Compressor selection and storage tank selection
Thread Content
Hello everyone: The pressure of the pneumatic valves on site is 0.6 MPa, the capacity of the actuator cylinders is 0.7 L, and there are a total of 120 of them； How to choose the compressor, air tank, and pipe diameter – these 120 pneumatic quick-cut valves can all be operated within basically 2 seconds. If there are any regulations in this regard, please let me know
Does the compressor only supply air to these pneumatic valves? If air is supplied only to the pneumatic valves, a simple calculation can be done: 120 pneumatic valves with a capacity of 0.7 L each result in a total of 84 L = 0.084 m3 ； The action is completed in two seconds, and the flow rate required for that one second is only 0.042 m3 = 42 L. For these pneumatic valves, you only need a very small portable air compressor (one with its own buffer tank); if you’re concerned about insufficient air supply, you can add a 600L air buffer tank as well.
