Important Guidelines For Air Intake Piping Of Air Compressor.

By Prasanna Sutrave

In any Air Compressor,the performance of the Compressor is mostly depends upon the quality of Air which has been sucked by Air Suction Filter Element.The Air Compressor will give best result when a clean air has entered inside the Cylinder.

As it is imperative that the air sucked by Air Compressor should be clean,dry and cool so it is advisable to fit an Air Intake Pipe to be taken towards clean Atmosphere and then mount the Air Suction Filter.

Below are the few Important Guidelines for Air Intake Piping.

01)The Air Intake Pipe should not be locate in the vicinity of any Delivery Pipe Line which is normally hot.It is advisable that the Compressor should sucks
Air as cold as possible.

02)The Air Intake Pipe System should be sized so as to give a Low Pressure Drop.

03)The Velocity of Air through the Intake Pipe Line should be about 400 meter per minute.

04)Avoid unusally long pipe line as it will increase the Resistance to Flow of Air and increase Pressure Drop,thereby resulting in loss of Air Compressor Capacity.

05)It is advisable to use Large Radius Bends which gives Minimum Resistance to Air Flow.

06)Air Intake Pipe should be painted with a Rust preventive from inside to avoid any Rust or Foreign Particles to be sucked inside the Cylinder.

07)At certain critical lengths of intake Pipe Resonance may occure,it is imperative therfore to correctly design the Intake pipe.Specially consider pipe Length and Daimeter to eliminate Resonance.

08)The Air Intake Pipe should be properly supported so that it does not transmit any undue load to the Compressor.

09)To avoid the Viabrations,which may Transmitted to the wall and building ,Intake pipe must not be rigidly attached to walls or ceilings.

10)It is advisable to have independent Air Intake Pipe Lines for each Air Compressor.

You can add to the list,if you know something about the subject.
