Abstract
Nowadays, more and more industrial applications use pneumatic systems instead of hydraulic, electrical or mixed systems. This article presents the applicability of pneumatic engines for compressed air vehicles (CAV) from the perspective of their simulation on the Automation Studio software platform. It is desired to use the mechanical work produced by only pneumatic cylinders taken over by a mechanical system that transforms the linear motion into a rotational one, this helping to propel the CAV. A feature of this engine is the limited quantity of compressed air at disposal (a reservoir). Also, the most efficient operation of the pneumatic cylinders is studied to achieve the operation with low consumption of compressed air, thus leading to increased performances. The current simulation was run without the use of specific electric/electronic equipment (PLC /PACs). Therefore, the pneumatic devices had assured the command and control of the system.
