Compressed air systems are commonly used in industrial plants to produce the compressed air required for the facility's daily operations. Since air compressors consume more electricity than any other type of facility equipment, an optimisation of the efficiency of compressed air system operation cycles is essential for energy savings. In this article the demand for compressed air in production plants with different operating characteristics is analysed. It is checked how the neural network identified for a given plant would work in the case of another plant with a different needs while predicting compressed air demand, which is understood as a prediction of compressor on/offs. The simulation results based on real data indicate possible decisions that improves system efficiency.
