2). What You Need To Know About Compressed Air Systems By : Scott Michaels
Compressed air is used in many operations and processes and as a source of energy for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) and process actuators and motors. It may also be supplied for low pressure systems and used for pneumatic control. Air can be compressed in several different ways and supplied at varying pressures and degrees of filtration depending on its use.

3). Seven steps to selecting the right air cylinder. By : William
What do you need to know to select the right air cylinder from the huge variety available in the industrial marketplace? Here is the answer. How much force do you need to move the object you wish to move? You'll need to know the weight of the object. Consider what the object being moved is sliding and know that this friction is adding to the load.

6). Air Compressors - How To Choose One By : Philip Turner
There are three main types of air compressors. Which you need will depend on the air pressure you need and how portable your compressor needs to be. Reciprocating compressors come in a range from 5 HP to 1000 HP. The smaller compressors are portable, sometimes being mounted on wheels. These may be petrol driven or electrically powered. They compress air by a series of pistons in cylinders.

7). Why does water run out my compressed air line every time I turn the air on? By : Bill Wade
Water. This drives every compressed air user nuts!!! Every time they use an air tool, blow-off gun, or even fill the inflatable air mattress, water appears along with the compressed air. The water is a problem if the compressed air is moving through a tool that can rust or be negatively affected by airborne particles, and, given enough 'fill-ups and empties' a significant amount of water will appear in anything which you inflate or run with compressed air.

8). Is it the valve or is it the cylinder; whichever, it's costing you a lot of money? By : William
Reducing air leaks in your plant can save thousands of dollars annually. Compressed air is one of the most costly forms of energy you can use in your plant, of course, it's one of the most versatile, fast and strong too. When it's "quiet time" in the plant, wander around the machinery and listen. You will often hear the gentle (or perhaps not so gentle) hissing of air escaping from the exhaust port of your air valves.

9). It's FRL on purpose, folks! By : William
FRL is an acronym for Filter, Regulator and Lubricator, devices used to “condition” the compressed air from a compressor before it gets to your application be that through an air valve to air cylinders, powering air tools and so on. When called in to troubleshoot a complaint from a client that their compressed air filter, regulator or lubricator wasn’t working, the first response is to ask the symptoms.

10). What if there's no power - how do I control my pneumatic circuit? By : William
With the advent of the small PLC's (programmable logic controllers), the Logo or the Pico to name just a couple, controlling pneumatic circuits can be achieved with high reliability, low complexity, and at a relatively low cost with one of the currently available, easy to program controllers. That's all well and good for the vast majority of applications that occur in a plant environment that offers electricity.

11). Don't use a needle valve to control your air cylinder speed! By : Bill Wade
Many industrial machines using compressed air as an energy source, use air cylinders or other pneumatic actuators to do the actual work. Compressed air is 'explosive' as it moves from high pressure to low pressure on it's way back to atmosphere. That means when the air valve shifts and air flows to the cylinder, the cylinder piston and rod moves extremely quickly.
