OHM’s Laws for current
OHMS LAW FOR CURRENT In order to turn air into compressed air, you need power. This power comes in the form of electricity: Alternating Current or Direct Current. Below we give a short introduction to the laws of Ohm. These laws introduce resistance in the relationship between current and voltage. What is Ohm’s law for direct current? [...]
What is air pressure?
UNDERSTANDING PRESSURE AND FLOW When discussing compressed air systems, pressure and flow are integral parts of how a system will utilise the air. Let's dive into the difference between the two and the nature of the relationship between pressure and rate of flow within a compressed air system. What is pressure? Pressure is [...]
What Size Refrigerated Dryer Should I Buy?
Although it seems obvious, sizing a compressed air dryer is not as simple as merely matching the size of the air compressor. When you are based somewhere like Western Australia, you need to understand that we have a wide range of temperatures over the year so you need to ensure that your dryer can perform [...]
Maintaining Your Peace of Mind
Let’s face it. At some point, no matter how high quality the product is, equipment or machinery will break down. Breakdowns can have major impacts on the efficiency of your production which in a worst-case scenario, can cost your business thousands of dollars. While breakdowns are inevitable, regular and professional air compressor maintenance assures the [...]
Can Your Compressed Air Dryer Cope This Summer?
Overheated System = Production Down Time Like us, your compressed air system can sweat in the warmer months! Air Dryers can act as an air conditioner to your airline; eliminating condensation due to humidity, and therefore preventing damage to your expensive equipment. As the months get hotter some compressed air dryers don’t function as [...]
CASE STUDY 11 | Groundbreaking Mining Solutions
Groundbreaking Mining Solutions selected NPS to design, supply and install a compressed airline system for their new workshop in Forestdale, Western Australia.
10 Things to target during an air audit to ensure compressed energy savings
Compress Energy Costs through Air Audit With the rapidly escalating cost of electricity, there is an increasing focus within industry on the energy consumption of air compressor systems. As an un-maintained system can be wasting as much as 50% of a compressor’s output, it is important to ensure that your system is operating at its [...]
Compress Your Energy Costs through IVR Variable Speed Compressors
The simple economic model of matching supply with demand optimises productivity and helps control costs. This makes sense not only in the economic world, but also when considering how compressed air is produced and used in a manufacturing facility. Poorly designed and maintained systems waste energy Nessco Pressure Systems knows that compressed air is critical [...]
