Air Systems - DUO-FAST DF350S Manual De Funcionamiento

AIR SYSTEMS

For air-powered tools to work their best, the air
supply system must be properly installed and
maintained regularly. A drawing in this section
shows a properly installed air supply system.
Handy checklists for installing and maintaining
air supply systems follow.
Indoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
All pipes supplying air have a large enough
■
inside diameter to ensure adequate air supply.
The main supply pipe slopes down, away from
■
the compressor (1/16 inch per foot).
Air storage is provided along lengthy air lines.
■
Pipe line branch outlets are at the top of the
■
main pipe line.
Cutoff valves are provided at each branch pipe
■
line throughout the system.
Water legs extend from the bottom of each branch
■
line.
A refrigerant-type dryer is installed on the system.
■
Air hoses are kept as short as practical.
■
A regular maintenance program is followed.
■
Outdoor Air System Installation
-Be certain that:
A moisture trap and a filter/regulator/lubricator are
■
installed at the compressor.
Air hoses and fittings are large enough so that air
■
flow is not restricted. Minimum hose size is 3/8
inch ID with 1/2 inch ID hose used for any
application over 25 feet.
Air hoses are not longer than 150 feet.
■
The air system is lubricated regularly.
■
A regular maintenance program is followed.
■
Filter/Regulator/Lubricator Units
Filter/regulator/lubricator units that can supply
enough air and protection for Duo-Fast tools
must meet the following specifications:
Minimum 3/8 inch NPT port size .
■
50 micron or fine filters.
■
Regulated pressure from zero to 120 psi.
■
Lubricators designed for low or changing
