What is a compressed air system? A compressed air system moves energy throughout a piping network to power workstations and machinery. We recommend to install the Prevost 100% aluminium pipe system at a minimum height of 2.5 m from the floor. Install smaller diameter «downpipes» or «drops» off the main line to terminate at distribution points throughout the network. We recommend these points to be approximately 1.2 m from the floor. From these points various accessories can be attached (manifolds, safety couplings, filtration, hoses, etc.). SIZING A COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM When designing a system,...

SIZE AN OPEN SYSTEM Pressure: 8 bar | Max. pressure drop 5% (0.4 bar) | Max. speed: 10 m/s Compressor* Power Length of the main line Flow rate Nm3/h Nl/min * These values may vary slightly from compressor data THERMAL EXPANSION As temperatures fluctuate up or down, aluminium naturally expands and contracts. To compensate, we recommend installing equipment along the line to absorb the movement. Use a flexible hose for small diameters Install expansion kits to accommodate large diameters. An expansion hose or joints is necessary when a straight line exceeds 50 meters or more. You can also Use flexible...

SIZE A CLOSED SYSTEM Pressure: 8 bar | Max. pressure drop 5% (0.4 bar) | Max. speed: 10 m/s Compressor* Power Length of the main line Flow rate Nm3/h Nl/min * These values may vary slightly from compressor data EXPANSION COEFFICIENT: 0.024 mm per METRE and per DEGREE °C. EXPANSION IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS: C = COEFFICIENT OF EXPANSION (0.024 mm) L = STRAIGHT LINE LENGTH (m) ∆T° = DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM ROOM TEMPERATURE IN °C. DL = OVERALL EXPANSION (mm) A 20 meter line laid with ø 40 mm piping, at an ambient temperature of 15°C, can be subjected to a maximum temperature of 40°C...

TAPPING FLANGE A tapping flange connects a down pipe (drop) to workstations. It’s purpose is to replace a traditional "gooseneck" configuration and reduce condensates in the line. Flanges transport clean air from the side of the pipe to workstations. Any remaining condensates which remain at the bottom of the pipe are then evacuated via drains located throughout the system. Tapping flanges can quickly integrate into existing systems, no disassembly required. The flange is compact and equipped with an anti-rotation system which securely locks the fitting in place.
