Improved Safety
Transair’s joining technology eliminates workers’
exposure to a potentially harmful work environment.
Typical reasons cited for choosing
compressed air are that it is a
clean, safe, simple and efficient
utility, producing no dangerous
exhaust fumes or other harmful
by products. It is equally easy to
store in purpose-built tanks, making
it ideal for use in areas where no
other power is available or practical.
Compressed air can be used where
other energy types would pose a
potential explosion hazard or fire
risk and it can also function at
extremes of temperatures, making
it ideal for the demands of a power
plant.
Innovative Compressed Air Piping Systems
For the power generation industry, Parker Hannifin delivers
quality compressed air for superior operational capacity.
In today’s power generation industries, compressed air is absolutely everywhere!
Whether you are involved in the transportation and distribution of natural gas to
the consumer, or in the production of electricity via fossil fuel burning, hydroelectric
dams or even nuclear fission, compressed air systems are playing a vital role in
ensuring plant reliability and round-the-clock operation. Over 70 percent of
companies use compressed air for some aspect of their operations’ and this is
certainly the case in the power generation sector where it is used extensively for
many different applications.
Transair is the ideal compressed air piping system for industries that demand
reliability, versatility, clean air and improved safety for the vast array of
applications within the power generation industry. Transair consists of high
quality quick connect elements that distinguishes itself through flexibility and
ease of installation, meeting the design and production requirements
of the power generation industry.
Transair’s quick connections Technical specifications:
eliminate the need to thread or • Maximum working pressure:
solder pipe, therefore, further 232* psi from -4°F to +115°F
eliminating the risks associated
with the use of flames. In addition, • Vacuum: 98.7% (29.6’’ Hg)
our products are lighter, cleaner • Working temperature:
and easier to install than traditional -4°F to +140°F
piping systems. • Pipe sizes:

certifications: UL94HB standard for 168 mm (6”)
the connectors and valves, UL94V-2 *Max. working pressure for 6’’ is 188 psi
for the fixing clips, and ISO 8030 /
EN 12115 for the flexible hoses.
Clean Air for Optimal Machine and Tool Efficiency
The low friction coefficient of aluminum pipe ensures clean air quality
throughout.
Compressed air is used in all types of power
generation plants. Compressed air is relied
upon to keep processes running. High
quality oil free air is the first choice in power
generation as a reliable source in these plants.
Downtime can cost thousands in lost
production and penalties.
To address the needs of critical applications
where air purity is essential, the ISO 8573-1
compressed air standard provides a
comprehensive measuring methodology.
All of Transair’s products have been tested
to conform to this air quality standard. This
confirms that Transair’s entire product
range delivers clean dry air.
Reliable, Economical and Certified
Transair significantly increases plant productivity by increasing
efficiency, reducing pressure drops, and eliminating leaks.
For the power generation industry, the air
quality is just as important as the compressed
air system’s overall reliability.
Piping selection directly affects the reliability
of any compressed air system in terms of flow,
pressure and air quality. Poor choices in pipe
materials, diameter, and layout cause flow
restrictions, which often results in significant
pressure drop. Pressure drop is a main cause
of increased energy consumption and under-
performing air driven tools and equipment.
Unlike the performance of steel and copper,
which degrades over time due to corrosion,
Transair provides clean air quality with
optimum flow rate performance. Transair
provides more air flow with less pressure
drop thanks to its smooth inner surface,
significantly reducing your operating costs.
If the pipe system itself is not designed for
compressed air, there is a good chance
that much of the costs associated with
commissioning the system and producing
compressed air are going out the window -
quite literally!
Conformance to the ISO 8573 -1 standard
illustrates our commitment to providing
clean dry air and the highest quality
engineered piping systems. Therefore,
Transair’s consistent clean quality air from
compressor to machines, ensures superior
longevity of equipment without frequent
changes of filtration elements. All while
providing optimal machine and tool
efficiency.
Transair delivers quality air exactly where
you need it, at the right pressure and at the
lowest possible cost, no matter whether the
project is an extension, modificaiton or a
new installation.
In traditional piping, such as copper and
steel, friction and leaks often cause pressure
drop between the compressor output and
the eventual point of use. However, the flow
characteristics of Transair’s smooth bore
aluminum pipe are crucial in helping to
reduce the pressure loss through the system.
The sealing characteristics of the fittings
guarantee a leak-free system.
Transair technology is well known for its high
quality and performance. Transair is certified
ISO 90001 version 2000 and operates a Quality
Management System in order to ensure the
level of quality and service that is expected by
its customers. Transair guarantees the safety
and quality of its products with certifications
by TÜV, Qualicoat and ASME B31.1 / B31.3.
Transair also conforms to European standard
97/23 CEE requirements (equipment under
pressure).
Parker Hannifin also warrants its Transair
products to be free of defects in material and
workmanship for a period of ten years from
the date of purchase of the products.
