Compressed Air Systems
The information in this section is designed to provide some basic information about
compressed air systems and the use of digital inflation equipement.
Compressed air systems contain oil and water, it is important to filter and drain these
from the system.
The water is generated by condensation and oil can be carried into the line from the
compressor. A basic system is illustrated below. The components of this system are
as follows:
1.
Air compressor
2.
Air reciever tank
3.
Valves
4.
Filter & Regulator
5.
Condensate drain (Water Tap)
6.
Digital tyre inflator
Each system and installation of digital inflation equipement is different however it is imperative
with any system that the drain valves (No.3) are opened routinely to remove water that has been
collected.
Immediately prior to the tyre inflator (No.6) a regulator (No.4) should be fitted. This should be set
to 10psi, 70kPa or 0,7bar above the maximum set pressure of the unit. this will prevent excessive
pressure being supplied to the unit and the resulting error message Er4. Refer to section 4.0
Troubleshooting.
Also prior to the tyre inflator a filter (No.4) should be fitted. This filter should remove all solid
materials such as scale caused by corrosion inside the pipe and reservoir. Contaminants may
have an adverse effect on theinternal components of the
system due to blockage an corrosion.
