Compressed air, often referred to as the "fourth utility" alongside water, electricity, and natural gas, has a long and fascinating history. Its journey from simple, ancient tools to sophisticated modern systems illustrates its importance and versatility.Ancient Beginnings and Early Concepts The concept of compressed air dates back to ancient civilizations. Around 3000 B.C., the Sumerians used basic bellows, which were hand or foot operated air pumps, to increase the intensity of their fire …

As winter sets in, air compressor systems face tough challenges due to cold temperatures, especially when the thermometer dips below 40°F. These low temperatures can really affect the performance and reliability of compressed air systems, so it's important to understand and prepare for the potential impacts. Oil Viscosity Issues One major issue in cold weather is the thickening of compressor oil. As temperatures drop, oil viscosity increases, leading to a decrease in lubrication efficienc …

Moisture can be a huge problem in compressed air systems, as it can lead to corrosion, freezing, and reduced performance. Here are some steps you can take to remove moisture from compressed air:Use a compressed air dryer: One of the most effective ways to remove moisture from compressed air is to use an air dryer. Compressed air dryers use a variety of methods to remove moisture, such as desiccant, refrigeration, and membrane separation. It is typically most efficient to install your air …
