Delivering efficiency from equipment room to point of use
When it comes to compressed air and inert gas distribution, the piping system is critical to overall performance. Even the most advanced compressor cannot deliver peak efficiency if air is lost through leaks or contamination. That’s why Atlas Copco engineers developed AIRnet, a turnkey piping solution designed to provide clean operation, ease of installation, faster return on investment, and long-term energy savings.
With decades of expertise in compressed air and gas systems, Atlas Copco created AIRnet to preserve the power of air. With services such as system layout resources, sizing calculators, point-of-use accessories, and various materials to choose from, AIRnet provides a full-service leak free solution for any industry.
The benefits of AIRnet
Leak-free reliability
AIRnet’s aluminum and stainless-steel pipes are corrosion-resistant and engineered to deliver consistent, leak-free performance. This reduces costly energy losses, optimizes customer processes, and ensures clean air reaches every application.
Future-proof design
AIRnet’s modular system makes future modifications, expansions, and upgrades straightforward, helping businesses adapt as production needs evolve. Standardized threaded and flanged fittings make AIRnet connectivity to existing and future expansions fast.
Precision monitoring with sensors
AIRnet fittings can seamlessly integrate with advanced sensors and monitoring technologies, including Atlas Copco flowmeters, as well as dew point and pressure sensors, to provide precise and reliable system performance insights.
Aluminum: fast, easy installation
Lightweight aluminum pipes combined with push-to-fit, torque-fit, and bolt-clamp fittings make AIRnet installations simple and efficient. Modular technology allows certified installers to complete projects quickly while ensuring long-term durability and future flexibility.
