Questions about building of pneumatic systems of the enterprise

A business's pneumatic system is a set of equipment designed for producing, preparing, transporting, and distributing compressed air. Currently, a huge number of different enterprises use pneumatic systems in their work. The quality of products, the service life of equipment, and the profitability of an enterprise directly depend on the quality and reliability of the pneumatic system. In this regard, the design and installation of pneumatic systems are of particular importance...

Variable-frequency drive: pros and cons

Reorganizing the compressor fleet is one of the most pressing tasks in the technical re-equipment of enterprises. Many enterprises have inherited powerful piston compressor units with a capacity ranging from several tens to hundreds of m3/min from the Soviet economy. The use of such equipment, which has long been worn out both physically and morally, does not allow for any energy savings. In addition, the costs of constant repairs to piston compressors, the maintenance of numerous service personnel, the organization of a circulating water supply (most piston compressors are water-cooled), and colossal losses due to leaks in pipelines all add up to significant financial costs. Moreover, the very principle of centralized compressed air supply is now hopelessly outdated.

Compressed air filters

The purification of compressed air used in industry is subject to increasingly stringent requirements. This is due to both the widespread introduction of pneumatic systems used to transport bulk materials and the need to ensure the cleanliness of various production processes that use compressed air. Tighter environmental controls also play a significant role: air returned to the environment must contain a minimum of pollutants introduced by the compressor and the consuming system.

Compressed air preparation systems: rational selection and cost reduction

Compressed air preparation is a necessary step in the operation of any industrial pneumatic system. The preparation process consists of removing various types of impurities from the air in the form of solid, liquid, and gaseous inclusions, such as dust, condensate, scale, compressor oil, pneumatic equipment wear products, and other contaminants. In addition, preparation includes pressure regulation and smoothing of pressure fluctuations, and, if necessary, the supply of lubricant for pneumatic devices.

On the modernization of the compressor fleet of enterprises

The widespread use of pneumatic equipment and tools in industry poses a problem for consumers in terms of organizing an optimal compressed air supply system for production. To solve this problem, it is necessary to answer at least two questions: what is the concept for supplying air to the enterprise, site, or workplace, and what type of compressor should be used?

Screw compressor: New quality – new possibilities

This article discusses the reorganization of pneumatic systems in industrial enterprises. This is a problem that everyone faces. In existing production facilities, compressor equipment wear has reached a critical level, and the question of its replacement has become acute. Enterprises that are modernizing individual sections are purchasing new equipment and must decide how they plan to supply air to it. Newly built enterprises have a simpler task on the one hand, but a more complex one on the other. They do not need to rebuild anything or take into account the existing structure of pneumatic networks, but they must choose the most optimal scheme for organizing the pneumatic system of the factory or plant as a whole.

Adsorption compressed air dryers

In this article, we will examine the design and operating characteristics of adsorption dryers that can achieve dew points of -20°C, -40°C, and -70°C. Dehumidifiers of this class are widely used in the electronics, food, and medical industries. They are also used in centralized compressor stations of industrial enterprises with an extensive pneumatic network, especially in winter in areas with sub-zero temperatures. Indeed, air passing through external pipelines is cooled to ambient temperature, and for effective drying, the dew point must be lower than the temperature of the compressed air. Another area of application for adsorption dryers is bulk material transport systems.

Recommendations for selecting piston compressors

Today, the piston compressor market offers not only a wide variety of models, but also a huge number of manufacturers, ranging from major global leaders to little-known Chinese cooperatives. The range of models, from domestic to industrial, is so diverse that it is sometimes difficult to choose a specific model even within the same company.

Why screw compressors?

Piston compressors have been increasingly losing ground in a number of industries, giving way to their more advanced screw counterparts. Many business leaders are beginning to consider switching to screw compressors. Is such a transition justified? Are the additional costs associated with replacing compressor equipment worth the benefits that screw compressors will bring? Which compressor should you buy—a more modern screw compressor or a cheaper piston compressor? Let's try to answer these questions.
