Which one consumes the most air: control valves, regulating valves, diaphragm pumps, or bag filters?

Which of factory compressed air, control valves, regulating valves, diaphragm pumps, bag filters, nitrogen sealing devices, and nitrogen purging consumes the most gas? How about sorting? How to equip an air compressor and a nitrogen generator?
That argument doesn’t hold; the air consumption of a 5-gallon diaphragm pump is different from that of a 20-gallon one. The DN25 cut-off valve and the DN200 control valve can’t be compared either, right? There’s no need to mention the others
I don’t know about the others. However, pneumatic valves have their air consumption determined by the cylinder diameter
The maximum for normal production of bag dust collectors
I’m not familiar with diaphragm pumps; when the pulse valve of a dust collector operates, it is used for exhaust, and this is when the air consumption is at its highest.
There are no specified dimensions, so there is no basis for comparison. When it comes to the entire installation setup, it depends on what kind of production facility it is; for example, questions related to systems arise in the case of a fertilizer plant with a capacity of 1 million tons or an aromatic hydrocarbons plant with a capacity of 5 million tons.
Comparability is only possible for specific units; the consumption of utility resources is calculated. Or, based on estimates for similar devices, there is no universal usage amount.
Bag filters require the highest volume of air and also have specific pressure requirements
