Pneumatics: Processing Air

About

This course is one in a series which provides an excellent introduction to the transfer, control and use of energy contained in compressed and flowing air. Fundamental topics covered in this one in an eight-part series include compressed air power, circuitry, air processing, valves, safety, maintenance and troubleshooting.

The components that compress, store, treat, distribute and process air are vital to efficient pneumatic system operation. Air tools and other actuators will not operate effectively or safely unless the compressed air is properly conditioned. This informative course discusses the basic structure and operation of pneumatic compressors, air storage and treatment components, and air distribution systems. Topics covered include:

-Compressors
-Single stage
-Multi-stage and dynamic
-Pressure and flow rate capacities
-Sustaining compression
-Air storage
-Tank accessories
-Air sustaining components
-Branch and loop systems
