1.3 THE SOLUTION Do a compressor station analysis complete with a new air flow meter and CAD drawing documenting your system. The benefits enjoyed are: (1) A current database is created relating to your compressed air station performance relative to a new unit. Figure "C", page 9-169, is a sample data sheet from a building with this advantage. (2) The flow meter provides a simple visual indicator of air leak problems in the system. Operators can identify when air leaks appear in a system immediately allowing correction before associated problems occur. Figure "B", page 9-165, is a document illustrating the assessment procedure determining if excessive compressor run time is the result of air leaks or compressor deterioration. (3) The flow meter provides critical information during the search for air leaks making the procedure logical and as efficient as possible. The procedure is explained on pages 9-166, 9-167 and 9-168. Compressor service data sheets, similar to the one on page 9-171, might be used establishing a documented history of the performance of your compressor station. 9-164
