Compressed air, the “fourth utility”, is a vital part of most industrial operations. Since compressed air powers so many machines and processes, any downtime due to equipment malfunction can be devastating to productivity, reputation, reliability, and the bottom line. While it is, of course, best to avoid downtime as much as possible, it is also a fact that downtime is inevitable. When it occurs, your instinct may be to repair the air compressor. In some cases, this is the right choice, but in others, replacement may be the most efficient, cost-effective option—especially when considering the lifecycle of the compressor.
