Pneumatic Systems

Catalog description

This course is designed to inform students of the basics of pneumatics, while analyzing the advantages, disadvantages and inherent problems of this system. While incorporating safety principles, students will analyze the various parts of a pneumatic circuit for their use, which includes: examining the main parts of a pneumatic system, evaluating the characteristics of physical laws that apply to pneumatics, summarizing the laws governing pneumatics, identifying air conditioning and distribution equipment, adjusting pressure regulators to specified pressure, evaluating the characteristics and terms of pressure drop versus flow relationship, as well as the characteristics and terms of vacuum generation. Pneumatic safety principles will be introduced.
