Air That Holds Up in the Heat
Glass plants run air for forming, cooling, and conveying at high temperature; ceramic kilns rely on it for combustion control and pneumatic transport. Both environments are hard on distribution components and on compressor capacity.
Operating conditions to assess
Derating done right
Elevated ambient temperatures derate compressor capacity in ways a nameplate ignores. I work from measured conditions, including a structured approach to altitude and temperature.
Fights the particulate
Particulate fouling air-cooled aftercoolers drags efficiency down. The survey finds it and the baseline prices it.
Thermal cycling and leaks
Thermal cycling cracks fittings and increases leak rates. A full ultrasonic survey tags the loss in CFM and dollars.
300 to 2,500 HP with high ambient-temperature exposure
- Elevated ambient temperatures derating compressor capacity
- Particulate contamination fouling air-cooled aftercoolers
- Thermal cycling cracking fittings and increasing leak rates
- No structured approach to derating calculations at altitude and temperature
How I find and fund the savings here.
What happens after you ask
You send a short request.
Your name, work email, company, and a few lines about the system and the problem. Nothing else is needed to start.
I reply directly.

We agree the scope in writing.
We go through your equipment, shifts, pressure needs and electricity bills. You receive a proposal that sets the measurement boundary, deliverables, fee, site access and schedule before any work begins.
I measure your system.
My loggers record power, pressure and flow across a representative operating cycle agreed in the scope.
You receive the findings and we review them together.
A prioritized action list with estimated savings, the assumptions behind every figure, and a proposed way to verify the results.
Before the first call
Have your site elevation and typical ambient operating temperature ready so we can work the capacity-derating calculation from measured conditions, not nameplate.
