Elsevier Science present the latest edition of this comprehensive work on all aspects of compressed air. There have been many advances in hydraulic and electric technology in recent years, yet compressed air still keeps its place as an important medium for power generation, transmission, and control. Its versatility makes it the ideal choice for many applications for which no other form of power is as suitable. As in previous editions, the PNEUMATIC HANDBOOK covers the whole range of pneumatic engineering in one volume. It starts with the basic principles and properties of air and includes the theory of air compression, the principles of air treatment and the design of compressors, tools, machinery, actuators, sensors and valves. Low pressure and vacuum applications are also covered.
