The generation of compressed air for industrial and commercial purposes in areas where compressed air is used as a source of energy requires what are known as compressed air generation plants. Compressed air generation plants are used to power machines in the mining industry, for pneumatic control systems in assembly facilities or as tyre inflation units at petrol stations. A central part of these systems is the compressor. Of the air by means of mechanical energy. The single-stage piston compressor and the drive unit together form a complete compressed air generation system. The drive is powers the compressor by means of a V-belt. A measuring nozzle at the intake vessel is used to determine the suction volumetric flow rate. Sensors record the pressures and temperatures in front of and behind the compressor. The pressure is also displayed on the manometers in the tanks. The air is sucked into the intake vessel, where it settles before it is compressed inside the compressor. To sSTa steady flow operating mode, the compressed air can be discharged over a blow-off valve with a silencer. A pressure switch with a solenoid valve for limiting the pressure And a safety valve complete the system.
