Open questions

Compressor load with presses off
  • How many of twenty minutes a compressor pumps air while the presses are stopped.
  • No press draws air then, so those minutes are the leaks.
  • They decide whether a leak walk is worth its cost.
  • Who can answer: Maintenance lead.
Pressure set and pressure needed
  • The pressure on the compressors' panels, and the highest pressure set at any press.
  • The difference is the pressure that can come off.
  • Each two psi of it is worth about $720 per year.
  • Who can answer: Maintenance lead.
Compressor running hours
  • The running hours and the loaded hours on each compressor's panel.
  • They replace our estimate that 12 percent of the electricity bill goes to the compressors.
  • Who can answer: Maintenance lead.
Compressors on over the weekend
  • Whether the compressors stay on while the plant is closed.
  • If they do, every leak is fed through the weekend, which this figure does not count.
  • Who can answer: Maintenance lead.
