The discussion focuses on operating a pneumatic cylinder using a portable compressed air cylinder with a pressure of 10 kg/cm². The user aims to enhance the system's efficiency by integrating electric air heaters on both sides of the piston and within the compressed air cylinder. The relationship between pressure and temperature is highlighted, specifically using the formula p = kT, where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius plus 273. The user emphasizes the importance of managing pressure to avoid system failure.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, technicians, and hobbyists involved in pneumatic system design and optimization, particularly those interested in enhancing performance through temperature management.
P K Pillai said:I have a portable compressed air cylinder - pressure 10 kg/cm2 - powering a small reciprocating pneumatic piston/cylinder assembly.To increase the usage time of the system,I want to fit electric air heaters in the cylinder on both sides of the piston as well as in the compressed air cylinder.What will be the pressure increase with temperature?
