Designing a modern and state-of-the-art compressor room involves several key considerations to ensure efficiency, safety, and reliability. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:

·       Centralized Location: Position the compressor room in a centralized location close to the point of use. This minimizes pressure drops and improves operating economy.

·       Space and Layout: Ensure there is enough space for easy maintenance and future expansion. The layout should allow for proper ventilation and noise control.

·       Clean Intake Air: The intake air for the compressor must be clean and free of contaminants to ensure efficient operation and intake fan must be installed to keep the positive air pressure in the compressor room.

·       Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial to dissipate heat generated by the compressors and maintain optimal operating temperatures.

·       Heat Recovery: You can reuse this excessive and exhausted heat in your processes or facility for heating purposes by installing a heat recovery system in your compressor room.

·       Auxiliary Equipment: Include necessary auxiliary equipment such as air dryers, filters, and air receivers to maintain the quality and consistency of the compressed air.

·       Monitoring: Install power and flow meters in your compressor room to monitor the power supply and compressed air generated to check the efficiency of your compressed air system and monitor the costs

·       Safety and Compliance: Adhere to local regulations and safety standards to ensure the compressor room is safe for operation and maintenance.

The Center of Excellence in Compressed Air (CECA) at the National Textile University (NTU) in Faisalabad, Pakistan, is a pioneering facility established on October 16, 2020. This center is the first fully featured compressed air training facility in Pakistan, created in collaboration with the Asian Institute of Industrial Air (AIIA), National Textile University, Rastgar Group of Companies, and international equipment suppliers from Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
