Safe and Reliable Distribution of High Pressure Air
The Fine Art - High Pressure Air Distribution Systems
|
| Standard Components for High Pressure |
High pressure gas is used in a multitudeof industrial applications.
The design ofa safe, efficient distribution system for ahigh
pressure gas is critical to the successfuluse of that gas for a
particularapplication. BAUER has over 60 yearsexperience in the
design and manufactureof distribution systems for highpressure. We
have a reputation for providingsafe, reliable, user-friendly
distributionsystems ranging from simplepanels to complex systems
controlledby a PLC and with touch-screen operatorinterface.
Standard and customdesigned systems are available.
Each high pressure distribution systemis carefully designed to
include pressureindicating devices and safety, isolation,vent and
drain valves as required. Allpanel mounted devices are clearly
identifiedwith labeling. More complex systemsinclude a schematic
diagram aspart of the labeling for operator reference.
BAUER manufactures industry-leadingdistribution systems for several
marketsincluding SCBA cylinder refilling andgas-assist injection
molding.

| Standard Components for High Pressure |
BAUER uses only quality components that aredesigned specifically
for high pressure applications.All components are appliedwithin
their design parameters andinclude a safety factor of up to 4 to 1.
We maintain a complete inventory of high pressuretubing, tube
fittings, instrument pipe fittings,full-turn and quarter-turn ball
valves, gauges,regulators, manifolds, hose, couplings,
reducers,adapters, relief valves and other miscellaneouscomponents.
Our design staff carefully reviews eachapplication to provide a
distribution system with thefewest possible components. BAUER pays
particularattention to safety, so every distribution systemdesigned
by BAUER includes a safety relief valve.
Hose and Tubing
For permanent installations, BAUER recommendsthe use of seamless
stainlesssteel tubing. All tube runs are supportedto prevent the
transmission of vibrationthrough the tubing and to the restof the
system. For temporary installations or where flexibility
isrequired, high pressure hose can be used withsuitable end
connections.
The use of hose shouldbe limited to clean, noncorrosive
environments andwhere it is possible to inspect the hose
regularlyfor deterioration. BAUER recommends replacingall high
pressure hoses annually or as recommendedby the hose manufacturer.
Hoses must be replacedimmediately if wear or deterioration is
evident orsuspected.
Regulator with Flexible Hose
Some applications require only a simple regulatorand a flexible
hose to connect to the point of use.BAUER high pressure hose
assemblies are completewith a pressure gauge, manual shut off valve
andmanual vent valve to facilitate venting the hose whennot in use.
These systems are ideal for cylinderfilling applications where
cylinders are rotated fromthe point of use to the refilling area.
For example,cylinders for paintball guns can be filled directly
fromthe compressor or from storage.

Pressure Regulation Panels
BAUER can design simple regulation panels ormore elaborate
regulation panels for use withsingle or multiple cylinders or banks
of storagecylinders. All regulation panels include, as aminimum,
pressure gauges for inlet and outletpressure readings at the
regulator, a safety reliefvalve for the regulated pressure and a
manualshut off valve on the outlet to the point of use.
Custom panels can include multiple regulators,e.g. a high pressure
regulator and a low pr
