Implementación del sistema de líneas de servicio de aire comprimido del laboratorio de tecnología industrial de la ESFOT-EPN.

Abstract

In this titling project, the service pipes of the compressed air network for the Laboratorio de Tecnología Industrial of the ESFOT were dimensioned. For the calculation of the internal diameters of the pipes, the Atlas CopCo method was obtained. This is because it is an effective method, easy to apply and its calculations can be used for the altitude of Quito. Subsequently, a single-line diagram was developed, with which the location of the different elements that make up the air network will be determined. The flow and pressure values were taken from the catalog of the compressor and pneumatic elements for the dimensioning of pipes. The diameters of the considerations were recalculated considering accessories and thus obtain the final diameter of the distribution pipes 18.85 (mm) and service 13.88 (mm). Finally, the plots were made in AutoCAD of the compressed air network where each section was observed, the calculation of pipes without accessories, the calculation with accessories (elbows, FRL, purges, etc.) and the diameter of the pipe selected from catalogs. The compressor was installed inside the machine room and the compressed air system was implemented considering the fall that the pipe must have, so that the condensate does not store inside the system and flows directly towards the purges. Once the system was implemented, performance tests were carried out such as: pressure, flow, leak and mechanical vibration tests of the compressor.
