Energy efficient control for compressed air with step modulation technique

The compressed air system is not only an energy intensive utility but also one of the least energy efficient. Over a period of time, both performance of compressors and compressed air system reduces drastically. The causes are many such as poor maintenance, wear and tear of equipment. The thesis pre...
