Efficient Compressed Air System Design with EasyCAS – Powered by Direktin

Published on by Tyler DanielLeave a comment

When it comes to designing an efficient compressed air system, we all know the details matter. From nozzle selection and pipe sizing to pressure drops and force calculation, it’s easy for small oversights to add up to big inefficiencies. That’s why I’m excited to share some news that will help make designing with EXAIR products easier than ever.

EXAIR has officially partnered with DirektIn, the company behind EasyCAS, a powerful design and simulation tool built specifically for industrial compressed air systems. What does that mean for you? It means that many of your favorite EXAIR products: Super Air Knives, Safety Air Guns, Air Nozzles, Air Amplifiers, and more, are now available directly in the software’s component library.

EasyCAS is a comprehensive tool designed to empower engineers, facilities, and suppliers to design, size, simulate, and validate the design and efficiency of a compressed air system with data-driven guidance. Not only can it help you create and maintain a compressed air system from scratch, but uses data and monitoring to pinpoint areas of inefficiency and highlight solutions or products to address the problems. 

EasyCAS offers a great deal of other advantages as well, including:

  • Simulating pressure drops
  • Highlighting helpful components
  • Prevent downtime by identifying problems
  • Calculating air savings and carbon credits
  • Validate performance of your current system

and much more!

You can define line routing, pressure settings, and consumption points, then drop in components like EXAIR Super Air Knives or Nozzles and see how they affect overall system performance in real time.

One of the things I love most about EasyCAS is how intuitive it is. You don’t need to be a CAD expert or software engineer to use it! Just drag, drop, and adjust. Want to compare how much air a homemade drilled pipe uses versus a properly sized Super Air Knife? You can do that. Curious about how much pressure drop you’ll see if multiple Air Nozzles are fed from a single line? EasyCAS has you covered. It’s a great way to visualize pressure loss, flow distribution, and performance impact before anything ever gets installed.

EXAIR is proud to be the only supplier of engineered point-of-use compressed air products currently integrated into the EasyCAS library. That means if you’re designing with EXAIR, you’re designing with confidence.

It’s no secret, I’m a kid of the 80s. If you remember any of the three items in the title of this blog, then we may be able to be friends still, and I want to ask a question. How’s your sourdough starter doing? Okay, you got me, the blog isn’t going to be about sourdough, or one of my favorite TV shows from growing up, or the video game I always threw quarters into when we were allowed to spend some money at an arcade, but it’s going to be about Double Acting Reciprocating Air Compressors.

You may have heard from us about the many types of compressors before, and we would just like to make sure we have shared a few different viewpoints on these topics. The double acting compressor is a piston action compressor. Unlike the single action compressor, these will actually build pressure above and below the piston for each rise and fall, rather than just the rise. Because this generates twice as much air, these are generally found in larger sizes than the single acting compressors. This also means the compressor is constantly pushing a load out of the system whenever the motor is turning. While they do put more volume out and work with both directions of the piston, they have been found to only be around 32% more efficient than their single acting counterpart. Nonetheless, they are available in sizes that can supply an entire manufacturing facility and can be used efficiently when placed into a system that is designed correctly.

If you want to learn about more types of compressors, need help with your Konami cheat code, or what to discuss a point of use compressed air application, give us a call, chat, or email.
