The compressed air system is an air path system that connects the air compressor, post-treatment, and gas equipment with pipes and fittings. Without pipelines, compressed air cannot be used in production. At the same time, pipelines play a crucial role in the application efficiency, gas quality, and cost of compressed air. Mainly manifested in the following aspects:
Firstly, the metal components contained in the pipe material can cause pollution to the compressed air when in contact with it.
Secondly, the impact of impurities (such as rust residue) after pipe corrosion on air quality.
Thirdly, the smoothness of the inner wall of the pipe will affect the transmission efficiency of compressed air, and roughness will cause pressure drop, resulting in energy waste.
Fourthly, corrosion at pipe fittings and welding joints will cause leakage and waste of compressed air, affecting system energy consumption.
Fifthly, the installation of manual labor and safety risks is a costly and high-risk task for high-altitude installation of traditional large-diameter galvanized pipes and seamless steel pipes.
Sixth: Compressed air containing oil, water, and impurities affects the service life of pipes. The service life of ordinary material pipes is much lower than the design value due to the influence of oil and water. In the production and operation process, the cost of replacing pipes and repairing leaks is not only the cost of pipes and labor, but also the cost of production.
Seventh, installation efficiency determines the cost of pipeline engineering. Firstly, hot work requires professional technical personnel, installation permits, and inspection and approval before it can be carried out. These labor and administrative costs sometimes exceed the cost of pipes. Secondly, the connection of pipe fittings also has a serious impact on installation efficiency, and convenient installation is crucial.
Eighth: Energy conservation and environmental protection policies require the construction of green factories and green production, which is the trend for industrial enterprises to move towards the future. Modern "green" factories should be matched with "green" pipelines.
With the intensification of industry competition, increasing demand for high-quality products, and policy pressure on energy conservation and environmental protection, safety and reliability, hygiene and environmental protection, and economic applicability will be the three major factors affecting the selection of compressed air pipes, and Yongjian thin-walled stainless steel pipes are almost the perfect combination of these three factors.
In short, stainless steel pipes are safe, reliable, hygienic, environmentally friendly, and economically applicable. The successful development of thin-walled pipes and new reliable, simple, and convenient connection methods make them have more advantages that cannot be replaced by other pipes. The application in compressed air system engineering will become more and more widespread.
