Why is the Compressed Air Pressure Too Low

As discussed in this video, there are causes and solutions to situations where the compressed air pressure is too low for some factory applications.

All equipment that uses compressed air is designed to operate at a certain minimum air pressure entering that equipment.   If the pressure at the point of entry is too low, the equipment can slow down, not work as well, or cease to operate entirely.

One of the common things done, but which should be avoided, is to increase the pressure output of the air compressor.  This generally yields more pressure at the point of entry to the compressed air-consuming device.  But it increases energy consumption needlessly.

It is better to address the causes of where the pressure is being lost in the transmission of the compressed air to the air-operated device.   This can be many things as explained in the blog.

Nex Flow Air Products Corp. manufactures specialized compressed air products for blow-off, cooling, drying, and moving and provides accessories such as special filtration technology for improving compressed air systems and optimizing compressed air use.
