Introduction To Compressed Air System

This document provides an overview of compressed air systems. It describes basic equipment like compressors, air receivers, filters, dryers and piping. It discusses components like air treatment filters to remove particles, and refrigerant dryers to remove moisture. It also covers topics like system layout, sizing compressors based on air demand, selecting air receivers and pipe sizing. Standards for compressed air systems are also listed. The document is serving as an introduction to compressed air systems for engineering students.

COMPRESSORS
SIZING COMPRESSOR
 Air Demand (Liter/minute)
 Working Pressure( bar)
 Number of pneumatic tool/equipments
 Utilazation factor (10%-50%)
 Effective air demand (Liter/minute)
Type of tool and size give different air
consumption
Example: Selection of Compressor

Operational Spray gun Wrench Blow gun Screw


Data driver
Air demand 150 L/m 320L/m 240L/m 400L/m

Working 2.5 bar 5 bar 6 bar 6 bar


pressure

Number off units 2 1 1 1

Utilazation factor 50% 25% 10% 20%


(duty time)

Effective air (2x150x.5) 320 x0.25 240L x0.1 400 x 0.2


demand =150 L/m =80 L/m =24L/m =80L/m

Total air demand=150+80+24+80 =334 L/m


Required volume= {334+334( 10%leakage +15%error+15%reserve)}
=467L/m at 6 bar
Then refer catalogue
AIR RECEIVER
 Required in almost of compressed air system
 To act as buffer and air storage
 Standard range available 90 – 10000 litres
 Working pressure 11 – 50 bar
AIR RECEIVER

STANDARD FITTING
•Ball valve
•Pressure relief valve
•Pressure gauge
•Drain tap
AIR TREATMENT/FILTER
 To remove dirt particles and the majority
pollution
 Pure air reduces down time of the pneumatic
machines
 To save servicing maintenance and repair
cost
 Particle retention 1-3 micron m
REFRIGERANT DRYER
 To remove water vapour from the
compressed air.
 Reduce break down, production down
time, maintenance and repair cost
 Consist heat exchanger
 IP 52-54 class of protection
 Refrigerant circuit is seal and incorporates
a scroll compressor type.
PIPE SIZING AND SELECTION OF
PIPEWORK
Bore size of the pipeline selection depend on:-
 Air consumption
 Length of the air line
 Working pressure
 Pressure drop

e.g:- FAD =1 m3/min,


W.pressure =7.5 bar,
Pine length =50m length
=1” bore diameter. (from table :kaeser)
PIPE MATERIAL
 Steel or plastic ?
 Galvanised
 Stainless steel
 Copper
 Polymer
Example of the filter
AIR FILTER
STANDARDS

 BS 1042 – Method OF Measurement of Fluid


Flow in Closed Conduits
 BS 1710 – Identification of Pipelines
 BS 6244 – Code of Practice for Stationery
Compressor
 ASME code - SECTION 8-11
