The function of air filters is to remove all foreign matter and allow dry, clean air to flow without restriction to the regulator and then on to the lubricator.

Introduction

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit IV: Pneumatic and Electro Pneumatic Systems

The atmospheric air that is compressed in the compressor is obviously not clean because the atmospheric air contains many contaminants such as smoke, dirt, water vapour, etc.

Piston compressors are the most commonly used compressors in the fluid power industry.

Pneumatic and Electro Pneumatic Systems - Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit IV: Pneumatic and Electro Pneumatic Systems

A compressor is a device used to compress air (or any gas) from a low inlet pressure (usually atmospheric pressure) to a higher desired pressure level.

Learning Objectives, Introduction

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit IV: Pneumatic and Electro Pneumatic Systems

As we know the vast majority of pneumatic systems use compressed atmospheric air as the working medium.
