Operation 5. Operation The energy saving (ES) function regulates the feed pressure to the ejector, to reach the desired vacuum level in order to minimize compressed air usage. The piSAVE® ESL is set to a desirable vacuum level by rotating the adjustment knob. piSAVE® ESL will regulate the inlet pressure, so the ejector reaches the set vacuum level regardless of the type of leaking material handled.
