Compressed Air Audit Services in Canada

Compressed air systems can become more expensive and less reliable when pressure, equipment efficiency, air loss or moisture problems go unchecked.

Central Air Equipment helps facilities across Alberta coordinate comprehensive compressed air audits performed by N2O2. The audit uses real operating data to evaluate system performance, identify where efficiency and capacity are being lost, and develop prioritized recommendations for improving the system.

Understand What Is Affecting Your Compressed Air System

A compressed air audit evaluates more than individual compressor equipment. It looks at how air is generated, treated, stored, distributed and used throughout the facility. 

An audit can help your team better understand: 

  • High compressed air operating costs 
  • Low or inconsistent system pressure 
  • Capacity concerns during production 
  • Inefficient compressor operation 
  • Suspected air leaks 
  • Moisture in compressed air lines 
  • Whether additional compressor capacity is actually needed 
  • Where compressed air is being used or lost 

CAE works with N2O2 to coordinate the audit and help customers move from system findings to practical next steps.

Types of Compressed Air Audits

A complete compressed air system audit includes supply-side, demand-side, leak and dew point analysis. Alternatively, each service can be performed independently when there is a specific concern to investigate. 

Supply-Side Audits

Evaluate how compressed air is produced, treated, stored, controlled and distributed throughout the system.

Supply-side audits can uncover compressor efficiency issues, pressure fluctuations, inadequate storage, control problems, equipment sizing concerns and other conditions that may be affecting system capacity and operating costs.

Demand-Side Audits

Understand where and how compressed air is being used across your facility.

Demand-side analysis can identify artificial demand, excessive air consumption, high-demand applications and processes using more pressure or airflow than necessary.

Compressed Air Leak Audits

Identify and quantify compressed air losses throughout the facility.

Each leak is documented with a photograph, estimated leak rate and projected annual cost, helping your team prioritize repairs based on potential savings and system impact.

Dew Point Audits

Assess moisture levels and dryer performance throughout the compressed air system.

Dew point analysis can pinpoint moisture-related problem areas and help determine whether compressed air quality is appropriate for your equipment, processes and production requirements.

Find Leaks in Your Compressed Air System

Compressed air leaks waste energy, reduce available system capacity and can force compressors to run longer than necessary. With ultrasonic leak detection, we’re able to locate leaks throughout the system. 

Benefits of a Compressed Air Audit

A compressed air audit provides a clear picture of how your system is operating, where air and energy may be going to waste, and which improvements can deliver the greatest impact.

It can help your facility:

  • Lower compressed air operating costs
  • Improve system pressure and reliability
  • Recover usable system capacity
  • Improve compressor performance and efficiency
  • Identify moisture and air quality concerns
  • Plan system improvements with prioritized recommendations and estimated savings

The result is a practical, system-specific improvement plan built around measured operating data.

What Do You Receive From a Compressed Air Audit?

The final engineering report provides both technical findings and financial information to support system planning and investment decisions. 

Depending on the audit scope, the report may include: 

  • Executive summary and key findings 
  • Compressed air use and operating-cost breakdown 
  • Detailed engineering analysis, graphs and calculations 
  • Individual compressor efficiency compared with manufacturer specifications 
  • Estimated air leak losses 
  • Current versus proposed operating costs 
  • Recommendations prioritized by implementation timing 
  • Estimated equipment and installation costs 
  • Total estimated annual savings 
  • Updated compressor layout or system sketch 

Recommendations may be organized into improvements to address as soon as possible, projects to plan within 6–12 months and longer-term improvements to consider within 12–18 months. 

How Central Air Equipment and N2O2 Work Together

Start With CAE

Talk with our team about the problems, concerns or performance questions you have within your compressed air system.

N2O2 Conducts the Audit

N2O2 engineers collect and analyze system data under normal operating conditions to identify performance issues and develop detailed recommendations.

Review the Findings

Your audit report outlines the conditions affecting system performance, associated operating costs and opportunities for improvement.

Determine the Next Steps

N2O2 develops proposed system improvements through Central Air Equipment. Our team then works with you to review the recommendations, prioritize opportunities and determine the right path forward.
