With the widespread application of compressed air, compressed air systems have become a necessity for an increasing number of industries. This article provides a brief overview of the specific requirements for compressed air systems across various sectors.
Electric Power Industry
Main Applications: Instrument air systems for gauges, ash removal air systems, general factory use air systems; water treatment including boiler make-up water treatment and industrial wastewater treatment systems; also, equipment power air systems in hydropower plants.
Main Applications: The cotton spinning industry primarily uses clean compressed air as a power source, with specific requirements for oil content. The synthetic fiber industry mainly utilizes instrument and drawing gas, while dyeing and printing industries mainly employ power and instrument gas.
Light Industry Sector
1. Food & Beverage: Gas sources for non-contact, indirect contact, and direct contact applications. Can be provided by scroll compressors, such as for cleaning cans and beverage bottles; Direct contact: such as raw material mixing, fermentation, etc., with strict requirements for oil content and necessitating odor removal treatment of the compressed air.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Non-contact primarily involves pneumatic actuators and instrumentation, with direct contact being due to high and stable gas flow rates, and the requirement for air quality. Centrifugal compressors are generally used; if the gas volume is not significant, options include a scroll compressor with a post-processor or oil-free screw compressors.
3. Cigarette Industry: Compressed air is the primary power source aside from electricity, commonly used in equipment such as needle roller machines, cigarette rolling, joining, and packaging, as well as for instruments, power execution, and equipment cleaning.
4. Rubber and Plastic Products: Primarily used for power execution and gauge air, plastics are also utilized in blowing processes.
Metallurgy Industry
The metallurgical industry is divided into the iron and steel industry and the non-ferrous metal smelting and manufacturing industry.
Steel Industry: Primarily focuses on power execution, instrument air, and purge instruments.
2. Non-ferrous metal smelting and manufacturing: Primarily used for power execution, instrument gas, and spraying.
Transportation Industry
The application of pneumatic devices is widespread, including train brakes, track switchers, vehicle door and window opening and closing, automated subway controls, ship automation equipment, aircraft maintenance, air cushion vehicles' inflation, and port loading and unloading conveyors, etc.
Aerospace Industry
The pneumatic device, capable of withstanding radiation and high temperatures, as well as rapid acceleration, has been increasingly widely used in the control systems of modern aircraft, rockets, and missiles.
Chemical Company
The company's products have been extensively applied in the transportation of chemical raw materials, packaging for hazardous liquid filling, automatic control devices for torpedoes, automated equipment for warships, and equipment for oil drilling and extraction.
Electronics, Experimental, and Instrumentation Industries
The production, testing, and control of instruments for some precision electronic products play a significant role.
Other Industries
Automotive repairs, airports, large amusement parks, and more.
