In the following, our team will present how an AVENTICS™ Series AS2 Air Preparation Unit works, what components our team possess, how we use and the way we have installed them.
In the pictures underneath one can see the parts that together build our air preparation unit.
You can find the general brochure that includes all the general information about the unit here.
It contains a multitude of different pieces and sets that Emerson makes and in the next part, the UPBAir team will present its equipment.
The shut-off valve is used to power the system with compressed air from the tank or compressor.
Unlike a normal faucet, this aventics valve also removes the pressurised air from the system using a hole in the back of the module through a silencer.
A pressure regulator has the purpose of limiting the pressure at which the air is entering the system.
Using the black knob on the top, like a screw, the user can decide how much pressure to let into the system. The analog barometer indicates in real time the air pressure exiting the module.
The first such component we will present is the AVENTICS™ Series AF2 flow rate sensor, IO-Link R412027176. A flow meter (or a flow sensor) is type of flow instrument that is used to indicate the amount of gas moving through a pipe or conduit by measuring linear, non-linear, mass, or volumetric flow rates.
The way it can be assembled can be found here, while the instructions here.
