2-) Ask about system pressure, working principle, air leaks.
Preventing air leakage in the system creates an important opportunity for energy savings for the user and the consumer. Air leaks usually occur in safety valves, pipe and hose connections, shut-off valves, and pneumatic tools.

The following methods can be used to detect the leak;

Ultrasonic Detector: Collects and amplifies the sound of leaks and converts it into an audible sound.

Soap suds: Applied to joints and valves. This method is suitable for small leaks.

Perfume Use: A strong smelling perfume is placed in the air inlet of the compressor. A leak is detected because this smell will appear in the places where there is a leak.

Branch isolation: All branches should be examined. Air-consuming elements in the branch are closed. A pressure gauge is placed on the branch. Branch inlet from main distribution valve etc. leaves with If there is a drop in pressure, there is an air leak.

With all its products and accessories, Lupamat offers sustainable and user-friendly technologies in terms of energy efficiency, both at the individual user level and at the global level. Lupamat, which produces technologies that will reduce the amount of energy consumed per product without any decrease in efficiency and work performance, provides an advantage in terms of energy efficiency with its technological features such as variable speed control, central control system, and heat recovery system. proportional control valve and efficient motor use.

3-) Is Air Usage Fixed or Variable?
The consistency and variability of consumption and the quality of oily or non-oily air are factors that determine air quality. Advantage of Lupamat in compressed air; Finding the solution to your problem on your side and with you is the approach of our technical staff. Choosing the right compressor by determining the most rational solution for your business needs is part of Lupamat service quality. Lupamat compressors have excellent performance, are of high quality and reliable. Lupamat is sufficient for all sectors where compressed air is needed.

4-) Should the air quality be oily or non-oily?
Depending on the current developments in the compressor sector, oil-free compressors are also optional in terms of production as an alternative to oil compressors. In terms of the quality of the produced air, foreign substances such as oil and particles should remain in the air in limited quantities.

Although the use of oil compressors has some advantages for the equipment, it can also present some disadvantages in terms of the internal equipment of the compressor.

One of the most important factors when choosing an oil-free or oil-free compressor is what type of compressor your manufacturing facility can produce more efficiently and safely. You can determine which compressor is the most suitable for your production by receiving detailed information from the expert staff of Lupamat about the quality of compressor air determined according to the international ISO 8573-1 Class 0-5 rating.

5-) Is the compressor room suitable?
The compressor room should be built in a place that is protected from external factors such as dust and moisture, has fresh air circulation and maintains temperature values as stable as possible.

The room should be well ventilated, if necessary, sufficient ventilation should be provided with additional ventilation tools.

It is important that the compressor room is built on safe ground.

The room should be of a certain size and height (1.5 meters above the compressor). 

it is recommended to have diversity).

A location in a manufacturing facility that is isolated enough to be unaffected by dust and other particles, yet close and easily accessible to the production center will be positive both in terms of emergency response and production efficiency.

Sound and heat insulation of the compressor room will also be preferred.

Having at least 2 ventilation windows in the compressor room provides an advantage in terms of air circulation in hot weather.
6-) Pay attention to noise levels.
Noise can affect the production area more than you think, so it is important to note that the sound produced by the compressor is between the specified values.

The operational noise level is measured in dB (A) according to ISO 2151.

Critical heat, vibration, noise, flow and power values are similarly measured and recorded using test devices specially designed for Lupamat compressors. Each compressor is tested for at least 4 hours under the most difficult conditions, ensuring that the products are shipped to our customers without any problems.

Lupamat oil-free scroll and oil-free reciprocating compressors reliably offer high-quality clean air, compact size and low noise levels in the toughest environments.

7-) Pay attention to air leaks.
The liquid water formed by pressure and temperature changes in the compressed air unit moves along the compressed air line in the form of droplets. If precautions are not taken, these drops; Pneumatic systems are also prone to corrosion, air leaks, valve seizing, etc. In order to avoid such possible problems, the water separator and the compressed air-liquid water must be separated from each other.

Condensed water at the end points of the air compressor, water separator, air tank, compressed air dryer, line filters, manifold and pipes should be removed from the compressed air system with automatic drains, starting from the aftercooler of the air compressor.

Automatic evacuation can be implemented with float, timer and electronic level control. When choosing automatic evacuations, care should be taken that air leakage during evacuation is at least lossless.

8-) Maintain regular maintenance and pay attention to spare parts prices.
After-sales service and supply of spare parts is a factor to consider for long-term investments such as compressors. With an extensive worldwide dealer and service network, Lupamat offers the most suitable spare parts, maintenance and technical support services you may need after sales.

9-) Pay attention to the application of machine safety directives.
In our R&D department, expert technical personnel create modeling and technical drawings of parts with Autodesk Inventor software.
In addition, static, dynamic, thermal and vibration analyzes of these parts are also conducted and the products are optimized to provide the best service to our customers.

The pressure equipment of the compressors is designed and manufactured in accordance with the Simple Pressure Vessels Directive 2014/29/EC and the EN 286-1 standard. Each pressure vessel is individually hydrostatically tested under 1.5 times the working pressure. security issues.

The safety of Lupamat products begins with rigorous and safe testing in the R&D department
and the process continues until the product is safely delivered to the end user.

Additional features such as remote monitoring, automatic evacuation, central control system and additional safety functions are of great importance for the safe, efficient and convenient use of the product.

10-) Pay attention to the pre or post application of energy saving items such as heat recovery system, inverter, proportional control valve, oil heater.
The manufacturing sector is constantly on the lookout for potential energy savings opportunities worldwide due to increasing energy demand as well as dwindling energy resources. Such energy savings are effectively possible in the compression process in compressed air production. While the electrical energy spent in the process of producing air in the compressor passes through the heat exchanger in the process of cooling the compressor oil, 60% of the spent energy is returned by the received hot water and the use of this hot water for various purposes. in enterprises.

In Lupamat Makina Sanayi LKV-Mi series compressors, at the request and order of customers, the hot water coming out of the heat exchanger in the oil cooling process is used in industrial use with the connection of the cooling exchanger integrated into the system in the compressor in the cabin. , parts washing belt, process heating, kitchens of large enterprises, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, It is used for various purposes in many other sectors, such as warehouse or office heating with central heating connection. 

It can be done.

Lupamat LKV uses Mitsubishi brand inverter in all DHK PLUS and DHK PREMIUM series products. Compressed air and oil lines are made of hydraulic hoses and steel pipes that are unaffected by vibration and expansion. In our compressors of 75 KW and above, it is provided with a radial fan, which ensures more effective cooling of oil and air by suction from the outside of the cabin. At the same time, the used radial fan is activated as a converter.

The refrigerator brand is AKG. In the LKV DHK PLUS and LKV DHK PREMIUM series, an inverter integrated in the electrical panel is used, which saves energy by changing the speed according to the air demand. In conventional oil-injected load/idle compressors, the compressor consumes full power at load, and the compressor wastes unnecessary energy at idle.

In Lupamat DHK series compressors, the inverter adjusts the motor speed according to the air consumption. Depending on the speed of the engine, the power received from the network is variable. All the energy spent in idle time will be earned.

Up to 20 percent energy savings are possible thanks to the proportional control valve that provides energy savings by producing according to the amount of air used with Lupamat and the regular operation of the compressor.
