Energy Saving in Industrial Processes Using Modern Data Acquisition

One of the most effective industrial processes improving technologies are model predictive control, neuron networks, and soft sensors technologies. Technologically advanced manufacturing companies, which use innovative processes management and monitoring systems, achieve 20-30% lower production costs than those of similar plants in which such systems are not used. The idea of this work is to evaluate the potential of cognitive industrial processes management systems in order to optimize the company's activities in increasing energy efficiency and resource conservation. For this purpose are used advanced methods of data analysis and collection, monitoring, control systems. Process optimization contains following steps: Data aquision can be realized using different techniques. The most used method for data aquision is to use hardware sensors. This is the simplest way to monitor process if there is no any monitoring system. If data aquision system (example SCADA) is already insta

Benefits of Compressed Air Tools

The trouble with hand tools is battery life. Good, but unless you have at least two spare batteries in rotation, you are not going to use them effectively or efficiently. The trouble with power tools is safety. On site the plethora of cables is always an issue and at home, many a sturdy DIYer has been taken by surprise at just how powerful a power tool can be. So what else is there? Air tools , that's the answer. Tools that use compressed air as their power source. Tools that do not wrap the site in cables, or pose health hazards through overheating and frayed cables, tools that provide the same level of power and efficiency every time you need them. Safe, compliant, and easy to use, compresses air equipment tools meet all you're on site or at home requirements. And whatever you are doing, there is a compresses air equipment tool that meets your needs. If you need high power for your workshop, then there is a range of industrial lubricated and non-lubricated compresso

Beginning of Air Compressors

The first air compressors created were not machines , like many people may think. In fact they were actually people themselves. Humans used their lungs to blow oxygen onto fires, thus creating the first air compressors. The air compressors we know today are both stronger and more efficient. A healthy pair of human lungs can produce.02 to.08 bar, where one bar equals 14.5 pounds per square inch. Around 3,000 BC metallurgy had made its day view, and humans had turned over a new leaf in air compressors. As metals were melted down, higher temperatures were needed, which lead to a need for more powerful compressors. Hand held bellows were soon created and in the 1,500 BC era foot bellows began to be produced. For 2,000 years bellows driven by foot were the primary choice when it came to compressed air. Soon blast furnaces were developed, which lead to John Smeaton 's design of a water wheel-driven blowing cylinder in 1762. Hand held and foot operated bellows become obsolete, and the

How Does an Air Compressor Work?

Air compressors are essential mechanical equipment for homeowners (air conditioners and refrigerators), commercial businesses, jet engines, refining industries, manufacturing and automotive industries. In reality, air compressors have been utilized in industries in more than a century. It is a multi-talented device utilized to supply the compressed air and/or power in a specified space. It is being used in any purpose which requires air in decreased volume or increased force. They are are obtainable in several types, which are produced to meet dissimilar requirements. Each type may vary in chilling method, compression stages, power source and lubrication. The following are three main types of air compressors: Reciprocating (Piston) Air Compressor - uses piston in compressing air and keeping in storage tank. Based on the quantity of compression stages, this type may be single-stage or double-stage. In a single stage, one piston is utilized in compressing air, whereas in the doubl

Compressed Air Can - Why Do You Need It?

Modern time is the time of electronic appliances and gadgets. In order to assure their long term use, they should not only be used with much care but also be cleaned in the best way to guarantee permanent usage. Compressed air can is a can that is used to remove the dust and dirt which settles down into closed and open areas of any type of machines and devices. The can contains gasses which have been compressed in a way that they turn into liquid. The liquid, then comes out of the can which has a nozzle to permit it passing out, and reaches out even for the hard to reach places to clean the surface of electric appliances. It is an ideal choice to clean your equipment with cans rather than with water. Most of this electric equipment is so sensitive that if cleaned by using water, they can damage the tools and equipment. Most of these cans are available in packages which include several accessories such as refill, which will match the size of the can you are buying, nozzles and dispos

The Use of Compressed Air in Industry

Although it is perhaps not one of the better known 'tools of the trade', it may come as a surprise to many people, how wide the use of the industrial air compressor is in a wide variety of industries. From the health sector to mining, industrial air compressors are playing an increasingly important role in industry. Whilst this may surprise some, there are a good many reasons why this is the case. Compressed air is easy to store and is usually contained in large tanks, taking up little room in a factory or yard. Compressed air can be especially useful, and important, in an environment that is potentially hazardous; a good example of this is in the mining industry, where the use of electrical machinery could ignite explosive gases, causing injury or even loss of life. As they expel only pure compressed air, there are no toxic fumes or other chemicals to be concerned about either, which is one of the more obvious appeals to the health sector. Before buying an industrial ai

Understanding Compressed Air Systems

In this day and age, it's difficult to find a manufacturing or construction business that does not use industrial compressors regularly in their daily routine. The key advantage of air compressors is that they can take the potential energy that builds up when a gas such as atmospheric air is placed under pressure and quickly convert it to kinetic energy. That energy can be used to drive small power tools such as impact wrenches or nail guns. Larger compressors are used in manufacturing when a large amount of torque needs to be applied. Most importantly, compressors are quite reliable and don't require extensive maintenance. Basic Components of Compressors compressors are similar to small internal combustion engines since they consist of a piston, a cylinder, and a connecting rod that is attached to a crankshaft. The crankshaft is driven externally, either by an electric or gas motor to rotate the shaft and move the piston up or down. The top of the piston cylinder has a valv
