5.1 Compressed airnet overview
The initial view of airtelligence provis 3 is the compressed airnet overview. It
is designed to provide a quick overview of the status of all compressed airnets
that are registered by the control. Therefore, only values for control and mon-
itoring are displayed in the view, no settings can be made.
Fig. 5.1: Compressed airnet overview
In addition to the dynamic symbols for the basic operational ability of the com-
pressed airnet (see page 26), the following current values are displayed for
each network:
The description of the contents in the entire chapter 5 assumes that the
controller has already been completely configured. Compressed airnets
and their components have been established or are being registered.
Value
Unit
Meaning
Net pressure
bar, psi*
Current net pressure of the compressed airnet
Utilization
%
The current delivery capacity of running compressors de-
pending on the maximum possible total flow rate of the net.
Example: If with 3 compressors of the same size in the net
only one is running at full load, then the percentage value
would be approx. 33 %.
Efficiency
%
This values specifies the ratio of energy consumption for
load-runs compared to the overall energy consumption in
%. Example: At a value of 90 %, 90 % of the energy is used
for load runs and 10 % for idle runs of the compressors with-
in the net.
The higher the percentage value, the more efficiently the
compressed airnet works.
