Compressed air is the second-largest source of power, with a wide range of applications across industries such as painting, food processing, electricity, chemicals, machinery, instruments, textiles, chemical fibers, ceramics, and electronics. Virtually all manufacturing sectors require the use of compressed air. The compressed air pipeline is an essential component of the air compressor system. Here are some key points to consider when installing the pipeline, based on experience:
During piping installation, the main pipeline must have a slight slope to facilitate the drainage of condensate within the pipes. The pipeline should be equipped with a drain valve and be drained regularly.
b. The pressure in the piping system must not exceed 5% of the compressor's set pressure; therefore, a larger pipe diameter is chosen during piping installation.
c. The pipeline should be kept as short and straight as possible, and the use of elbows and various valves should be minimized to reduce pressure loss.
d. Branch lines must be connected at the top of the main line to prevent condensate from the main line from flowing into the compressor unit along the pipeline.
e. Do not arbitrarily shrink or expand the pipeline supervisor; if it is necessary to do so, it must be accompanied by a gradual reduction tube. Otherwise, it may be mistakenly thought that the increase in pressure leads to significant pressure loss; at the same time, the lifespan of the pipeline will be greatly shortened due to the impact pressure of the gas.
