	AIRBOOSTER.COM - COMPRESSED AIR SAVINGS
		Unfortunately, most compressed air systems are inherently inefficient, converting less that 20% of their energy input into useable compressed air.
		Consequently, reducing unnecessary compressed air usage and improving the efficiency of the compressed air systems themselves are excellent energy-saving strategies.
		Compressed air is often used because it is believed to be convenient, safe, and labor-saving.

	Compressed Air (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		At a pressure of 100 psig (7 bar), compressed air serves as a utility.
		Air Motors, Vacuum, and Other Auxiliary Devices: Air motors are often used as a power source in operations involving flammable or explosive liquids, vapor, or dust, and can operate in hot, corrosive, or wet atmospheres without damage.
		Compressed air is also used for the pneumatic transportation of materials, such as substances in granular, chip, pelletized, or powdered form and liquids where inertness is not required.

		The moist compressed air enters the bottom of the active tower and moisture within the compressed air adsorbs onto the surface of the desiccant.
		Compressed air is one of the most expensive energy sources in the plant environment, so it makes sense to conserve it.
		Quick exhaust valves are used to increase the actuation speed of cylinders by directly venting the exhaust air at the cylinder port instead of forcing the exhaust through tubing to the valve and through it’s exhaust port.

	Compressed Air Safety
		Compressed air must not be used under any circumstances to clean dirt and dust from clothing or off a person’ s skin.
		Compressed air lines should be identified as to maximum working pressures (psi), by tagging or marking pipeline outlets.
		Air tank safety valves should be set no less than 15 psi or 10 percent (whichever is greater) above the operating pressure of the compressor but never higher than the maximum allowable working pressure of the air receiver.

	Treehugger: What About Compressed Air Cars?
		The compressed air technology (CAT) engine is used whenever the car needs lots of energy (to start up and accelerate), and the electrical drivetrain is used to maintain velocity and cruise, requiring a lot less power overall than an all-electric cars.
		Of course, air cars will only be as clean as the energy source used to compress the air that powers them, but it is a lot easier to clean up that process than to clean up the internal combustion engine.
		The air is compressed using a small motor, powered by a 48-volt battery, which powers both the air compressor and the electric motor.

	Compressed Air (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Air in the caverns is pumped up to 1000 pounds per square inch (mean sea level air pressure is 14.7 psi).
		When electricity demand is high, air is released from the caverns and used to generate electricity (1).
		The released air is heated by natural gas in a combustion chamber and then passes through high-pressure and low-pressure expanders to power a generator, which in turn generates electricity.

	OPTIMIZING PULP & PAPER MILL COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS
		An investment-grade compressed air audit, analysis, design, and upgrade in an industrial facility requires a thorough understudying of original design basis, current problem definition, goal settings, load assessment, base case model development, and an ability to conduct unlimited "what if" analysis to determine the cost-effective efficiency improvement measures.
		As usual, the compressed air utility was expanded on as-needed basis, but without optimizing electrical energy consumption of various compressor units that were partly loaded, under utilized and poorly designed as an integrated utility system.
		The total design capacity of six compressors was 4,137 ACFM at 100 psig, the compressed air load was estimated to be 3,675 ACFM and the upgrade plan was based on the average compressed air use of 3,300 ACFM.

	Define compressed air - a definition from Whatis.com
		Compressed air is a gas, or a combination of gases, that has been put under greater pressure than the air in the general environment.
		Another product that uses compressed air is the so-called "air car" currently in development by several manufacturers, and expected to be on the market within the next few years.
		Compressed air in spray cans (sometimes called canned air) is often used to clean things that are especially delicate or sensitive, such as keyboards or the inside of computer cases.

	Air Hybrid Vehicle Study at UCLA Engineering School (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Like its cousin the electric hybrid, air hybrid vehicles are being explored as a more fuel-efficient means of traveling the nation's roads, especially in urban areas, where stop-and-go traffic leads to a wasteful use of gas.
		To make the air hybrid design work, Tsao introduced a few clever modifications to a traditional 2.5 liter V6 engine, including a valve design that allows the engine to not only burn fuel more efficiently, but to compress and expand air captured during braking as well.
		As the car speeds up, the engine is used as an air motor to drive the vehicle until the compressed air is depleted, at which point the engine is switched to conventional combustion mode and begins burning fuel.

		They have two functions: to compress ambient air and refill the storage tanks; and to make successive expansions (reheating air with ambient thermal energy) thereby approaching isothermic expansion.
		The engine is idle when the car is stationary and the vehicle is started by the magnetic plate which re-engages the compressed air.
		While the car is running on fossil fuel, the compressor refills the compressed air tanks.
