Abstract


In order to improve the energy efficiency of pneumatic systems, this paper presents an algorithm for the devlopment and implementation of an energy efficient pneumatic control system with energy recovery of compressed air. Two different ways of forming closed pneumatic circuits that reuse already used compressed air are presented. Compared to traditional pneumatic control, significant energy savings are achieved.
