air supply systems are not all the same. But they all perform the same function. They supply a sufficient volume of
clean and dry air at the constant pressure required by all plant instruments.  Instrumentation Questions

The primary function of the electric motor is to provide a rotary motion to drive the compressor.

 Vibration Measurement
The Compressor converts the mechanical energy provided by a prime mover (e.g. an electric motor) into the
potential energy of compressed air.  whatis

The Inlet Air Filter

This removes dust and dirt from atmospheric air before it enters the suction inlet of the compressor.

The After Cooler

This cools the air leaving the air compressor. This is done by passing cooling water over the after cooler chamber.

Moisture Separator

This removes most of the moisture from the air.

Condensate Trap

This collects the condensed liquid from the moisture separator and drains the liquid periodically when the
Condensate levels gets too high.

Air Receiver

This stores large volumes of the compressed air. It also provides an emergency supply of air for a short period of time
in the event of compressor failure.

Safety Relief Valve

This indicates system output pressure.

Oil Remover

This is used to remove oil carried out by the air during the compression cycle. If the oil vapour is not removed from
the compressed air it slowly forms into droplets large enough to plug up tiny instrument tubings and nozzles.

Dryers

These dry any moisture that is left in the air.

Air Distribution System.

This is the final step in producing a properly balanced instrument air system. It should provide delivery to all air
users with a minimum supply variation of approximately 125 to 150 psi or 8.618 to 10.342 bar of pressure.
