d) Manifolds with closely spaced connections. These can be easy to ignore when a leaking
fitting is difficult to access.

e) Flexible hoses with cuts and splits caused by strain and abrasion.
Couplings with damaged seals. Grit may have been picked up during the break and
Make process.
f) Drain valves found on air receivers, drip leg drains, filters and other equipment can
Become stuck open due to pipe scale and sludge or even intentionally left partially open
To avoid the maintenance routine.
g) Pneumatic components including tools, valves and actuators are all subject to worn and
Damaged seals resulting in leaks.
12) Its always good to operate air compressors with respect to plant pressure need through
sequence controller.

Secrets to run the compressed air system efficiently and cost effectively, lies in
achieving the following Measures of:

1. Reducing Air Leaks

2. Improving End Use Efficiency by use of quality quick release fittings, air blow guns with air
saver nozzles, installations of proper moisture separators and proper slope for circuit pipings
from generation point to end user points, it.

3. Reducing System Air Pressure

4. Effectively Using Unloading Controls

5. Adjusting Cascading Set Points

6. Reducing Run Time and

7. Adding Primary Receiver Volume.
