Energy-Efficient Air Compression Solution – Hubei China Communications Second Navigation Engineering Bureau Tunnel Project

Project Overview

• Location: Hubei

• Contractor: China Communications Second Navigation Engineering Bureau (CCSEB)

• Project Type: Tunnel Construction

• Equipment Used:

• Dry Spraying Machine: 7m³ One-to-Two Spraying System

• Air Compressors: Located at tunnel entrance

• Pneumatic Rock Drills: 11 units

Aivyter Solution

In this tunnel project, the Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10 was deployed and compared against a traditional air compression system under real working conditions.

• Spraying Time: 10 hours

• Rock Drilling Time: 3 hours

• Total Power Consumption (AWT-10): 1,464 kWh

Comparison with Traditional Air Compressors

A competing brand’s two-stage compression energy-saving air compressor (2 × 27m³, 8kg) was tested under the same working conditions:

• Operation Time: 13 hours

• Total Power Consumption: 2,875 kWh

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

By using the Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10, the project achieved significant power savings compared to traditional compressors:

• Daily Power Savings: 2,875 kWh - 1,464 kWh = 1,411 kWh

• Energy Efficiency Improvement: Approximately 50% reduction in energy consumption.

• Daily Cost Savings: 1,411 CNY (Assuming electricity cost of 1 CNY per kWh).

Long-Term Savings Potential

If the compressor is moved further into the tunnel, taking a 3,000-meter tunnel as an example, the Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10 is estimated to save over 1 million CNY in electricity costs throughout the project.

Why Choose Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10?

✅ Superior Energy Efficiency: Saves up to 50% energy compared to traditional compressors.
✅ High Reliability: Ensures stable air supply for spraying and rock drilling operations.
✅ Cost Reduction: Significant savings on electricity, especially for long-distance tunneling projects.
✅ Flexible Deployment: Effective even when stationed at tunnel entrances.
