If every American home replaced just one incandescent bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL), we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, about $700 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to the emissions of about 800,000 cars. (Source: Energy Star) Over a ten-year period, electricity will represent 82% of a compressed air system's operating cost. The Sullair TS20 derives its energy savings from our proven two stage tandem air-end and spiral valve technology. At today's power cost of $.08/kWh, the TS20 compressor can save $14,373 per 1,000 cfm over a single-stage compressor operating for 8,000 hours at 100 psig. Per US DOE statistics, on average that is enough energy savings to pay for the power to light more than 7,000 typical residential CFL bulbs a year! Like the CFL, the Sullair TS20 is unparalleled for energy efficiency. At full load, the compressor saves up to 13% of electrical energy and often provides a two-year payback in savings when compared to single-stage compressors. With variable capacity control, featuring spiral valve technology, the TS20 can achieve further operating efficiencies of up to 30% during part load operation. Further part load and full load energy savings are achieved with optional Variable Speed Drive (VSD). This truly is the ultimate in energy saving compressors and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. |
Qualified Plant Engineering readers voted the TS20 a finalist in the Compressed Air category for the coveted Product of the Year award. We are honored.
