After receiving a litany of abuse from fellow hot rodders and mechanics about my lack of pneumatic capabilities in my shop in the past, I decided once and for all that it was time to get real and set ...

Many plants do not view compressed air energy efficiency as their primary concern; in fact, many plant managers would willingly spend three or four times more on energy if it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using compressed air as a power adder (supercharger) is in vogue again! Younger readers may be wondering what we mean by this and argue that forcing super-cold, highly pressurized air into an engine’s ...

The growth of renewable power generation is experiencing a remarkable surge worldwide. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), it is projected that by 2050, the share of wind ...

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems offer a promising approach to addressing the intermittency of renewable energy sources by utilising excess electrical power to compress air that is stored ...

The VMAC G30+GEN air compressor/generator combines two convenient forms of power into a single, innovative system. Operators with VMAC’s rotary screw air compressor/generator combo on their service ...

Researchers have studied the potential of combining photovoltaic systems with compressed air energy storage (CAES) to power a commercial building in South Africa. They found that a co-optimized system ...
