Sample Plant

Verification

Test
  • At a meal break, with the presses stopped, watch the compressors for twenty minutes.
  • Count the minutes a compressor pumps air, which its panel shows as loaded.
  • No press uses air then, so all of that air is leaking.
  • Then write down the pressure on its panel and the highest pressure set at any press.
CostUnder $100: twenty minutes of one maintenance person's time. Nothing is bought.
DurationTwenty minutes, at a meal break
Confirmed if
  • A compressor pumps for more than about two of the twenty minutes, so leaks take over 10 percent of its air.
  • Or its pressure is well above the highest set at any press.
  • Either one confirms its part of the problem.
Ruled out ifEach compressor pumps for under about two of the twenty minutes, and its pressure is within a few psi of the highest set at any press. Then this problem is small here.
