First, thanks for looking past such a bad pun and reading on – it’ll be worth your time. If someone told you that they had developed a faster, easier and more efficient way of doing things, you’d probably listen but with some admittedly measured skepticism. There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.
But, in the spirit of nursing you through your Olympic hangover, the Atlas Copco AIRnet aluminum piping system truly embodies the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger. The lightweight aluminum and polymer fittings used in this compressed air piping system install in one-third of the time compared to a similar iron piping configuration, thanks in large part to connectivity that doesn't require any threading, welding, cluing or clamping. System modifications and tap-ins to the ultra-smooth inner aluminum surface piping are also simple and can be performed in less than five minutes. Better yet, the tight joints of the AIRnet system minimize air leaks, resulting in less pressure drop and, by association, reduced energy costs by virtue of less energy being used.
Take a look at this five-minute video. In it you’ll see how an experienced independent contractor named Patrick fares in a side-by-side test that pits a conventional iron piping installation against the Atlas Copco system in the AIRnet challenge. How much faster and easier do you think the AIRnet system will be? Are you up for the challenge?
