Abstract
Centralized control of a compression plant, in which the speeds of a number of large compressors are remotely controlled by pneumatic means, has been in full operation since 1955. In this paper are discussed the principal design features leading to the choice of pneumatic equipment, the application of which is illustrated by detailed descriptions of typical machine installations. Descriptions of the control-room layout and the means adopted for ensuring reliability of the compressed air supply are also included.
