  • 3. Pneumatic Tools and Equipment
    Pneumatic Tools Introduction Pneumatics refers to technology dealing with the application of pressurized gas (potential energy) to produce mechanical motion (kinetic energy). Pneumatic systems used in the fire/rescue service primarily use compressed gas as the source of power. There are a variety of pneumatic tools used in the fire/rescue service, each with a specific function. While some of these tools were developed specifically for rescue, many are simply borrowed from other industries, such as the automotive repair industry. All of the components of a pneumatic tool setup will be discussed in this module, starting with the air source and working downstream to the actual tool. Air Sources The key component to any pneumatic tool or airbag operation is compressed air. Compressed air can be obtained from a variety of sources on a rescue incident: Air Compressors Air compressors provide an unlimited supply of air. The most common type is the positive- displacement compressor that uses a reciprocating piston. (Other types that utilize impellers or rotary screws do exist.) The piston air compressor has components similar to an internal combustion engine: a crankshaft, connecting rod and piston, cylinder and a valve head. Typical compressors come in 1- or 2- cylinder versions and can be single- or two- stage. The compressor supplies a storage tank. When needed, air is drawn from the tank and the compressor replenishes it. Air compressors stop supplying the storage tank when pressure inside the tank reaches a specified limit. When air is consumed and the pressure in the storage tank drops below a certain level, the compressor starts up again.

  • Compressed Air Production (Compressors)
    Compressed Air Production (Compressors) Chapter2 Compressed Air & Gas Handbook n Seventh Edition November 2018 Compressed Air Production (Compressors) There are many different types of compressors, and their applications are numerous. Chapter The Compressed Air Production (Compressors) chapter of the Compressed Air 2 and Gas Handbook covers the various types of compressors and the different technologies that are used in industry. The diagram below (Fig. 2.1) shows the two main types of compressor technologies: positive displacement and dynamic, as well as the types of compressors that use these technologies. This chapter provides an overview of rotary, reciprocating, and dynamic compressors, and addresses both stationary and portable compressors. The chapter first discusses the various rotary positive displacement compressors, such as screw, vane, lobe, scroll, and liquid ring compressors, describing principles of operation and application in packages. The section on portable compressors provides the history, capabilities, and applications for these types of compressors. The section on reciprocating compressors covers the common components that make up a reciprocating compressor pump and package. The section on dynamic compressors provides information on compressed air uses, sizing considerations, and the characteristics of centrifugal compressors. Figure 2.1: Diagram of Compressor Technologies. © 2018 CAGI 1 OIL INJECTED ROTARY SCREW COMPRESSORS The oil injected rotary screw compressor is commonly driven by an electric motor, hydraulic motor, diesel engine, or natural gas engine and it is used in a wide variety of industrial, mining, construction and energy exploration applications. The stationary version is characterized by low vibration, requiring only a simple load bearing foundation and providing long life with minimal maintenance in broad ranges of capacity and pressure.

  • Air Compressor Selection & Application
    Air Compressor Selection & Application ¼ through 30 HP YEARS OF INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP Preface The purpose of this publication is to help users understand the basics of compressed air as a power source and to provide initial technical guidance for selecting the right air compressor for specific applications. The central focus is on packaged complete unit air compressors, most commonly used in sizes 30 horsepower and below as measured according to standards for continuous duty compressors. Content has been provided by members of the Reciprocating Compressor and Rotary Positive Compressor Sections. Products within the scope of these sections are most frequently used for general purpose industrial air supply, but they also find use in off-shore drilling, construction jobs, locomotives, ships, mining and other specialized applications.

  • Energy Conservation Standards for Air Compressors
    This document, concerning compressors is an action issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Though it is not intended or expected, should any discrepancy occur between the document posted here and the document published in the Federal Register, the Federal Register publication controls. The text of this rule is subject to correction based on the identification of errors as defined in 10 CFR 430.5 before publication in the Federal Register. Readers are requested to notify DOE by email at [email protected] of any typographical or other errors, as described in such regulations, by no later than midnight on January 19, 2017, in order that DOE may make any necessary corrections in the regulatory text submitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication. [6450-01-P] DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 10 CFR Parts 429 and 431 [Docket Number EERE-2013-BT-STD-0040] RIN 1904-AC83 Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Air Compressors AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (“EPCA”), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment. EPCA also authorizes DOE to establish standards for certain other types of industrial equipment, including air compressors. Such standards must be technologically feasible and economically justified, and must save a significant amount of energy. In this final rule, DOE is adopting new energy conservation standards for air compressors. It has determined that the adopted energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
