Compressed Air Applications Manual | Pipework design and installation
Example of a bending section calcula-
tion:
LDS = 20 m
∆υ = 20 k
Pipe = DN 32
LBS = C x √ LDS x α x ∆υ x d
LBS for PB = 32 cm
Distribution pipes
For the installation of distribution pipes
there is a choice of three basic layouts.
Ring line system
Ring line with cross pipes
Feeder branches
“Strategic” positioning of the shutoff
valves makes it possible to close down
individual zones of the distribution line
without interrupting the compressed air
supply elsewhere.
The distribution lines should preferably
share a carrier system together with
other energy lines. Laying the distribution
lines in or on the ducts of electric ca-
bles is the easiest and most convenient
method. There will be no interference
with the cables because plastics are not
conductive.
