This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240302850 titled 'Shared Compressor
The patent application describes a system with a compressor that receives air from a source and supplies compressed air to two different systems using control valves to regulate the flow of air.
- The system includes a compressor that receives air from a source and supplies compressed air.
- A first system and a second system receive the compressed air.
- In the first control mode, a first control valve blocks the flow of compressed air to the first system, while a second control valve allows the flow of compressed air to the second system.
- In the second control mode, the second control valve allows the flow of compressed air from the second system to a dryer, and the first control valve allows the flow of compressed air from the dryer to the first system.
Potential Applications: - Industrial air compression systems - Pneumatic tools and equipment - HVAC systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient distribution of compressed air - Control of air flow to different systems - Integration of a dryer into the air compression system
Benefits: - Energy savings through optimized air flow - Improved performance of pneumatic systems - Reduced maintenance costs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Compressed Air Distribution System for Industrial Use" This technology can be used in manufacturing plants, automotive workshops, and other industrial settings to improve the efficiency and reliability of air compression systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure proper distribution of compressed air to different systems? - The system uses control valves to regulate the flow of compressed air to the first and second systems, ensuring efficient distribution.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this advanced compressed air distribution system? - The system can lead to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs, resulting in overall cost savings for industrial users.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system includes a compressor that receives air from a source and is configured to supply compressed air, a first system that is configured to receive the compressed air, and a second system that is configured to receive the compressed air. in first control mode, a first control valve blocks flow of compressed air to the first system and a second control valve allows flow of compressed air from to the second system. in a second control mode, the second control valve allows flow of the compressed air from the second system to a dryer along, and the first control valve allows flow of the compressed air from the dryer to the first system.
