Project Case Study: Tunnel Construction with Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10
Project Overview
- Location: Hubei, China
- 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 compressor system under real jobsite conditions.
- Spraying Time: 10 hours
- Rock Drilling Time: 3 hours
- Total Power Consumption (AWT-10): 1,464 kWh
Comparison with Traditional Compressor
A competing two-stage compressor (2 × 27m³/min, 8kg) was tested under the same working hours:
- Operation Time: 13 hours
- Total Power Consumption: 2,875 kWh
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Thanks to the high-efficiency inverter system, the AWT-10 delivered substantial savings:
- Daily Power Savings: 1,411 kWh
- Energy Efficiency Gain: Approximately 50% reduction
- Estimated Daily Cost Savings: 1,411 CNY (at 1 CNY/kWh)
Estimated Long-Term Savings
In a 3,000-meter tunnel project, moving the compressor closer to the drilling site could generate savings exceeding 1 million CNY over the full project duration.
Why Choose Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10?
- ✅ 50% Less Energy Usage than traditional systems
- ✅ Stable Air Supply for both spraying and drilling
- ✅ Significant Electricity Cost Reduction for long-term projects
- ✅ Efficient Deployment even when located at tunnel entrance
