Compressed air - Energy efficiency - Assessment (ISO 11011:2013)

This International Standard sets requirements for conducting and reporting the results of a compressed
air system assessment (hereafter referenced as an “assessment”) that considers the entire system, from
energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs.
This International Standard considers compressed air systems as three functional subsystems:
— supply which includes the conversion of primary energy resource to compressed air energy;
— transmission which includes movement of compressed air energy from where it is generated to
where it is used;
— demand which includes the total of all compressed air consumers, including productive end-use
applications and various forms of compressed air waste.
This International Standard sets requirements for
— analysing the data from the assessment,
— reporting and documentation of assessment findings, and
— identification of an estimate of energy saving resulting from the assessment process.
This International Standard identifies the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the
assessment activity.
This International Standard provides indicative information in Annexes B, C, D, and E of the type of
data to be collected to assist in a successful assessment. The information provided is not exhaustive
and therefore is not intended to restrict the inclusion of other data. The form and presentation of the
information given in the annexes is also not intended to restrict the manner of presentation of the
reporting to the client.

Druckluft - Energieeffizienz - Bewertung (ISO 11011:2013)

Air comprimé - Efficacité énergétique - Évaluation (ISO 11011:2013)

L'ISO 11011:2013 fixe les exigences pour obtenir et rapporter les résultats de l'évaluation d'un système d'air comprimé (appelée ci-après «évaluation») tenant compte de tout le système, des entrées d'énergie jusqu'au travail effectué en conséquence de ces entrées.
L'ISO 11011:2013 considère que les systèmes d'air comprimé sont constitués de trois sous-systèmes fonctionnels: une alimentation (offre) incluant la conversion de la ressource d'énergie primaire en énergie d'air comprimé; une transmission incluant le mouvement de l'énergie de l'air comprimé de son lieu de production jusqu'à son lieu d'utilisation; une demande incluant tous les utilisateurs d'air comprimé, y compris les applications d'utilisation finale de production et les diverses formes de consommations perdues d'air comprimé.
L'ISO 11011:2013 fixe des exigences concernant l'analyse des données issues de l'évaluation, le rapport et la documentation des résultats de l'évaluation, et l'identification d'une estimation d'économie d'énergie résultant du processus d'évaluation.
L'ISO 11011:2013 identifie les rôles et les responsabilités des personnes impliquées dans l'activité d'évaluation.

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
1)
This International Standard has been developed with reference to available documentation (see
Bibliography) relating to energy assessment of compressed air systems.
This International Standard is produced to support the objectives of energy management for those
organisations utilizing compressed air and wishing to improve the energy efficiency of such systems.
Remembering the words of Lord Kelvin who said in 1883, “If you cannot measure it, you cannot
improve it”, this International Standard aims to assist with measurement and provide the knowledge
to enable improvement.
The prime consideration for any compressed air system is the ability to generate air with the least
amount of energy. Having done this, the next consideration is to transmit energy from the point of
generation to the point of use with the least loss. The final consideration is to eliminate waste and use
the least amount of air for the production process.
This International Standard uses speciality terms which relate the needs of assessment activities to
those of compressed air systems. Many terms will appear new to the users of this International Standard
who are familiar with general compressed air terms.
A general introduction to energy assessment is given in Annex A.
1) Extracts from ASME EA-4-2010 were used with permission from ASME. The core elements used are from Scope
and Introduction, Organizing the Assessment, Analysis of Data From the Assessment, Reporting and Documentation,
and Mandatory Appendices — I, Preliminary Data Collection Matrix.

Compressed air — Energy efficiency — Assessment
WARNING — Users of this International Standard are advised that energy-related judgements
should not compromise safety issues.
1  Scope
This International Standard sets requirements for conducting and reporting the results of a compressed
air system assessment (hereafter referenced as an “assessment”) that considers the entire system, from
energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs.
This International Standard considers compressed air systems as three functional subsystems:
— supply which includes the conversion of primary energy resource to compressed air energy;
— transmission which includes movement of compressed air energy from where it is generated to
where it is used;
— demand which includes the total of all compressed air consumers, including productive end-use
applications and various forms of compressed air waste.
This International Standard sets requirements for
— analysing the data from the assessment,
— reporting and documentation of assessment findings, and
— identification of an estimate of energy saving resulting from the assessment process.
This International Standard identifies the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the
assessment activity.
This International Standard provides indicative information in Annexes B, C, D, and E of the type of
data to be collected to assist in a successful assessment. The information provided is not exhaustive
and therefore is not intended to restrict the inclusion of other data. The form and presentation of the
information given in the annexes is also not intended to restrict the manner of presentation of the
reporting to the client.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction
1)
This International Standard has been developed with reference to available documentation (see
Bibliography) relating to energy assessment of compressed air systems.
This International Standard is produced to support the objectives of energy management for those
organisations utilizing compressed air and wishing to improve the energy efficiency of such systems.
Remembering the words of Lord Kelvin who said in 1883, “If you cannot measure it, you cannot
improve it”, this International Standard aims to assist with measurement and provide the knowledge
to enable improvement.
The prime consideration for any compressed air system is the ability to generate air with the least
amount of energy. Having done this, the next consideration is to transmit energy from the point of
generation to the point of use with the least loss. The final consideration is to eliminate waste and use
the least amount of air for the production process.
This International Standard uses speciality terms which relate the needs of assessment activities to
those of compressed air systems. Many terms will appear new to the users of this International Standard
who are familiar with general compressed air terms.
A general introduction to energy assessment is given in Annex A.

and Introduction, Organizing the Assessment, Analysis of Data From the Assessment, Reporting and Documentation,

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11011:2013(E)
Compressed air — Energy efficiency — Assessment
WARNING — Users of this International Standard are advised that energy-related judgements
should not compromise safety issues.
1  Scope
This International Standard sets requirements for conducting and reporting the results of a compressed
air system assessment (hereafter referenced as an “assessment”) that considers the entire system, from
energy inputs to the work performed as the result of these inputs.
This International Standard considers compressed air systems as three functional subsystems:
— supply which includes the conversion of primary energy resource to compressed air energy;
— transmission which includes movement of compressed air energy from where it is generated to
where it is used;
— demand which includes the total of all compressed air consumers, including productive end-use
applications and various forms of compressed air waste.
This International Standard sets requirements for
— analysing the data from the assessment,
— reporting and documentation of assessment findings, and
— identification of an estimate of energy saving resulting from the assessment process.
This International Standard identifies the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the
assessment activity.
This International Standard provides indicative information in Annexes B, C, D, and E of the type of
data to be collected to assist in a successful assessment. The information provided is not exhaustive
and therefore is not intended to restrict the inclusion of other data. The form and presentation of the
information given in the annexes is also not intended to restrict the manner of presentation of the
reporting to the client.

3.1  General
3.1.1
air treatment
any process provided for the purpose of separation and purification of the compressed air
3.1.2
artificial demand
excess air consumed by a system’s unregulated or poorly regulated uses due to operating at a pressure
in excess of actual requirements
3.1.3
assessment team
authority to fulfil roles and responsibility of the assessment having appropriate functions and knowledge
3.1.4
baseline
set of typical operating period, work conditions, and performance parameters revealed by assessment
and used for comparison of efficiency of measures recommended as a result of energy efficiency
assessment procedures

performed (DEMAND SIDE) as the result of these inputs; undertaken to observe, measure, and document
energy reduction and performance improvement opportunities in a compressed air system
3.1.8
data logging
measurement of physical parameters while tabulating a periodic log (record) of their numerical value
using time-aligned data frames for the plurality of recorded parameters
Note 1 to entry: Two types of data logging are:
a) dynamics: data logging while creating a sufficiently high frequency periodic log (record) so as to investigate
the time-based variation of measured physical parameters
b) trending: data logging during an extended duration of time for the purpose of investigating regularities,
irregularities, or both in the measured physical parameters throughout time
3.1.9
demand
total of all compressed air consumers, including productive end-use applications and various forms of
compressed air waste
3.1.10
drawdown
circumstance observed in a compressed air system that is characterized by continual pressure decay
arising from a compressed air system event whereby air demand exceeds the capacity of supply

total airflow rate of demand-side consumption
Note 1 to entry: Demand-side consumption includes productive consumers, inappropriate usage, artificial
demand, and demand-side waste. This takes into account supply flow plus or minus the compressed air supplied
to system demand from secondary storage as system pressure decreases. This can also account for the airflow
entering secondary storage as system pressure increases.
3.2.2
flow dynamic application
end use wherein the peak airflow rate and minimum pressure occur simultaneously
3.2.3
flow static application
