Course Description
Compressing air produces heat, oil, and concentrated water. Before compressed air is distributed, it must be cooled, dried, and filtered. Once the compressed air is properly prepared, it is then distributed through an engineered network of pipes and fittings.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Explain the need for air dehydration
• List the devices used to remove water from the compressed air
• Define the need for air filtration
• List the types of air distribution systems
• List the materials used to construct a distribution system
• Explain the advantages of each system
• Explain how to size an air distribution system
• Define the primary types of air fittings
