3 A typical 100 scfm (50. dm3/sec) compressor will push 1200 gallons (4500 liters) of water and 2 gallons (8 liters) of degraded compressor oil into the system in a year along with considerable amounts of dirt particles. Before this air can be used it needs to be treated to remove the contaminants, have its pressure reduced to the right level, and in many cases have oil added to lubricate downstream equipment.

Compressed Air Systems Norgren knowledge APPLICATIONS General Pneumatic Circuits: The following section shows several typical systems eg: directional control valves and cylinders, in and Products save of a generic type and the equipment normally used multi-valve circuits, machine cleaning, air motors you money for the application.

The process of air Multiple Simple Applications: Preparation has been at eg: OEM machines. the core of Norgren 's business for over 70 It is often a case that with fairly simple years. The aim of this machines, lubricated air is required for valving and booklet is to offer pneumatic circuitry and oil-free air for air bearings. guidance on the correct, To keep costs low two separate lines are economic and safe unnecessary and a typical arrangement from one air treatment of compressed supply only can be arranged as shown. air in industrial Other elements such as pressure switches applications.

Compressed Air Systems Oil-Free Applications: Critical Pressure Control (Instrumentation): Continuous Processes eg paint spraying, foodstuffs, film processing, eg: precision regulation, fluidic systems, air powders. gauging, process control. Another facet of Norgren 's Olympian Plus is the ability to make duplex systems. This is invaluable These applications need to be free from A typical arrangement is shown, where oil for systems which cannot be shut-down, such as any water deposits in the downstream system. For aerosols which can prevent fast response of continuous process plant.

A typical arrangement would be as figure 26 and in some instances it might be worth considering an oil vapour removal filter too. (Figure 4). Figure 4.

In such applications large amounts of (Figure 7). lubricant are required for effective lubrication. Again a soft start/dump valve is shown but is dependent upon the application. (Figure 5). Figure 7.
