Requirement
In 1997, SANPAR conducted a case study in Hindustan Motors, Calcutta. It was found that the plant was equipped with a centralized Desiccant Dryer. Desiccant Dryer works with at least 25% purge losses for the purpose of regeneration of the desiccant. Apart from this loss, SANPAR noticed air leakage in the pneumatic line.
Solution
SANPAR suggested Hindustan Motors to replace the desiccant Dryer by a refrigerated Dryer, which is an energy efficient equipment and has no such, purge losses. Also, suggested the customer to arrest all the leaks in the pneumatic lines.
