Importance of Compressor Oil Filtration
  The compressor oil filter’s task is to remove all wear-promoting impurities from the oil
  without separating any special additives. In both oil free and oil injected compressors the
  compressor oil is used for lubrication of the compressor element bearings and drive shaft
  bearings as well as the gears, any dust or dirt ingression will damage the rollers of these
  bearings and the gear contact surfaces. Wear of the bearings or damage to the gears will eventually result in rotor contact, this will result in performance loss and reduced compressor element life. In oil-injected screws where the oil is used for sealing between the rotors and heat removal, the dust and dirt in the compressor oil will end up between the rotors and compressor element housing and result in damage of the rotors and therefore performance loss.

It is less harmful to supply unfiltered oil to the element than to supply no oil at all.  READ MORE

Pressure change vs. BHP (brake horse power) change
For positive displacement compressors (rotary screw): BHP changes 0.5% for every 1 psig change in pressure, in the same direction.

Example: A 1000 CFM compressor requires 200 BHP to make 100 psig. The same compressor, operating at the same speed will require (200 x 1.10) = 220 BHP to compress to 120 psig.  That's 10% more energy used to create 20 BHP.

Power Cost Calculation--For one year operation:

BHP  x  .746 kw  x  $Cost  x  Operating Hrs  =  Operating $
