Industrial Air Compressors and Compressed Air Systems
Designing and commissioning a compressed air system is a tricky minefield to navigate. Even expanding an existing system to meet new demands is not as simple as many others would have you believe.
Compressed Air Systems Built Around Plant Demand
Pye-Barker supplies industrial air compressors, dryers, filtration, condensate-management equipment, Unipipe distribution piping, AWA outdoor equipment enclosures, controls and supporting components for manufacturing and process facilities across Georgia and Florida.
A compressor should be selected as part of the complete compressed air system. Required flow, pressure, air quality, duty cycle, storage, treatment, distribution piping, controls and future demand all affect equipment performance.
How We Help Select an Industrial Air Compressor
Define Flow, Pressure and Demand
The review begins with required airflow, operating pressure, shift patterns, peak demand, production changes and how compressed air is used at the point of application.
Confirm Air-Quality Requirements
Moisture, oil and particulate limits help determine compressor technology, dryers, filters, drains and condensate-treatment requirements.
Review Duty, Cooling and Installation Conditions
Operating hours, ambient temperature, ventilation, available utilities, equipment-room layout, maintenance access and redundancy can influence the practical system design.
Evaluate the Complete Compressed Air System
Receivers, piping, pressure loss, controls, sequencing and demand-side restrictions should be reviewed with the compressor so the system delivers stable pressure and usable air.
Compressor and Air-Treatment Options
Equipment should be matched to the duty and required air quality.
Rotary Screw Compressors
Oil-flooded and oil-free rotary screw compressors from 5 hp to 500 hp for continuous and variable industrial demand.
Reciprocating Compressors
Air-cooled reciprocating compressors from 1 hp to 30 hp for intermittent demand and specific plant applications.
Compressed Air Dryers
Refrigerated and twin-tower regenerative dryers selected around dewpoint, capacity and operating conditions.
Filtration and Condensate Management
Filters, mist eliminators, automatic drains and oil-water separation equipment for air quality and condensate control.
Controls and Monitoring
System controls, sequencing and monitoring options that coordinate equipment with actual plant demand.
Compressed Air Distribution Piping
Unipipe distribution piping selected around plant layout, flow, pressure loss and future connections.
