Compressed air is a gas or combination of gases that has been pressurized above atmospheric pressure. Compressed air systems consist mainly of air compressors which account for significant electricity use in industries. Only 10-30% of energy from the compressor reaches the point of use, with the rest lost as heat. Compressors are classified as positive displacement or dynamic, with positive displacement compressors like reciprocating and rotary types being most common. Compressed air systems provide advantages like being easily transported through piping networks, stored in tanks to even out pressure fluctuations, and powering simple and robust pneumatic tools and equipment.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. INTRODUCTION
• What is compressed air ?
• Compressed air is a gas, or a combination of gases, that has been put under
greater pressure than the air in the general environment
• compressed air are numerous and diverse, including jackhammers, tire pumps,
air rifles, and aerosol . According to proponents, compressed air also has a great
deal of potential as a clean, inexpensive, and infinitely renewable energy source.
Its use is currently being explored as an alternative to fossil fuels.
3. COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
• Compressed air system mainly consists of air compressors which account for
significant amount of electricity used in Indian industries. Air compressors are
used in a variety of industries to supply process requirements, to operate
pneumatic tools and equipment, and to meet instrumentation needs. Only 10-
30% of energy reaches the point of end-use, and balance 70-90% of energy of the
power of the prime mover being converted to unusable heat energy and to a
lesser extent lost in form of friction, misuse and noise.
4.
5. Compressor Types
• Compressors are broadly classified as: Positive displacement compressor and
Dynamic compressor. Positive displacement compressors increase the pressure of
the gas by reducing the volume. Positive displacement compressors are further
classified as reciprocating and rotary compressors. Dynamic compressors increase
the air velocity, which is then converted to increased pressure at the outlet.
Dynamic compressors are basically centrifugal compressors and are further
classified as radial and axial flow types
6.
7. Positive displacement compressor
Reciprocating compressors are the most widely used type for air
compression. They are characterized by a flow output that remains
nearly constant over a range of discharge pressures. Also, the
compressor capacity is directly proportional to the speed. The output,
however, is a pulsating one
Reciprocating compressors are available in many configurations, the
four most widely used of which are horizontal, vertical, horizontal
balance-opposed and tandem. Vertical type reciprocating compressors
are used in the capacity range of 50 – 150 cfm. Horizontal balance
opposed compressors are used in the capacity range of 200 – 5000 cfm
in multi-stage design and up to 10,000 cfm in single stage design
8. • Rotary Compressors
Rotary compressors have rotors in place of
pistons and give a continuous, pulsation free
discharge air. They are directly coupled to the
prime mover and require lower starting torque as
compared to reciprocating machine. They
operate at high speed and generally provide
higher throughput than reciprocating
compressors. Also they require smaller
foundations, vibrate less, and have a lower
number of parts - which means less failure rate.
Among rotary compressor, the Roots blower
(also called as lobe compressor) and screw
compressors are among the most widely used.
The roots blower is essentially a low-pressure
blower and is limited to a discharge pressure of
1 bar in single-stage design and up to 2.2 bar in
two stage design. The most common rotary air
compressor is the single stage
9. Dynamic Compressors
• Dynamic compressors are mainly centrifugal
compressors and operate on similar principles to
centrifugal pump. These compressors have appreciably
different characteristics as compared to reciprocating
machines. A small change in compression ratio
produces a marked change in compressor output and
efficiency. Centrifugal machines are better suited for
applications requiring very high capacities, typically
above 12,000 cfm. The centrifugal air compressor
depends on transfer of energy from a rotating impeller
to the air. The rotor accomplishes this by changing the
momentum and pressure of the air. This momentum is
converted to useful pressure by slowing the air down
in a stationary diffuser. The centrifugal air compressor
is an oil free compressor by design. The oil-lubricated
running gear is separated from the air by shaft seals
and atmospheric vents. The centrifugal is a continuous
duty compressor, with few moving parts, and is
particularly suited to high volume applications,
especially where oil free air is required.
10. Compressed Air System Components
1. Intake Air Filters: Prevent dust from entering compressor; Dust causes sticking
valves, scoured cylinders, excessive wear etc
11. 2 Inter-stage Coolers: Reduce the temperature of the air before it enters the next
stage to reduce the work of compression and increase efficiency. They are normally
water-cooled.
12. 3. After Coolers: The objective is to remove the moisture in the air by reducing the
temperature in a water-cooled heat exchanger.
13. 4. Air-dryers: The remaining traces of moisture after after-cooler are
removed using air dryers, as air for instrument and pneumatic
equipment has to be relatively free of any moisture. The moisture is
removed by using adsorbents like silica gel /activated carbon, or
refrigerant dryers, or heat of compression dryers.
14. 5. Moisture Drain Traps: Moisture drain traps are used for removal of moisture in
the compressed air. These traps resemble steam traps. Various types of traps used are
manual drain cocks, timer based / automatic drain valves etc.
15. 6. Receivers: Air receivers are provided as storage and smoothening pulsating air
output - reducing pressure variations from the compressor
17. Energy Efficiency in Compressed Air System
1. Ensure air intake to compressor is not warm and humid by locating
compressors in well-ventilated area or by drawing cold air from outside. Every
40 C rise in air inlet temperature will increase power consumption by 1
percent.
2. Clean air-inlet filters regularly. Compressor efficiency will be reduced by 2
percent for every 250 mm WC pressure drop across the filter.
3. Keep compressor valves in good condition by removing and inspecting once
every six months. Worn-out valves can reduce compressor efficiency by as
much as 50 percent.
4. Install manometers across the filter and monitor the pressure drop as a guide
to replacement of element.
18. 5. Minimize low-load compressor operation; if air demand is less than 50 percent
of compressor capacity, consider change over to a smaller compressor or reduce
compressor speed appropriately (by reducing motor pulley size) in case of belt
driven compressors.
6. Consider the use of regenerative air dryers, which uses the heat of compressed
air to remove moisture.
7. Fouled inter-coolers reduce compressor efficiency and cause more water
condensation in air receivers and distribution lines resulting in increased
corrosion. Periodic cleaning of inter-coolers must be ensured.
8. Compressor free air delivery test (FAD) must be done periodically to check the
present operating capacity against its design capacity and corrective steps must
be taken if required.
19. ADVANTAGES OF COMPRESSED AIR NETWORK
Easily transported
• Air is available everywhere, and there is
plenty of it. Since outlet air escapes into the
open, there is no need for return lines.
Electrical and hydraulic systems need a
return line to the source.
• Compressed air can be transported over great
distances in pipelines. This allows the
installation of central generation stations that
can supply points of consumption via ring
mains with a constant working pressure. The
energy stored in compressed air can be
widely distributed in this way.
20. Easily stored
• It is easy to store compressed air in purpose-
built tanks. If there is a storage tank
integrated in a pneumatic network, the
compressor only needs to work when the
pressure drops below a critical level. And
because there is always a cushion of pressure,
a work cycle can be completed even if the
power network fails.
• Transportable compressed air bottles can also
be used at locations where there is no pipe
system (e.g., under water).
21. Lightweight
• Pneumatic devices are usually much
lighter than comparable equipment and
machinery with electrical power units.
This makes a big difference with
manual and percussion tools
(pneumatic screwdrivers and
hammers).
22. Simple
• The design and operation of pneumatic
equipment is very simple. For this
reason it is very robust and not
susceptible to malfunctioning.
• Pneumatic components are easy to
install and can be re-used later without
difficulty. Installation times are short
because of the simple design. The
fitters require no expensive special
training.
• Straight-line movements can be
executed without extra mechanical
parts such as levers, cams, eccentric
disks, screw spindles
