CAGI Rotary Compressor Performance Verification Program: Ensuring Reliable, Efficient Operation

The following is an excerpt from the article Guidelines for Designing a Compressed Air System by Deepak Vetal, product marketing manager for oil-free screw and centrifugal compressors at Atlas Copco. The full version can be read online.  There are various factors to consider when designing a co

All atmospheric air contains water vapor, but as air is being compressed, the relative humidity of water increases to 100%. To avoid problems caused by water precipitation in pipes and connected downstream equipment, compressed air must be dried. Here are some methods for drying compressed air: Over

Compressed air is an increasingly common utility in workspaces around the world from factories to construction sites. Although it may seem easy to operate, compressed air can become dangerous if used incorrectly. Here’s what you need to know when it comes to safe operation. Compressed air safety tip

Have you looked at your manufacturing facility’s energy bill recently? If you have, chances are you’ve noticed that compressed air accounts for roughly 40% of the total bill – a large percentage that, if you’re not careful, can easily overwhelm your wallet. Add this to the fact that over the compre
