Tier 4 Final Engines: Considerations for Fuel, DEF, Exhaust After-Treatment, and Regeneration


USWPTIER4FNL
This white paper provides some basic facts and information on Tier 4 final engines in regards to diesel engine equipment such as portable air compressors.

Applying root cause analysis to compressed air


USWPRCA
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic approach to problem solving, commonly applied when there is a significant failure or issue with far-reaching impact. This paper will discuss how to apply Root Cause Analysis to compressed air systems.

Protecting your Portable Compressor Year-Round


USWPSSNMAINT

In this white paper we discuss maintenance points for air compressors that can contribute to more uptime and longer life. While your primary guide to service for your particular equipment is the product service manual, we’ll address how service needs may be affected by changes in seasonal climate.

Basics of Rotary Screw Compressor Lubricants


USWPLUBE
Covers the advantages and disadvantages of the several types of fluids used today.

Turning Air Compressors into an Energy Source


USWPHEATREC
More than just providing plant air, they're also a useful source of heat, energy savings, and sustainable operations.

Compressed Air System Leaks: The Cost, Common Culprits, Detection, and Repair


USWPLEAKS
Describes best practices for a cost effective leak identification and repair program.

Hazardous Area Classification Considerations


USWPHAZAREA
Partly due to an expanded use of the hazardous area classification system, specifiers are increasingly citing requirements for equipment suitable for use in classified areas. When properly used, the hazardous area classification system makes for a safer work environment. Too often, however, hazard classes are specified without concern for the significantly higher design and procurement costs they bring. In many cases, an open mind and a little ingenuity can avoid excessive costs for compressors and other equipment, without compromising safety.

The Proper Application of Pressure/Flow Controllers


USWPFLOWCTRL
Whether you call them intermediate controls, flow controls, pressure/flow controls, demand expanders, or any other name, the proper application of them has always been a bit confusing to users. This white paper applies to most all pressure/flow controls and will explain their proper application and benefits.

Controls for Industrial Compressed Air Systems


USWPCONTRLS
Advanced control capabilities minimize equipment run times, maintain stable air pressures, and deliver rapid payback in operational and energy savings.

Comprehensive Compressed Air Assessments: The 5-Step Process


USWPAUDITS
