Pneumatic Transmission of Energy
Pneumatic Transmission of Energy
The reason for using pneumatics, or any other type of energy transmission on a
machine, is to perform work. The accomplishment of work requires the application
of kinetic energy to a resisting object resulting in
the object moving through a
distance. In a pneumatic system,
energy is stored in a potential state under the form
of compressed air. Working energy (kinetic energy and pressure) results in a
pneumatic system when the compressed air is allowed to expand. For example, a
tank is charged to 100 PSIA with compressed air. When the valve at the tank outlet
is opened, the air inside the tank expands until the pressure inside the tank equals the
atmospheric pressure.

Air expansion takes the form of airflow.
To perform any applicable amount of work then, a device is needed which can
supply an air tank with a sufficient amount of air at a desired pressure. This device
is positive displacement compressor.
