Kaeser Compressors, Inc.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 25% of compressed air is lost to leaks — resulting in unnecessarily high operating costs. In many plants the leak losses are much higher.
Kaeser’s white paper, “Compressed Air System Leaks: The Cost, Common Culprits, Detection, and Repair” describes the best practices for a cost-effective leak identification and repair program.

TECH ARTICLE

[Analog to digital conversion](
"Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) transform an analog voltage to a binary number (a series of 1's and 0's), and then eventually to a digital number (base 10) for reading on a meter, monitor, or chart. The number of binary digits (bits) that represents the digital number determines the ADC resolution." [Read this article in its entirety](.
