For manufacturing, repairs and overhauls, the aviation industry uses compressed air as the primary energy source to power their equipment. When manufacturing aerospace parts, contamination control must always be front of mind. Lubricated compressors that use oil as a lubricant can pose a serious threat to compressed air, since the fluid can mix in with the exhausted air. For this reason, the experts at Compressed Air Systems (CAS) recommend working with oil-free air compressors, which help ensure contaminant-free air.
Use of compressed air in the Aerospace industry include:
- Aircraft engine manufacturing
- Aircraft wing structural testing
- Ground support equipment
- Test bench supply
- Workholding devices
