Using compressed air as a power adder (supercharger) is in vogue again! Younger readers may be wondering what we mean by this and argue that forcing super-cold, highly pressurized air into an engine’s ...

Pressure regulators, more commonly known as pressure-reducing valves, keep the output pressure constant in compressed-air systems no matter how the input pressure or output flow changes. They contain ...

Central controllers are the backbone of an optimised compressor installation, managing the whole compressor room, matching the air supply to demand while offering pressure stability, and contributing ...

My love affair with compressed air started a number of years ago when I got an entry level oil-less air compressor for Christmas. Looking like a bloated red fire hydrant lying on its side, it made a ...

How can an 8%-10% efficient utility be Green? The answer is that it can't, but improvements to Compressed Air Systems represent the single largest opportunity to reduce carbon emissions by reducing ...

Treating compressed air as a design element is the key to unlocking the next generation of manufacturing innovation.

Compressed air isn’t really a practical form of energy storage for headline uses like transport or heating, but it’s a fun thing to tinker with at the small scale. [Tom Stanton] is plenty experienced ...
