GUNT Launches DigiSkills 4

Filed in Uncategorised | Posted by Philip Chilton on 29th May 2024

We at GUNT are pleased to announce the launch of DigiSkills 4 – Energy efficiency in compressed air systems. This is the latest addition to our five learning projects that encompass digitalisation within engineering education.

Compressed air is one of the most widely used energy source in industry. There are many initiatives to make compressed air applications in companies more energy efficient. The potential for savings is diverse and high. In addition to reducing operating costs, there is also the aspect of improving the climate situation to consider.

The topic Energy efficiency in compressed air systems of the DigiSkills 4 learning project deals with these potential savings. The didactic concept includes familiarisation with the components and learning how they work and interact. Potential savings are identified and analysed in order to achieve energy-saving operation and to create an appropriate design of compressed air systems.

As just one example, students use the MT 175 system to familiarise themselves with all the functional groups of an industrial compressed air generation system: compression, preparation, storage and consumption. Heat generated during compression is efficiently utilised to heat rooms and other spaces. The overall process is analysed from an energy perspective and potential savings are identified.

Pressure, temperature, volumetric flow rate and electrical power are measured at relevant measuring points. The GUNT software uses these to calculate characteristic variables in order to analyse the energy efficiency of the system.

The GUNT Media Centre provides a digital learning environment for all steps of the didactic concept.

• Augmented Reality interface
• extensive technical information: engineering drawings, process schematics, manufacturer documents
• videos with functional principles or assembly
• detailed manuals
• practical exercises
