Useful Things to Know The Importance of an Efficient Air System An efficient compressed-air system does not just happen. Ensuring minimum pressure loss and the removal of contaminants (water, compressor oil, dirt, rust, pipe scale and other foreign materials) takes proper planning. An inefficient system results in higher energy costs per unit of compressed air, improper or erratic tool operation, shortened component life, reduced capacity and the build-up of rust or sludge in the main and branch lines. Problems such as these can cost businesses millions of dollars a year. Laying out a good compressed-air system takes into account the size of the compressor, as well as how to prepare and distribute the air. Many inefficient systems in operation today are the result of too many add-on components. Air Quality Important factors to consider in achieving and maintaining air quality standards with air-cooled compressed-air equipment include: 1. The location of the compressed-air equipment, which should be based on delivering the desired compressed-air quality and should: Control the ambient temperature. Supply the required cooling airflow. Prevent negative air pressure. Sizing an Air Compressor Sizing an air compressor requires a logical sequence of steps to determine the proper amount of air for the application. The following lays out a systematic approach for making the right decision. Step 1 Determine your air requirements. Use the chart at the bottom to determine your average CFM requirements per tool or check with the manufacturer. In the example below, we are sizing the compressor for a typical auto body shop. Step 2 Once all the air requirements have been determined, total the CFM needed for the air compressor. In this example that would be 80 CFM. Step 3 Allow for leaks and growth of the business. Step 4 Duty Cycle: How long do you expect the compressor to run pumping air during working hours? In this example, 70% of the time you expect the compressor to be providing air to the equipment. (0.7 x 80 CFM = 56 CFM). This is the amount of CFM you would use to determine the proper compressor. Step 5 Determine the required pressure (psig). Most air tools require 90-100 psig. Other tools, such as tire changers, require up to 150 psig. Check with your equipment manufacturers for psig recommendations on other equipment. Step 6 Check for voltage and phase where the compressor is going to be located. If this information is not available, then have a qualified electrician check for voltage and phase. This is a critical step in sizing and selecting the proper compressor. Step 7 Determine the compressor tank (receiver) size. Most manufacturers offer standard sizes based on the CFM of the compressor (the most popular sizes are 80, 120 and 240 gallon). Use ducts to remove exhaust heat. Remove the radiated heat. Recover any wasted heat. Provide the correct airflow pattern across air-cooled compressed-air equipment by installing intake louvers in the wall. Position equipment so that the cooling fan exhaust is in the direction of the airflow. Keep the outside of the air-cooled heat exchangers clean. 2. When installing air-cooled compressed-air equipment, consider the pressure dew point of the compressed air exiting the air dryer, which is dependent upon proper installation. Some symptoms of poor installations of air-cooled compressor equipment are: High compressor operating temperatures. Compressor shutdowns at high temperature. High-discharge air temperature.

Speedaire Designed to support all aspects of pneumatic systems Air-in-Use: Tools Hose Reel serves as a storage device for the hose. It rolls up the hose automatically so that it does not lay on the shop floor. Filter, Regulator, Lubricator further filters the air, regulates the pressure to the required setting, and lubricates the air so the valves and tools operate as required. Air Tools such as impact wrenches, ratchets, drills, grinders, and nailers use compressed air for power. Air tools generally run cooler, weigh less, and are more durable requiring less maintenance than similar electric models. Air Gun Hose Reels Air Tool Filter, Regulator Lubricator Coil Hose Air Cylinder Air Compressor Air Dryer Filter Air Treatment Air-in-Use: Machinery Air Preparation Filter, Regulator, Lubricator further filters the air, regulates the pressure to the required setting, and lubricates the air so the valves and tools operate as required. Coil Hose is a self-storing hose which coils when released. Directional Control Valve directs the compressed air to either one side of the cylinder or the other to either extend or retract the cylinder. Air Cylinder is used to produce force in a linear direction. Filter, Regulator Lubricator Directional Control Valve Air Dryer takes compressed air and dries it so that the moisture generated by compressing it does not damage the in-line components. Air Compressor is a source of power. It uses a motor to take ambient air and compress it. The storage tank holds air until it is needed. Air Treatment is provided by the coalescing filter which filters oil out of the compressed air. Filter captures contaminants in the compressed air. Terms to know Aftercoolers - Used to remove the heat of the air after compression is complete. This is one of the most effective means of removing moisture from compressed air. Air Receivers - Tanks into which the compressed air is discharged from the compressor. Receivers help to eliminate pulsation in the discharge line and also store the compressed air for intervals when demand exceeds the capacity of the compressor. CFM Delivered - Volume of air delivered to the system by the air compressor at rated pressure. Constant Speed Control - A unit that runs continuously, but matches air-supply demand by loading or unloading the compressor. Cycle Time - Amount of time for a compressor to fill a receiver, provided no air is being used. Dew Point - The temperature at which moisture in the air will begin to condense if the air is cooled at constant pressure. At this point the relative humidity is 100%. Pressure Lubrication - A positive displacement oil pump draws oil from the crankcase and delivers it under pressure to all sleeve bearings. PSI - Pounds per square inch, a rating of air pressure in the system. PSIA - PSI Absolute. Also known as actual pressure. PSIG - PSI Gauge. Gauge pressure shows amount of air pressure above ambient. Reciprocating - Where each compressing element consists of a piston moving back and forth in a cylinder. Single Stage - Compression from initial to final pressure is complete in a single step or stage. Splash Lubrication - A portion of the crankshaft or connecting rod dips into the oil reservoir and splashes a mist or spray onto the lower end. Two-Stage - Compression from initial to final pressure is completed in two distinct steps or stages. Unload (or No Load) - Air compressor continues to run, but no air is delivered because the intake is either closed off or modified, not allowing inlet air to be trapped. www.grainger.com/speedaire 2009 W.W.
