GUIDE TO COMPRESSED AIR

GUIDE TO COMPRESSED AIR

A 17

This guide is to be used as a general introduction to compressed air and its uses.
For specific information you should telephone our help desk on
0161 728 7911

There are a number of terms used in the compressed air industry, below are a few of the most used and a brief explanation of what they mean.

Displacement (Volume)

Free Air Delivered

Pressure

This term is used to decide the theoretical

volume of a compressor, ie the swept
volume of a cylinder multiplied by the
number of compressions in a minute and
expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM).
This figure should not be used in
calculating the size of compressor
required, as it bears no relationship to the
free air figure that you may require.

This measurement is the volume of air

taken in to a compressor and therefore
describes more accurately the volume of
air available for use. Expressed as
CFM/FAD at a given pressure.

This is the way force, ie power, in the

compressed air system is expressed and is
measured in either pounds per square inch
(psi) or bar.
Pressure is important because to have
too low a pressure would cause the
equipment not to work correctly, too high
a pressure would at best rapidly wear out
the equipment, at worst it could make the
equipment lethal.

Remember: Displacement is the theory and

CFM/FAD
is
the
actual
volume
available.

Single Stage Compressors

Two Stage Compressors

Cost of Air Leaks

One or more cylinders producing the final

pressure in one compression.
Normal maximum pressure 150 psi. g.

First Stage:
Air is compressed to approximately
30 psi. g, cooled then compressed to final
pressure in the second stage.
Normal maximum pressure 200 psi. g.
Note:
Two stage provides more air for less energy.

Hissing Sid is at work in most companies

you visit. Hissing Sid is a length of air
hose which has become the family
air loom, it must be, because this hose is
costing its owner a small fortune and yet to
suggest replacement would be a
cardinal sin. So what does Hissing Sid cost
to run ???

Choosing the Right Compressor

Three-phase compressors are more efficient producers of compressed air than
single-phase equivalent units, so where a three-phase supply is
available the best option is the three-phase compressor.
Single-phase compressors up to 2.5 hp can operate from a 240V 13 Amp power
supply, with the exception of the new 3 hp Low Current models. 3.0 hp and
above must operate from a 240V 30 Amp supply. Wherever possible choose a
larger compressor than you require at present to allow for
expansion. Compressors with cast iron cylinders running slow, offer a much
extended service life.
1) Bodyshop - using the air equipment consumption guide, add all the
equipment consumptions together and divide by two, the resulting figure is the
minimum free air you require.
2) Workshop - using the air equipment consumption guide, add all the
equipment consumptions together and divide by three, the resulting figure is
the minimum free air you require.
Note: For calculation purposes always use free air delivered figures.

Correct Hose Selection

A)

N o t e : The figures in the Air Equipment Consumption Table are only a

guide, for additional information please phone our help desk.

An air tool needs the following:

Correct size of compressor to ensure sufficient air
available.
Correct size of air hose to ensure minimal pressure
drop and air flow
Correct pressure at tool (see chart)
Correct type of lubricant (NOT engine oil)
CLEAN DRY AIR!!!
(use filters, regulator, dryer and lubricant)

3 What electricity supply is available? (single/three phase))

4 What size compressor is currently in use? (see calculation guide below)
5 How well does existing compressor cope?
6 What are the future plans for additional staff and equipment?
B) Complete Following List
1 Number of tools and type
2 Number of users
3 Air consumption of largest tool/equipment using air
4 Complete Survey Form
5 Select Compressor from Catalogue (use only free air figures)
Note: Quick guide to CFM/FAD output (approx) of existing compressor
Multiply motor hp by 3.3 = output in CFM / FAD
Multiply motor kW by 4.5 = output in CFM / FAD
Multiply motor kW by 2.1 = output in L/sec / FAD

Note: Always keep hose length as short as practical. eg. 1/2 impact wrench
with 20 metres of 1/4 bore hose will develop less than 40% of its
available power!!
