| dc.description.abstract | This paper introduces new concepts in compressed air piping, sizing, and system design beyond the conventional pipe sizing charts and standard system layout guide lines. The author shows how compressed air velocity has a very significant impact on the pressure losses and piping performance. Case studies are used to show how conventional piping design and sizing keep “extra compressors on line” - preclude proper control operation - waste energy - shorten filter life - and have a negative impact on dryer performance. The principles offered in this paper will help to trouble shoot old systems and help design new systems. They will also help to avoid many common mistakes made over the last 30 to 35 years with the ascendance in popularity of the rotary screw compressor package. | en |
