Air compressors and compressed air distribution systems are used in many places including home workshops, auto body shops, and manufacturing plants. They can be used to inflate tires, remove wood chips, and power nail guns and other tools. Of course, no matter the application, it's important for the...
An air compressor is a tool that is extremely necessary to have in an industrial setting. The air compressor is responsible for converting power into potential energy. Air compressors can do anything from speeding up a nail or staple gun project to inflating numerous items. There are so man...
There's no question that compressed air piping design is important. Considering that almost 70% of manufacturers make use of these systems, it's important that each one serves its purpose and does it well. If you're one of those facility owners who rely on air compressor piping and you&#...
Having a compressed air distribution system is common for businesses that need powerful tools to allow workers to do their jobs. A properly maintained and installed system can be a work of art, with heat recovery units recovering 50% to 90% of their heat, and having amazing energy efficiency. Both o...
When designing a new facility, many neglect to realize that the compressor room's temperature can be exceedingly difficult to monitor. Oftentimes, the compressed air distribution system ends of being built wherever there is space left. However, as much as 80 to 90% of the electrical energy used by a...
It's no secret that air compressor systems are expensive. Unfortunately, their repairs can be just as, if not more, expensive as buying a new one. A single compressed air system leak can cost more than $1,200 per year, even on something as small as a 1/8 inch diameter hole. So, to avoid these proble...
Nearly 70% of all manufacturers have some form of air compression system installed somewhere in their facilities. They could be used for all manner of things, mostly to assist in production, but one fact always remains the same: air compressors are loud. Incredibly loud. Loud things can be a...
Air compressor units convert power from mechanical sources into potential energy and then store that energy in air compressor pipes. It pushes more and more air into the compressor tubes and increases pressure until it's at the maximum level. This energy can be used for a lot of things, but somewhe...
What is wrong with Black pipe when it comes to compressed air delivery? It's cheaper, it's more readily available, it's fairly inexpensive, and it's durable, so why should I not use black pipe for my compressed air installation? Black pipe or galvanized steel pipe makes a great affordabl...
Air compressors have made their way into workshops, homes, businesses, and factories due to their many uses. The reason for it's popularity is due to air power; each tool doesn't need its' own bulky motor. Depending on what it's needed for, air power makes for a very light, compact, and easy to hand...
