Air Distribution System
1. Air Take-off: Air is received from generation system through air take-off for
distribution. The air take-off is at the top of the main pipe to ensure
condensate remains in the main pipe, water take off from beneath the pipe
will flow into an automatic drain and the condensate will be removed when it
reaches a low point .
2. Auto Drain helps to drain out the remaining water produced from
condensation and must be placed at its lowest point to prevent water from
remaining in the tube.
3. Air Service Unit is a combination of Filter – Regulator –
Lubricator (FRL). Air service unit conditions the compressed
air to ensure the air is clean at optimum pressure and if
required, lubricant is added to extend the life of those
Air distribution pneumatic system components. The type of air service unit to
system be used is depending on application, it can be FRL or FR
type.
