Researchers from Canada have analyzed the performances of an aboveground compressed air energy storage system (CAES) with both an experimental setup and a numerical model. A quasi-steady-state ...

Keith Barron from Atlas Copco Compressors advises plant managers to give priority to pressure and flow when specifying compressed air systems in order to optimise performance and energy consumption.

Compressed air is critical in many industrial and nonindustrial applications, including powering pneumatic tools and conveyor systems, cleaning equipment and airfilling amusement park objects. While ...
