RULE # 1 - Correctly plumb your pneumatic system from the beginning! |
||
|
PNEUMATIC LAW # 1 - Pneumatic systems need clean dry air to function efficiently. |
|||
|
A correctly plumbed pneumatic system not only prolongs pneumatic equipment, but conserves air, and saves your company $$ . The first two key elements involved in attaining a correctly plumbed pneumatic system are to have well maintained compressor and a properly sized air dryer. |
|||
 |
|||
|
A. Slope down piping in the direction of the air flow. Recommended slope is about 1%. |
|||
| B. Run piping overhead, at an elevation higher than machines being supplied. | |||
| C. Loop each line drop to minimize any water that may accumulate in the line from flowing down into a pneumatic component. | |||
| D. Precede every machine devise with a filter-regulator-lubricator unit. | |||
| E. Water cooled compressor aftercoolers are recommended for pneumatic systems having 50 HP and higher. | |||
