recycling compressed air
recycling compressed air
(OP)
Hi,
In work we have a bright ideas scheme. I have an potential idea but want to back it up if needed. We have hundreds of compressed air operated valves and have wondered how much air these use to operate. Once the valve has done its job the stored air is just vented to atmosphere. Is there a system around to capture this waste air and reuse it. I have searched google but not to sure what to look for. Any help would be grateful. thanks

..another point for discussion for your group. If 'hundreds of valves' are relatively small, relatively close together and relatively often operated, air will probably in a new constructed factory still be calculated as the best commercial/technical/economical solution over lifetime.
But nowadays an electrical solution will at least be evaluated and win more often than before against air as the most dependable/economical over lifetime. (Operating, maintenance and installment cost /divided by lifetime)
