Compressed Air Pipe Systems - Aluminium Alu-Air Compressed Air Series Alu-Air TM By Pneutech COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION Why is good compressed air reticulation important? The compressed air reticulation is the other half of a successful and efficient compressed air set up, and a poorly designed layout can result in air pressure loss, contamination and excessive energy bills, as the air compressor works on overload to compensate for these inefficiencies. Galvanised or black steel pipe and plastic piping systems although products being used in the industry for years, may be costing more than is realised, resulting in excessive power bills and added maintenance costs. Iron, steel piping corrodes internally, unseen but continually building up a crust of rust corrosion, which leads to restriction, and in-turn air pressure drop. Plastic piping is most susceptible to expansion and contraction with climate changes, and even when bracketed correctly, tends to sag and bow, leading to water collection points. Plastic air piping has also been known to explode in below freezing conditions, as common to some areas of Australia. Both steel and plastic piping can be time consuming and therefore costly to install with an abundance of bracketing supports required. 2 PNEUTECH AUSTRALIA 1800 PNEUTECH au.support@ pneutechgroup.com www.pneutechgroup.com.au E & OE
Alu-Air TM By Pneutech COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION Compressed Air Pipe Systems - Aluminium Alu-Air Compressed Air Series Why use Alu Air Compressed Air Piping System? The correct installation of the Alu Air compressed air reticulation system will bring the most effective compressed air transfer to your factory, by increasing the energy efficiency of the air supply, increasing productivity and reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Fast & Easy Installation The new Alu Air aluminium piping can be easily installed in less than half the time required by other piping - and without the need of professional labour. No special tooling is required, no welding and no glue. The aluminium tube is simply cut to length by a handheld tube cutter, and fastened to framing, walls, and concrete by the nylon support brackets. Alu Air aluminium piping can be hung by a single installer, saving on expensive labour charges. Push-on Fittings The piping utilises lightweight and strong nylon push- lock style fittings, which can be disassembled and reused at any point down the track. This means the system can be very simply extended, altered, or completely dismantled as is so often the need with changing compressed air requirements. Rigid with Minimal Support The aluminium piping is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid, requiring less than half the usual supports as needed by equivalent piping systems. The support clips are hinging to allow for accessibility when fixing. No Water Collecting Sags There is no risk of sagging (and resulting water accumulation,) and even in adverse climates this aluminium piping maintains absolute rigidity. Large Energy Savings The smooth internal wall creates very little resistance, reducing pressure drop to an absolute minimum, which increases the air efficiency and leads to significant energy savings, especially with larger compressed air set-ups. ALU AIR Higher Air Flow The thin walled pipe construction makes for very high air flow rates and when compared to poly pipe will transfer up to twice the airflow for the same outside wall diameter.

Compressed Air Pipe Systems - Aluminium Alu-Air Compressed Air Series Rust-Free With a tough anodised coating, the aluminium pipe is good for both interior and exterior use, and unlike black or galvanised pipe will not build up an airrestricting crust of rust over time. Industrial Air Systems s air piping system is available in 20mm up to 63mm sizes and is suited to reticulate air volumes from 20 to 1000cfm. With so many advantages over other air piping the superior new Alu Air reticulation system is rapidly replacing most other forms of piping in 1000 s of installations globally. Why is a Compressed Air Ring Main so important? Compressed air travels to and exits the first point of outlet with the least resistance and so it stands to reason that the air outlet nearest the air source (compressor) will naturally receive the highest flow and pressure, while outlet points further most from the compressor will consequently suffer from pressure drop. A correctly installed ring main or complete piping circuit helps provide an even air pressure and flow to all outlets. Sub-Standard System leads to uneven air flow and pressure at further most outlets Correct Ring Main System for consistent air flow and pressure to all outlets 4 PNEUTECH AUSTRALIA 1800 PNEUTECH au.support@ pneutechgroup.com www.pneutechgroup.com.au E & OE
Alu-Air TM By Pneutech COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION Compressed Air Pipe Systems - Aluminium Alu-Air Compressed Air Series What size pipe is required? The most overlooked area in piping layout and design is the speed at which the compressed air travels. Under sizing the diameter of the pipe system will often lead to increased velocity. High velocity can significantly contribute to: Laminar Flow Turbulent Flow Back pressure Irregular pressure control Turbulence in the system Excessive pressure drop Additional energy and maintenance requirements Alu Air pipe is available in 6 sizes: 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 63mm Every pipe creates a certain resistance to the air flow. This resistance has to do with the inner surface of the pipe, its internal diameter, the flow velocity, and to the overall length of pipe. The pipe sizing chart allows you to determine the correct diameter of the ring main compressed air pipe system. 1. Choose the flow rate of the 2. Choose the distance from the 3.

Alu-Air TM By Pneutech COMPRESSED AIR DISTRIBUTION Air Receivers Most compressed air systems use an air receiver as a storage reservoir to reduce the frequency of compressor starts thereby saving energy and prolonging the life of the compressor. Air receivers can also be used to balance the supply of compressed air to the pipe system thus eliminating fluctuations in the operation of air operated equipment. An air receiver placed in a location remote from the compressor can also eliminate pressure drops due to pipe friction, especially where intermittent periods of high air demand are involved.
