Did you miss our live Q&A?
Don’t worry, we recorded it for you!
Last week Daniel Murphy, Direct Air’s Sales Engineer, stepped in to answer your questions in our Live Q&A with Manufacture 2030. In our ‘Webinar series: Compressed air sustainability and optimization with Direct Air’ news, we shared the pre-recorded webinars that we had co-created with Manufacture 2030. The video’s discuss energy auditing through data logging, as well as leak detection, heat recovery and more. You can head to the news story linked above to watch the videos in full.
For those of you who were able to join live, thank you for engaging and asking your compressed air energy questions, we hope you enjoyed the Q&A and got some helpful answers.
If you didn’t get to watch the Q&A live, or just simply want to give it a rewatch, we’ve linked it below for you.

Data Logging
Compressor life cycle cost: 70% of total compressor lifecycle costs are related to energy. This is means that compressed air energy savings have significant impacts on overall business costs as well as the environment.
To begin your energy saving journey, you would need to start by carrying out an energy audit on your compressed air system – data logging is a great way to start this.
Start your energy reduction journey now!
Leak Detection
Using ultrasonic leak detectors to carry out surveys on your compressed air system is the best way to know if you have leaks, how many, and how much they’re costing you. At the end of the survey, a report is produced outlying the leaks and costs to repair with support offered from our technician.
Following on from the leak detection report, repairs and maintenance can be conducted on the compressed air system to resolve the leaks identified and improve the efficiency of your system.
Heat Recovery
Approximately 10% of all electricity used in industry is accounted for by compressed air systems. It’s a thermodynamic fact that around 94% of this energy gets converted to heat. That means up to 94% of the heat energy supplied to the compressor can be recovered. It can be used to generate hot water, heating systems and application processes in other areas of the installation. It’s time to take advantage of this converted heat energy and save thousands of pounds every year!
Flow Monitoring
Flow meters measure the production and consumption of compressed air and are used to establish baseline air flows and energy use. Direct Air offer compressed air flow meters to help identify potential savings, overloads and weak points in your system to improve its efficiency. By measuring the actual flow to the various production units, you are in a position to make decisions based on facts. Measure, monitor and manage your compressed air system to reduce your energy consumption.
