Also included on the free CD package is Champion’s compressed air technical manual and product catalogue. AirXpert was conceptualised and designed by Champion’s engineering and technical support team. It is a comprehensive guide to best-practice methods associated with the selection, installation and operation of industrial air compressors.
Taking the form of an interactive user-friendly presentation, the air compressor installation checklist consists of ‘clickable’ menus that provide information on installation parameters. Such parameters include access, ventilation, electrical and piping, plus critical installation recommendations. Using a combination of animation, tables, diagrams and calculation sheets, the presentation identifies all safety and operational issues that must be addressed before, during and after installation. AirXpert’s all-inclusive content makes it a valuable troubleshooting reference during both commissioning and everyday operation.
According to Champion Compressors Marketing Specialist, Paul Issai, AirXpert helps ensure efficient use of resources, while providing a useful learning tool. “AirXpert greatly reduces the need for time-consuming maintenance and replacement of parts resulting from incorrect installation,” said Issai. “By educating our customers, we hope to make them more aware of the challenges associated with air compressors and their installation.”
Champion’s multi-disciplined design team has ensured that the installation checklist is suitable for users of varying levels of technical aptitude. “The installation checklist is easily utilised by specialist engineers, maintenance staff and air compressor novices. You don’t have to be an air compressor expert to benefit from the information offered in the presentation--but you will become one,” said Issai.
Running on Windows 98 and above, AirXpert will be of value to all air compressor users. “The concepts detailed in the AirXpert are largely generic,” said Issai. “It will be made available to anyone with an interest in efficient and safe air compressor installation.” For a free copy of AirXpert, contact your local Champion Compressors branch.
