OHM’s Laws for current
OHMS LAW FOR CURRENT In order to turn air into compressed air, you need power. This power comes in the form of electricity: Alternating Current or Direct Current. Below we give a short introduction to the laws of Ohm. These laws introduce resistance in the relationship between current and voltage. What is Ohm’s law for direct current? [...]
What is air pressure?
UNDERSTANDING PRESSURE AND FLOW When discussing compressed air systems, pressure and flow are integral parts of how a system will utilise the air. Let's dive into the difference between the two and the nature of the relationship between pressure and rate of flow within a compressed air system. What is pressure? Pressure is [...]
Chocolate production relies on clean compressed air
Compressed air plays a key role in both the processing of cocoa and the manufacturing of chocolate. Modern cocoa processing systems use compressed air during pod splitting, fermentation, and drying applications. Compressed air is equally important in the manufacturing of chocolate in conveying, blending & mixing, moulding, and packaging. Compressed air is also used to [...]
