Abstract

The compressed air sector (CAS) is currently receiving great attention, being responsible for an electric energy consumption equal up to 10% world-wide overall industry electricity needs and, accounting for all the other fluid compressor uses, up to 20% overall electricity needs. Consequently, the saving potential in CAS, usually 30–35% overall consumption, can be compared with the one of other energy measures (e.g. efficiency in other sectors, renewable energy generation, etc…) and the great potential toward the 20-20-20 European target can be appreciated.
