This detailed reference explains the production, transmission, and practical use of compressed air, with a special focus on mine service.
In its revised and enlarged second edition, this book guides engineers and technicians through the principles, equipment, and practical considerations of compressed-air systems. It includes expanded material on theory, machine design, tests, and real-world applications, backed by illustrations and practical examples.
The coverage helps readers evaluate machinery, plan installations, and optimize performance—from compressors and receivers to piping and motors—making it a valuable resource for professionals and students alike.
- Foundations of compressed-air theory and its practical calculations
- Design, operation, and testing of air compressors and stage systems
- Applications in mining, rock drilling, and mine service
