Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview Pneumatic power is widely used in industry in instances where pressurized air, more commonly called compressed air, is needed to do work and effect mechanical motion, which may be linear or rotary. Construction and mining industries, transport systems, diving, and dentistry are some worldwide applications for pneumatic power.
It is often the preferred system of use because of its availability and safety attributes. Although compressed air may be used directly from a pump, some sort of storage system is preferable.
Compressed air, which is a form of stored energy, is controlled and used in pneumatics. It can be put to a wide variety of uses such as hammer drills used in roadworks, dentists' drills, automatic doors, and so forth.
A source of compressed air, controlled by valves and helping output devices such as cylinders to operate in a controlled way, is involved in pneumatic systems. The compressed air is obtained from a compressor, driven by an electric motor or an internal combustion engine. Compressed air is routed through pipes to valves that control the flow of the compressed air.
Valves are normally operated by a range of actuators including levers, rollers and solenoids. The compressed air is then passed on to cylinders that convert the energy in the compressed air into linear motion for doing useful work. In the end, the compressed air is released into the atmosphere as exhaust.
The compressed air passes through filters and lubricators during the above process. The filters clean the compressed air and the lubricant added ensures that the equipment has a longer and reliable working life. To control the pressure available in the system, the compressed air may also pass through regulators.
The industrial infrastructure and production segment is dominated by pneumatic equipment and various systems based on pneumatics according to the examples given below:
• Pneumatic brake systems on trucks and buses use a type of friction brake. The compressed air in the friction brake presses on a piston, and then the pressure is applied to the brake pad, which stops the vehicle.
• Exercise machines can be built on pneumatic systems with a pneumatic cylinder creating resistance that can be adjusted with air pressure.
• Compressed air engines, also called pneumatic motors, do mechanical work by expanding compressed air, which is converted to mechanical action by rotary or linear motion.
• Pressure regulators are valves designed to automatically stop the flow of a liquid or gas when it reaches a certain pressure.
• Pipe organs produce sound by pushing pressurized air through pipes that are chosen by pressing keys on a keyboard.
• To put cables into ducts, a technique known as cable-jetting is a technique used. In this technique, compressed air is inserted and flows through the duct and along the cable.
• Letters are delivered by pneumatic mail systems, where delivery takes place through pressurized air tubes.
• Gas compressors are devices that increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
• For sealing drains and ducts in order to contain chemical gases or spills, to stabilize cargo within a container, or to float an artificial coral reef, a pneumatic bladder, which uses inflatable bag technology, can be used. These pneumatic bladders can also be used in medical research.
• Pre-compressed air is used in pneumatic guns as an energy source to put a projectile in motion.
• Gas-operated reloading provides energy to run firearms.
• Pneumatic tires are created with compressed air to inflate and form the body of a tire on a bike, car, or other vehicle.
• A handheld jackhammer is a tool that combines a hammer and a chisel and is usually powered by compressed air.

Chapter 2: Summary
Pneumatics work with compressed air to produce mechanical motion. Pneumatic equipment can be used in volatile environments where hydraulic and electric tools cannot be used.
Thus, pneumatic equipment is safer and is increasingly being adopted by end users for more and more industrial applications, thus making industrial pneumatic applications among the most widely used power technologies in modern industry. Systems based on pneumatic equipment are found in many factories, as energy produced by pneumatic equipment can be more flexible, less costly, more reliable, and less dangerous than some actuators and electric motors. Additionally, pneumatic equipment is easy to use, clean, safe, and quiet, creating better working environments and saving energy.
Pneumatic equipment is used worldwide in the construction and mining industries, transport systems, diving, dentistry, and many other applications. A pneumatic system is often the preferred system of use because of its availability and safety attributes.
The advancement of compressor technology has been promoted by increased awareness of energy expenditure savings and expansion of industrialization. Energy-efficient air compressors help in various industrial and nonindustrial activities.
It is anticipated that availability of such energy-efficient compressors will increase the demand for air compressors. This technological advancement works towards reducing noise and air contamination levels in the particular industries where the compressors are used.
Market growth will be aided by the improvements being made in the design and sealing technology for pneumatic actuators. There is vast improvement in pneumatic sealing technology with the availability of a range of composite materials such as synthetic esters, which extend product lifetime and reduce the costs of operating pneumatic actuators.
Also, new permanent lubricating materials such as synthetic ester have extended the life of non-repairable actuators. New application opportunities for pneumatic actuators have led to these technological advances.
Compressed air generation, air preparation, the distribution system, and compressed air applications are some of the numerous functions for a pneumatic system. Cost-effective and sensible improvements need to be made in each of these above functions to lower energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Although pneumatic actuators have been widely used in industry and other application areas, they generally have a low energy efficiency. Research on improving the energy efficiency of pneumatic actuator systems has been carried out and an improved control strategy has been developed for pneumatic systems that is based on an idea of saving energy through better controls that can save between 1.5% to 2.0% of compressed air.
One of the major benefits of pneumatic pressure regulation is the expected energy savings. Because pneumatic cylinder speed is governed by the rate at which compressed air exhausts on the non-load side of the piston, reducing non-load pressure permits higher piston speeds on the working stroke.
