Uses of compressed air piping system
Air that is pressurized and the pressure which is increased more than the atmospheric pressure is known as compressed air. It is used in industries as well as households across the globe. Compressed air is used in refrigerators, HVAC systems, vehicle braking systems, airplanes, etc. A compressed air piping system delivers air at a predetermined pressure to the point from which it is distributed as intended.
Major components of a compressed air piping system
A compressed air piping system consists of a compressor, an air receiver tank, an air cooler, filters and most importantly a complicated distribution network of pipes.
Vital importance of pipes in a compressed air piping system
The piping network is the backbone of a compressed air system, which also serves as an indicator of the efficiency of the entire system. If the system is not fitted with appropriate sized pipes, then the discharge output will be low, which simply means that the energy being used in compressing the air is being wasted.
Therefore the size of the pipe and the design of the distribution network are crucial for determining the efficiency factor of the compressed air piping system. A wrongly sized or an incorrectly positioned pipe can result in complete system failure, but we can help you prevent any failure in your compressed air piping system.
Material used for the fabrication of pipes
The material chosen for the pipes which are used in a compressed air piping system dominates the output efficiency of the system. The pipes can be made either of plastic or metal. Generally plastic pipes are not used for a number of reasons. They are weaker as compared with metal pipes and the failure of such pipes can lead to grievous injuries and loss of pressurization in the entire system.
Though metal pipes are more favored in compressed air piping systems, the metal which is chosen has a great impact on the overall performance and the output of the system. Some metals which are used for the pipes may be expensive but since they provide a longer running life of the system the overall profit is higher due to lesser maintenance and higher discharge obtained.
If professional assistance is required for choosing the right material for compressed air piping systems , we are here to help you save energy as well as money.
Compressed air piping system services
These systems require periodic maintenance as well as breakdown maintenance. We can provide you with both breakdown and planned maintenance schedules for your compressed air piping system e.
We believe that a system can give its maximum output only if the manufacturer’s instructions are closely followed.
We can provide you with a maintenance checklist for your system, which will ensure that the system runs smoothly.
