractices.com 51 http://www.tuthill.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
