AIR COMPRESSOR ACCESSORIES
Air System Set-up
Building an Efficient Air System Compressed-air-powered equipment and machinery are critical elements in the productivity, efficiency and economy of today’s industry. Quality air is the essential element for effective operation of this equipment. Water and dirt can cause major problems in compressed air lines. The use of filters that remove moisture and impurities from the air help high-speed pneumatic production lines operate more efficiently. Regulators and lubricators may also be added to control and lubricate downstream equipment. A quality air system can save time, money and keep equipment operating at maximum efficiency.
Air Compressor
Hot air leaves compressor, water vapor cools and liquefies as it goes downstream

Important Steps for an Air System Set-up 1. Main-line filter and regulator should be installed at least 20-feet from the compressor. The air will cool down, allowing much of the water vapor to condense naturally for removal by filtration. 2. All line-drops (workstations) should be taken from the top of the main line. This prevents water from flowing into branch lines. 3. Galvanized pipe is recommended when building an air system. Follow illustration to the right when building a workstation drop.
