Does your compressor have VSD?
Variable speed drive (VSD) screw compressors save up to 35% in energy costs. By varying the speed of the drive motor, compressor output closely follows air consumption over a wide range without load/unload switching, even for irregular air demand. The low starting currents and total absence of peaks, combined with a high power factor, eliminate the risk of penalties from the utility company.
