CENTRALIZED VS DECENTRALIZED COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Kaishan USA | April 17, 2020 | Uncategorized

A compressed air distribution system facilitates the delivery of air for a required application. Two types of systems are available to deliver the compressed air needs of a facility: a centralized air compressor system or a decentralized air compressor system. In choosing between these compressed air systems, there are several factors to consider. In the sections below, we take a look at each type of system and provide tips on how to choose the right one based on your requirements.

Centralized vs Decentralized Compressed Air Distribution Systems
Centralized Air Compressor Systems

The centralized air compressor system consists of a central compressed air system installation, wherein large air compressors and dryers located in one area provide compressed air for the entire facility. This type of air compressor system installation is facilitated through extensive pipe and ductwork, and distributes air to every department where it is needed.

Advantages of the centralized air compressor system include:

  • Lower Costs: In general, a centralized compressor system will require less equipment. Further, the installation of distribution piping costs less than installing smaller compressor units throughout the facility.
  • Easier Logistics: Only a single area needs to be addressed for issues such as noise reduction.
  • Easier Monitoring: Only one system needs to be monitored, rather than several smaller ones.
