Compressed Air

These ready reckoner cards are provided to assist trained maintenance service providers to complete compressed air rating forms for their clients under the ‘Air Efficiency Rating Scheme' (AERS).

AERS is designed for use with businesses that have a single compressor (normally smaller than 75kW in capacity). It involves taking periodic snapshots of the efficiency of the compressed air system, assigning an efficiency rating to the system at each snapshot and highlighting where efficiency opportunities exist.

Compressed air is a vital utility for many companies. But many compressors in New Zealand businesses don't run efficiently, wasting energy and costing their owners money.

This fact sheet outlines EECA's Air Efficiency Rating Scheme (AERS) which helps smaller users ensure their compressors are as energy efficient as possible, to reduce costs and improve productivity.
