Compressed Air System Improvement Project Saves Foundry Energy and Increases Production

Compressed Air System Improvement Project Saves Foundry Energy and Increases Production

Research output: NREL › Brochure

Abstract

This case study highlights International Truck and Engine Corporation's optimization project on the compressed air system that serves its foundry, Indianapolis Casting Corporation. Due to the project's implementation, the system's efficiency was greatly improved, allowing the foundry to operate with less compressor capacity, which resulted in reduced energy consumption, significant maintenancesavings, and more reliable production.
