Causes of Compressed Air Systems Stopping Duty Cycle

Compressed air systems are integral to various industries, from manufacturing to automotive repair. However, a common issue that can significantly impact their efficiency and cost-effectiveness is the need for air compressors to stop in between uses. This interruption can be due to several factors, including the compressor's duty cycle, overheating, and maintenance requirements. Understanding why compressed air systems has to stop in between uses and how to address this issue is crucial for maintaining...

Belt-Driven Piston Compressors

Belt-Driven Piston Compressors Belt-driven piston compressors get their name from the belt that connects the motor to the pump. When the motor runs, the belt drives the pump by turning the pulleys. The diameter of the pulleys determines the speed of the unit, and belt-driven compressors often work with 2-pole motors operating at speeds ranging from 800 to 14,000 RPM. Because of the belt, the motor and the shaft operate at different speeds. This setup allows for higher torque at reduced ...

Key Considerations When Selecting Compressor HP

Key Considerations When Selecting Compressor HP Type of Application Ensure that the horsepower (HP) of your compressor aligns with your airflow (CFM) requirements. The more tools or machinery you operate simultaneously, the higher the CFM needed. It's crucial to calculate your total CFM needs based on your specific operations to prevent overloading your compressor. Airflow Needs Regularly check hoses and tubing for visible signs of wear, s...

Primary Functions of an Air Storage Tank

Primary Functions of an Air Storage Tank Storage: The primary function of an air storage tank is to store compressed air. This storage capability allows the system to meet short-term peak air demands that the compressor alone cannot handle. Pressure Stabilisation: A compressed air vessel helps stabilise the pressure in the system. It acts as a buffer, reducing the impact of pressure fluctuations caused by varying demand. Moisture Removal: Moist...

Single vs Two Stage Air Compressor

Single vs Two Stage Air Compressor Single-Stage Air Compressor A single-stage air compressor means that there is only one compression process to reach the delivery pressure from the inlet pressure. The single-stage pump can have a single cylinder or multiple cylinders with the same bore diameter (size). During the compression process, air is drawn into the cylinder through the inlet valves as the piston descends. When the piston ascend...

Pressure Basics

Pressure Basics Pressure vs Flow Pressure gives force; flow gives volume. High pressure with insufficient flow still results in poor tool performance. Bar and PSI Conversions 1 bar ≈ 14.5 PSI Typical shop compressors: 6–7 bar (≈ 90–100 PSI). ...

Flow Ratings and Why They Matter

Flow Ratings and Why They Matter Displacement vs FAD Displacement: Theoretical output. FAD (Free Air Delivery): Real usable air at ISO 1217 conditions. Always use FAD for sizing. Sizing Your Compressor Matching Tools to Capacity Continuous-use tools need higher FAD and larger receivers; intermi...

Understanding Airflow Units

Understanding Airflow Units What Is Airflow and Why It Matters Airflow determines whether your pneumatic tools operate efficiently. Pressure provides force, but without sufficient airflow, tools stall or underperform. CFM, L/min, and m³/min Explained CFM: Cubic Feet per Minute (US standard) L/min: Liters per Minute (metric) m³/min: Cubic Meters per Minute (industrial scale) Conversions: 1 CFM ≈ 28.3 L/m...

Understanding Pressure Dew Point

Understanding Pressure Dew Point What Happens During Compression Air always contains water vapor. When compressed, its temperature rises and its ability to hold water increases. As the air cools after compression, excess vapor condenses. PDP predicts when this condensation will occur under pressure, making it essential for system design and quality control. Why PDP Is Different from Atmospheric Dew Point ...
