Clean Air is money in the Bank
, which rapidly wears tools and machines. Further, contaminants clog valves and orifices and cause air leaks, raising maintenance and operating costs. And condensed water and water aerosols corrode storage and distribution systems, damaging both production equipment and the end product. Water hazard

Vacuum and Pressure Handbook: Air Compressors
To keep you oriented as we discuss pressure, the basic concepts are treated in this sequence: generation, transmission, storage, and utilization of compressed air in a pneumatic system. This section covers air compressors, the devices that generate air pressure. Vacuum/PressureBook AIR

Pulling Money Out of Thin Air
are techniques to manage both the supply side (compressors and air-treatment equipment) and demand side (distribution, storage systems, and end-use equipment) of a compressedair system. They can save dollars while work continues at an equivalent or improved level. The most obvious source of "found money" from
