Downstream
Key components and concerns typically found downstream in a compressed air system include:
-
Air dryers: To remove moisture and prevent corrosion or damage to downstream equipment.
-
Filters: To remove dirt, oil, and other contaminants from the compressed air.
-
Regulators: To control the pressure of the compressed air as it moves through the system.
-
Air receivers or storage tanks: To store compressed air for later use and help smooth out pressure fluctuations.
-
Piping and distribution systems: To deliver compressed air to various points of use in a facility.
-
Air tools and machinery: The equipment that uses the compressed air for various functions.
-
Maintaining good quality air downstream is crucial to ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the system and preventing damage to sensitive equipment.
