Limitations
Precise actuator control and precise positioning control is not possible
(Because of high compressibility).
Can be only applied for low pressure applications.
Charle’s law
a law stating that the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is directly
proportional to the absolute temperature. V1T2=V2T1
Gay Lussac’s law
when volume is held constant, the pressure of an ideal gas is directly
proportional to its temperature. P1T2=P2T1

Symbol for compressor Fluid Conditioners
Air filter, pressure regulator and lubricator are now built as
packaged combination known as service units.
Other than the impurities that might be entrained with the intake air
and delivered by the compressor air might pick up contaminants
such as dust, scale or rust particles in the distribution main leading to
the take-off point.
Provided that air main has been properly installed, the major part of
these impurities will collect in the condensate drain tanks.

Air Filter
• Air enters the inlet port of the air filter through angled louvers
• air to spin
• centrifugal action
• baffle prevents turbulent air from splashing water
• 5-50 microns
• The pressure difference between inlet and outlet will indicate the degree
to which the filter element is clogged.
• Commercially available filters have many additional features like
automatic drain facility, coalescing type filter element, service life
indicator etc.

The cooled compressed air is then filtered to remove from it the The hollow fibres constitute a membrane layer specially designed to

and process applications. The permeated water vapour is then swept away by a small amount of dry
air fed back along the length of the membrane fibre through a purging
valve.

The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in
you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau,
sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.
