In industry also called compressed air, is air, which kept under pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. Compressed air is an important medium for transfer of energy in industrial processes. Losses of compressed air in a system is called in main companies as small, insignificant lost of energy. This is one of the biggest failure of companies for wasting energy/money
Example:
System air pressure: 6 Bar = 87 psi
System running: 24/7 = 8,760 h/Year
Estimated costs: 0.03 Eur/m3
1 Hole: 1mm
Losses of Energy and money: 37,843 m3/Year == 1,135 Euro/Year
