Air Preparation in Pneumatic Systems (Part 1 of 2)

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture that examines air preparation and pressure management in pneumatic systems, discussing the operation of system components, such as pressure switches, regulators, compressors, and more. In the video, presenter Jim Pytel illustrates a simple pneumatic circuit schematic in order to discuss the operation of pneumatic systems and their components, with particular focus on regulators. Also mentioned in the video are accessory air preparation components and a brief comparison of pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

This video runs 20:28 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separately.
