Air Pipeline

An air pipeline refers to a system of pipes used to transport compressed air from a compressor to various equipment or points of use in an industrial, commercial, or even residential setting. Air pipelines are essential for distributing compressed air across an area, ensuring that tools, machinery, and systems that rely on compressed air can function effectively.

Key Components of an Air Pipeline System

Compressor The source of the compressed air, which pumps the air into the pipeline at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure.

Compressor

The source of the compressed air, which pumps the air into the pipeline at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure.

Air Receiver Tank

A storage tank that helps to stabilize the air pressure and remove moisture from the compressed air before it enters the pipeline.

Pipes

The main conduits through which compressed air travels. These pipes are typically made from materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, or plastic.

Piping Materials

Steel Pipes Strong, durable, and resistant to high pressure, but may corrode over time.
Aluminum Pipes Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install.
Copper Pipes Resistant to corrosion but more expensive than aluminum.
Plastic Pipes (e.g., PVC or PEX) Corrosion-resistant and cost-effective but not suitable for high-pressure applications.
