    Here are the key steps to solve this problem: 1. Calculate the total equivalent pipe length including elbows: - Pipe length: 23 m - Number of elbows: 8 - Equivalent length of each elbow with bend diameter equal to pipe ID: 1.3 x pipe diameter = 1.3 x 0.08 = 0.104 m - Total equivalent length = Pipe length + Number of elbows x Equivalent elbow length = 23 + 8 x 0.104 = 23 + 0.832 = 33.4 m 2. Calculate the velocity in the pipe: - Flow rate: 140 l/s - Pipe cross sectional area for ID of 80 mm: π x

    High efficiency filters Replaceable element, typical filtration to 0.01um, oil to 0.

    01 mg/m3 Activated carbon filters Designed for oil removal to <0.01 mg/m3 General purpose filters Replaceable element, typical filtration to 1um, oil to 0.1 mg/m3 Refrigerant Low energy and capital cost provide pressure dewpoints to +3oC

    Correct Pipe Sizing The maximum design velocity for main distribution pipework is 6m/s For short branch lines the velocity can be up to 15m/s Pressure drop across distribution system should be less than 0.2 bar Consider low friction aluminium or plastic piping systems

    Points to consider when dealing with piping: Horizontal lengths of distribution piping should be sloped slightly downwards, with provision for moisture drainage. When designing a compressed air system, it is often a good practice to add 30% to the expected air flow (to add for future potential system expansion), and then select the pipe diameter having the lowest pressure
    drop.

    If possible it is good practice to loop the distribution piping in order to allow for air to travel in multiple directions, as illustrated in Figure 17. A single loop of pipe can reduce pressure differential by 75% compared to a single pipe of similar size. Multiple loops can further enhance the flow of air.

    The size of an air receiver can be calculated as follows:

    reciprocating compressors the rule of thumb for sizing a primary air receiver, has been from 1 gallon per cfm to 3 gallons per cfm of compressor capacity Primary air receivers As a rule of thumb, for load/unload operated lubricated screw compressors, the receiver volume should be 5 to 10 US gallons (20-40 liters) per trim compressor scfm output. Other factors come into play when sizing, such as the type of air compressor method of capacity control and compressor starting delays. Secondary receivers Generally a receiver of about 110 US gallons (415 l) will store 1 cubic foot of compressed air per psi. Required receiver size for any application is simply the cubic feet required multiplied by 110, and then divided by the pressure range. Example 2 - Determining Size of Air Receiver A clamp using 2 cfm needs a check valve protected storage receiver to maintain at least 85 psi for 2 minutes in a system that normally operates at 100 psi. Cubic feet required = 2 cfm 2 minutes = 4 cubic feet Pressure (psi) range during even = 100 - - 85 = 15 Storage receiver required 4 110/15 = 29 gallons (US) Example 3 - Transient Load Receiver Sizing A large transient sand blasting operation requiring 100 cfm occurs for 1 minute every 10 minutes. The blaster needs 80 psi and the system pressure is 100 psi. Without a secondary receiver, the main air system must supply this full flow, often with a significant pressure differential across the system. The alternative is to use a secondary storage receiver with the inlet

    restricted by an orifice or needle valve. 100 cfm x 1 minute = 100 cubic feet Pressure (psi) range = 20 Storage receiver required = 100 cubic feet 110/20 psi= 550 gallons (US) This receiver could be filled over 10 minutes at a rate of 10 cfm which would reduce the previous system pressure differential by a factor of 100. Facilities having large fluctuations in air demand, or having insufficient air pressure (usually at the end of the line), should evaluate the need for one or more air receivers strategically located in the air distribution system.

    Question: A 23 metre pipe with an inner diameter of 80 mm shall lead a flow of 140 l/s. The pipe is routed with 8 elbows that all have a bend diameter equal to the inner diameter. How great will the pressure drop across the pipe be if the absolute initial pressure is 8 bar(a)? 8 x 1.3 + 23 = 33.4 meters
