Leaks are common in compressed air systems. To determine if you have any, just walk around your plant during a non-production time and listen. If you hear a "hiss," you have probably identified a leak that should be marked for repair. Repairing leaks reduces your air requirement, the demand on your compressed air equipment, and ultimately saves energy. 2, record 1, English, - compressed%20air%20equipment
