Answer: Air system leakage is a continuous source of power loss, so the system leakage points should be checked and eliminated regularly. Under pressure, three 3mm leakage points leak about . One 6mm leakage point leaks about . This is equivalent to the loss of air volume of an 18.75kW air compressor. Calculated at 0.4 yuan per kilowatt-hour and 8,000 hours of operation per year (three shifts), the value of these leaked air losses is 60,000 yuan. During the operation of the compressed air system, ensure that the pressure drop at the end of the pipeline does not exceed 0.06MPa, and the air consumption does not increase significantly, otherwise it should be considered whether there is a system leakage.
