Five ways to save compressed air Compressed Air Recovery Avoid energy losses through multiple use of compressed air! Compressed air recovery and pro-active energy management are our goal! Optimized application of energy is achieved through multiple use of the compressed air. Detecting energy consumption weaknesses early on helps you avoid losses right from the start. Recuperation of compressed air The compressed air in a filled cylinder chamber is usually expelled as exhaust air from the working lines during a return stroke. The valuable energy in the compressed air is then lost. In contrast, in our survey of energy-saving cylinders, this energy is stored and used again for the return stroke, resulting in significant energy savings for you.
