Abstract

This paper analyzes the current compressed air system at “Krušik” and highlights energy losses and improvement opportunities. Proposed solutions include centralizing the compressor station, optimizing the number of compressors, reconstructing pipelines, and utilizing waste heat. These measures aim to reduce costs and enhance efficiency significantly.
