1. Piping network THE PIPING SYSTEMS

2. Compressor room Flexibles Isolating valves Bucled main ring Global piping network design Inlet and Main drain Air drops Adapted tank

3. Compressor room Global piping network design Compressor room should be : Large for an easy maintenance : Insulated and with a good aeration Flexibles will allow to : Move easily the different machines : Stop vibrations transmission Flexibles

4. Global piping network design Tank will be well adapted : Compressor flow in L/mn : 3 = tank volume in liters Main drain and valve : Drain can be at the tank or down the ring inlet : Will eliminate the first condensates before coming in the piping Main drain Adapted tank

5. Global piping network design Buckled main ring : Better flow at any point of the network : Pression is equal all along the pipe. Bucled main ring Isolating valves : Allow a ring portion isolation for maintenance or modifications Isolating valves

6. Global piping network design Air drops : Adapted diameter (20 mm is advised) : A good number of drops will avoid too many flexibles on the floor. Air drops

7. Piping network calculation Pipe diameter (mm*) Line lenght CV x 7 = M3/h KW x 10 = M3/h 1) Flow calculation : 2) Pipe lenght : Mesure the maximum lenght between the air inlet and the furthest air drop. 3) Pipe diameter : (*) SCFM x 1,7 = m3/h

8. The mounting 1) Wall supports : Each 3 meters 2) Main line : Don ’t forget expansion flexibles for lenght more than 40 - 50 m 3) Drops : Blow chips before mounting the couplers or others accessories Wall supports Expansion flexibles
