Compressed Air Simulator

About

Built from both sides of the problem.

CasPro was built by an engineer who has worked with compressed air equipment, measured and analysed real mechanical systems, worked inside industrial production, and spent the last decade building software.

That combination shaped the product: model the physics, measure what's actually happening in the plant, calibrate one against the other — then test the changes before making them.

01

Compressed air came first

My first professional work with compressed air was on the equipment side, supporting industrial compressor systems in the field. That's the compressor-room perspective: how machines are specified, how they behave, what customers ask — and what happens outside the catalogue data.

02

Then came experimental engineering

Later, as a research engineer, I built experimental setups and measured how real mechanical systems behave under dynamic conditions. That work teaches a useful lesson: a theoretical model and a real system are two different things — until measurement connects them.

03

Then the other side of the decision

Working in production engineering, I was on the other side of industrial equipment decisions. The question was no longer what a machine could theoretically do — it was whether a change would actually improve a production system, and whether it justified the disruption, the risk and the cost. That's the position most CasPro users are in today.

04

Then software made a different tool possible

For the last decade, my work has been in software systems and digital products. That's what made a different kind of tool possible — not another spreadsheet that calculates one condition, but software where you draw the system, run it dynamically, calibrate it against measurements from the plant, change something — and see what happens.

Those four threads became CasPro

COMPRESSED AIR

Model the physics

the system, from compressor room to points of use

MEASUREMENT

Measure the plant

pressures, power, timing — what's actually happening

PRODUCTION

Calibrate the model

so it behaves like the system you run, not a generic one

SOFTWARE

Test the change

before the money is spent and production is disrupted

Since 2003

Compressed air knowledge since 2003

CasPro is built by the team behind air-compressor-guide.com, which has published independent compressed air information since 2003 — troubleshooting guides, systems design articles, a book and a course.

Over that time, the questions have become increasingly familiar.

CasPro is a way to answer those questions for the specific system in front of you.

Twenty years of the same questions

  • "What is this leak actually costing?"
  • "Is lowering the pressure worth it?"
  • "Will a VSD save energy here?"
  • "Is the receiver large enough?"
  • "What happens at the far end of the system?"

Independent by business model

CasPro sells software. We don't sell compressors, monitoring equipment or engineering projects, and we don't receive manufacturer commissions.

If a proposed change saves energy, the model should show it. If it doesn't, it should show that too.

We're currently working directly with a small group of compressed air professionals on real systems before the public launch.
