Claim 17:
18. A method for gauging energy used for producing a unit of mass or volume of compressed gas (Specific Energy Consumption) in relation to a common output flow in a multiple compressor system, said method comprising:
from a first compressor, constructing an ideal specific energy consumption curve in the first compressor as a function of the output flow of the first compressor; and
from the first compressor and a second compressor, constructing a combined ideal specific energy consumption curve in the first compressor and the second compressor as a function of the combined output flow of the first compressor and the second compressor;
constructing one or several ideal specific energy consumption curve(s) for multiple combined compressors, in any combination(s), wherein the ideal specific energy consumption curve(s) for any of the compressor combinations is an ideal specific energy consumption curve based on an operating mode with at least one unloaded compressor;
creating an operation model for the multiple compressor system; and
adapting the multiple compressor system based on the operation model.
