Compressed Air is considered to be the 4th largest utility.

It is estimated that in businesses and plants that utilize compressed air, up to 30% or more of the total air demand is lost to unregulated leaks (At $0.06/kWh at 8,000 hours run time per year 10 CFM costs $1,000.00 per year!)

At full load Ingersoll-Rand's Nirvana compressor will produce the most air using the least energy; and will continue to do so down to loads as low as 20%. Nirvana runs at 95% efficiency throughout its entire speed range.
