What is an Air Header?

An Air Header is a central distribution manifold or header used in compressed air systems to split the flow of air from a single source to multiple outlets. It serves as a distribution hub that ensures each connected device, such as valves, cylinders, or tools, receives the necessary air pressure and flow. Air Headers are used in various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, power generation, and more, where compressed air is a key utility for operation.

How Pitambara Engineering Air Header Works

The Air Header is typically installed at the point where compressed air is supplied to a system. It connects to a compressed air source (such as an air compressor) and distributes the air through multiple outlets. Each outlet is connected to pneumatic equipment like valves, actuators, or tools. The header ensures that the correct amount of air is delivered to each device, and it can include pressure regulators to maintain a consistent flow and pressure.

The air entering the header is often pre-processed (filtered, dried, or regulated) to ensure optimal performance of connected equipment. The header design allows for easy integration of various components, such as shut-off valves or monitoring devices, to ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.


Applications of Pitambara Engineering Air Header

  1. Manufacturing and Automation:
    • Used in factories and automation systems to distribute compressed air to various machines, tools, and robotic systems.
  2. Chemical and Petrochemical Industries:
    • Air Headers are critical in processing plants where pneumatic control systems are used for valves, actuators, and material handling.
  3. Power Plants:
    • In power generation, the Air Header is used to distribute air to various instruments and control systems, ensuring smooth operation of turbines and valves.
  4. Pharmaceutical and Food Processing:
    • Compressed air is used for packaging, conveying, and controlling processes. The Air Header ensures the efficient distribution of air in these industries.
  5. Construction and Maintenance:

  • Precautions for installation
  • Applications
  • Features
  • During installation, tank shuld be completely empty.
  • There should be no objects which shall hinder the float.
  • Ensure that the float position inside the tank should be such that agitation on it will be minimum.
  • The position of mounting nozzle should be far away from the liquid fill pipe to protect the float from damage and faulty readings due to turbulence.
  • Ensure that tank structures / fittings do not come in the way of calibrated gauges boards
  • Instruments required- Welding machine, combination/crimping plier, spanner and adjustable.
  • Even with large changes in liquid density, the immersion of a large diameter float will change very little, thus density has little effect on accuracy.
  • Float systems are simple and easily understood.
  • Even if the primary requirement is the transmitted signal, local indicators can continue to operate, even on loss of power.
  • Simple
  • Low Maintenance
  • Economical Measurement Solution
