Knowledge of a pneumatic circuit design begins with an understanding of the term

Cv is essentially a dimensionless number used to express the CONDUCTANCE VALUE of a pneumatic device.All fixed orifice devices in a pneumatic system have a conductance value and therefore a certain capability to flow.

Once the ID and the line length has been determined --- plus all the fittings equivalent length has been added, we can calculate the Cv of the CONDUCTOR.

Formula: Le’ = n K d”

Equivalent Length = number of fittings x K (feet) factor x ID (inches)

Formula: Le + Lc = Lt

The more significant the change in flow direction, the greater the restriction and therefore the greater the K factor.

Formula: Cv (port)= 23 x Ds

Ds = smallest I.D. in a port

To calculate Cv we need to determine the smallest I.D. (DS) of whatever component is in the port of the cylinder.

Reducing the port size with a bushing reduces the flow capability of the port.

The smallest orifice will determine the effective Cv .

The direct distance between the valve and the cylinder is 10’.

We choose to pipe the circuit with an additional 10’ (because it looks better).

If we used (8) 90 degree standard elbows (K=2.5) between the valve and

cylinder, it would have an equivalent length of 10’:

Le’ = nKd”

Le’ = 8 x 2.5 x 1/2” = 10’

We have penalized the cylinders’ speed by reducing the efficiency of the circuit.

By identifying the weak link, we can improve our circuit.

The most common way of adjusting a cylinder’s speed is with a FLOW CONTROL.

Loads on a CylinderLoads on a Cylinder On any cylinder, there are threeLOADS resisting movement. Thecylinder must overcome each load before it can extend or retract.

Let’s examine each load separately.

Cylinders, typically, must have some friction in sealing the piston against the cylinder wall and also the rod --- Load Lf.

Work that the cylinder performs is expressed as Le for extend and Lr for retract directions of movement.

The crucial load, however, is Lx --- the EXHAUST BACK PRESSURELOAD.

Dynamic Seals With LubricationFlow of O-Ring into Metallic Surfaces

“The theory has been proposed and generally accepted that the increase of friction on standing is caused by the rubber O-ring flowing into the microfine grooves or surface irregularities of the mating part. As a general rule for a 70º durometer rubber against an 8 micro-inch surface, the maximum break-out friction which will develop in a system is three times the running friction.”

Friction is always a factor with dynamic seals. Obviously, the more dynamic seals --- the greater the friction.

We can assume the cylinder has been sized properly to overcome the Le and Lr loads.

Lx --- the exhaust back pressure load --- is determined by the ability of the cylinder’s ports to allow exhaust to escape; the Cv of the cylinder.

Effective Orifice --- Effective Orifice --- Valves: Valves: As with cylinders, VALVEVALVE CCvv is determined not by the port

of the valve, but by the smaller orifice of the fitting in the port. Port Size (NPT)

Terminal Velocity: Terminal Velocity:

A jet engine takes air in, compresses the air with fuel, and then ignites the mixture.

At some point, air cannot enter the engine any faster. No matter how much more fuel is added --- the plane cannot go any faster.

The limiting factor is AIR FLOW, supply to the engine.

In a pneumatic circuit, the cylinder reaches TERMINAL VELOCITYwhen the air cannot enter and/or exit the circuit any faster. This occurs at

Conceptual View Point: Conceptual View Point:

The preceding two slides/charts are based on Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys. There were some slight differences between the 1990 and the updated figures for 1990 as published in the October 1991 report. Some variations also showed up when comparing the figures of National Business, Electric World, Pipe and Gas Journal, etc. with those of EIA. Since the deviations were minor (mostly due to independent rounding), we have reconciled all of them as to render uniform results. From a conceptual viewpoint and from the ultimate potential savings and increased productivity aspect, they have no bearing as the differences are miniscule.

Also, we have incorporated in these figures the fact that 1,033,100 BTU’s (EIA from utilities) is required to generate 100 Kwhrs of electricity (due to losses in conversion and transmission), while 300 Kwhrs are needed to produce 1,024,000 BTU’s of heat (1 Kwhrs = 3413 BTU’s).

Formulae: Formulae:

•Flow of electrons is very similar to flow of air molecules•Think of CONDUCTANCE as the reciprocal of RESISTANCE•Whose formula came first?

Those familiar with electricity will recognize Ohm’s Law.

In pneumatics, FLOW is represented by Q, T is temperature in Rankin, G is the specific gravity (assume 1 for air), P1
