Good morning. How is business at Mattei Compressors? Good morning. This is a very exciting new chapter for Mattei. The Company has entered into the third phase of significant investments into Mattei. The first two phases of investments focused on optimizing Mattei rotary vane technology for enhanced energy efficiency and then taking them to market in Europe. This has been very successful. The objective of “Phase 3 Investments” is to bring these newly optimized rotary vane technologies to market in North America. On average, our new rotary vane designs are 10% more efficient than rotary screw air compressors. This performance exists across the board at all load profiles. Durability is also extremely high because these air compressors run at low speeds between 1,200–1,800 rpm. How energy efficient are the new rotary vane air compressors? Our research and development group in Italy is led by General Manager, Mr. Giulio Contaldi, the son of Mattei’s Founder. Mr. Contaldi’s team has focused on optimizing the energy efficiency of rotary vane air compressors and they developed several breakthroughs. The first approach was to find the optimal running speed (from an energy efficiency standpoint) for each product series. The solution was to design a unique air end and motor set for each air compressor model. In this way, each model provides maximum energy efficiency. In Mr. Contaldi’s words, “We are in a unique situation in which Mattei manufactures a full range of rotary vane air compressors. 34 4 www.airbestpractices.com http://www.airbestpractices.com Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008ContentsFrom the EditorUtility-Air NewsCompressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus ManufacturingClass Zero Air Measures Race Car PerformanceAudit Savings in Canada for Motor Coach IndustriesHeavy-Duty Air Compressors: Devair, Inc.Investing in Efficiency: Mattei CompressorsAluminum Pipe Systems: Prevost CorporationGrowth in Alberta: Northwest EquipmentVacuum Pump Inlet FiltrationReal World Best Practices: Applying Air Hose and Quick Disconnects for Optimum PerformanceResources for Energy Engineers: Training Calendars & Product PicksWall Street WatchAdvertiser IndexJob MarketCompressed Air Best Practices - October 2008Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - (Page Intro)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 (Page Cover1)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 (Page Cover2)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 (Page 3)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Contents (Page 4)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Contents (Page 5)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - From the Editor (Page 6)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Utility-Air News (Page 7)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Utility-Air News (Page 8)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Utility-Air News (Page 9)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 10)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 11)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 12)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 13)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 14)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 15)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 16)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 17)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 18)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Compressed Air Audit of the Month: Transit Bus Manufacturing (Page 19)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 20)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 21)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 22)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 23)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 24)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Class Zero Air Measures Race Car Performance (Page 25)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Audit Savings in Canada for Motor Coach Industries (Page 26)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Audit Savings in Canada for Motor Coach Industries (Page 27)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Audit Savings in Canada for Motor Coach Industries (Page 28)Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - Heavy-Duty Air Compressors: Devair, Inc.
