Here's something we see a lot when we audit compressor rooms across Central and Southwest Virginia and Southern West Virginia: two compressors that were sized correctly on paper, but fight each other in real life.
We pulled data from a real audit where a fixed-speed compressor and a variable speed compressor kept loading and unloading against each other for hours. Production never noticed. The energy bill did.
If your compressor room has more than one unit in it, this is worth a read.
