With the improvement in the compressed air technology, efficiency of air compressed air and air distribution has improved. Even with such improvement compressed air leakages cannot be avoided. Unfortunately all compressed air system will have leakages and it cannot be eliminated but off course it can be minimized. Identify and prevent air leakages are important …
Condensate removal in compressed air is necessary to operate compressed air system efficiently and keep it working properly. Unwanted water, oil emulsion, dirt and other liquids needs to be removed from the compressed air system. Condensate in compressed air can damage pipelines , instruments receivers and can cause instability of compressed air delivery pressure, in …

Area of Improvement: 2 Nos Lubricated screw air compressor of 1000cfm at 7 barg was being used at plant for compressed air requirement. Observation: Air compressor used for generating compressed air is one of the least energy efficient machines. Most of the energy used in compressed air generation is lost in the form of heat. …
For calculating specific power consumption in compressed air. we need to calculate output of the air compressor. Output of air compressor can be calculated in terms of free air discharge. Let us discuss how to calculate FAD at shop floor Methodology : Calculating free air discharge at shop floor is very easy, we need to …
Before understanding atmospheric and pressure dew point. It is important to understand dew point. Dew point is the temperature at which water vapour contained in a volume of air reaches saturation and condenses to form dew and gets separated from the volume of air. When the dew point temperature is equal to air temperature it …
