Course content

1 section • 7 lectures • 40m total length

  • INTRODUCTION2:14

    Explore the main components of a compressed air system and core terms like standard cubic feet per minute, free air delivery, and actual vs standard flow.

  • COMPRESSORS8:21

    Explore positive displacement compressors versus dynamic types, focusing on reciprocating and rotary designs, oil-free and oil-injected screws, piston configurations, surging, and DEN and ISO 8573-1 air quality classes.

  • DRYERS5:34

    Define maximum, absolute, and relative humidity and explain pressure dew point for dryer selection. Compare refrigerant and adsorption dryers, highlighting pressure dew point values, economical refrigeration, and pressure loss.

  • ARRANGEMENTS4:54

    Explain the dryer arrangement relative to the compressor and air receiver, noting benefits and drawbacks of drying before and after the receiver, plus pulsating flow, condensate handling, and ventilation considerations.

  • AIR RECEIVERS , PIPING , FILTERS AND OUTLETS7:35

    Explore how compressed air receivers store air and damp pulsations, draining condensate with automatic drains. Compare galvanized and stainless steel options and how piping, filtration, outlets, PRV, gauges ensure reliability.

  • ENERGY SAVING AND RECOVERY3:40

    Learn how energy recovery from compressed air heat is used with heat exchangers to heat air or water, and how variable speed drives boost efficiency through load sharing.

  • EQUIPMENT CONSUMPTION , SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM AND CALCULATION TEMPLATE8:10

    Assess outlet consumption for automatic versus general devices using diversity and sequencing factors, and apply a calculation template for flow, pressure, and pipe sizing in a closed-loop compressed air system.

Requirements

  • WELL KNOWN WITH PLUMBING SYSTEMS

Description

compressed air supply system , is main essential system which is commonly used for medical and industrial application , as most of the equipment through the industrial processes are through compressed air operated equipment.

Compression process consumes a lot of energy and reject a lot of heat loss too , so it essential to create the design of the compressed air system based on calculated parameters to get an efficient system.

Compressed air system shall be accompanied with energy recovery system and variable speed drive to utilize all the available energy consumed , which increase the system efficiency.

For medical application , types of compressors , dryers and filters , even receiver and piping shall be well selected for matching the required parameters for hygienic systems.

Compressor room shall be selected and arranged with technical consideration as the ambient inside the room has a great effect on the compressor efficiency , performance and electrical consumption , accordingly compressor room shall be well ventilated through proper ventilation system considering the rejected heat load from the compressors to keep the ambient at the room within the accepted ranges for reliable operation.

surge is a critical phenomena that needs to be avoided through selecting the compressor and through the operating point of the compressor , as it is directly affect the performance and the compressor life time as well.
