Optimizing Air Tubing with Parallel Installation for Inflation System Efficiency

[Borja1055]

Hello all,

I am currently installing a 4 station inflation system. My problem is that i do not want to lower the systems pressure when one or two of the stations are inflating.

All 4 stations are fed by a global 120 psi feed. I want to maintain 5 gallons at 80 PSI at each station. To do this, I want to install a regulator with an 80 PSI 5 gallon reservoir at each station (4) to keep a volume of air at the pressure i need.

My question is, can i use only one reservoir to feed the whole system if i set up the tubing in parallel? If so, how would you set it up? Thanks

Hello there,

Thank you for sharing your problem with us. It sounds like you are trying to maintain a consistent pressure and volume at each of your 4 stations while still using a single reservoir. This is definitely possible, but there are a few things to consider.

First, you will need a large enough reservoir to hold the necessary volume of air for all 4 stations. In your case, you will need a reservoir that can hold at least 20 gallons (5 gallons x 4 stations). This will ensure that each station has access to the desired 5 gallons of air at 80 PSI.

Next, you will need to set up the tubing in parallel, as you mentioned. This means that each station will have its own branch of tubing connected to the main reservoir. This will allow the air to flow simultaneously to each station without affecting the pressure or volume at the others.

You will also need to make sure that the tubing and fittings are properly sized to handle the necessary flow and pressure. This will depend on the specific requirements of your system, so it would be best to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Overall, using a single reservoir to feed multiple stations is a feasible solution, but it will require careful planning and proper equipment to ensure that each station receives the desired pressure and volume. I hope this helps and good luck with your installation!
