{ "item_title" : "Air Compressor and Shop Equipment Maintenance", "item_author" : [" Talor Press "], "item_description" : "Air compressors run a shop, but most owners only learn how they work when something fails. This book explains the machine, the tank, the controls and the air lines in plain language, so you can keep them working, find faults in a sensible order and work safely around stored air. WHAT YOU WILL LEARNCompressor types and how to read a nameplate. How air demand is measured and how to match a compressor to your tools. How piston, rotary screw, vane and scroll machines work. What the tank, safety valve, drain and pressure switch do, and how to inspect them. How motors, belts, cooling and lubrication are looked after. Where water in the air lines comes from, and how drains, separators, filters and dryers deal with it. How piping, hoses, regulators and the filter-regulator-lubricator unit supply your tools. HOW THE BOOK WORKSThe book is arranged in ten parts and sixty short lessons. Each lesson has plain explanations, key points, a common-mistakes table and three quick-check questions with answers explained at the back. Drawings show the tank, safety valve, drive, dryer, air line and other key parts. Later sections add practice situations with model answers, quick reference tables, workshop projects, a final review test, a glossary and eleven forms and logs you may copy for your own workshop. SAFE PRACTICECompressed air stores a great deal of energy. The book covers lockout, venting, residual pressure, safety valve care, protective equipment and noise, and it states clearly where you must follow your maker's manual, local rules and a qualified technician. WHO IT IS FORHome workshop owners, garage and hobby shop users, small business owners, maintenance staff and students who want a practical, careful guide to shop air compressors and air systems. NOTEThis is a general educational guide. Typical values shown are examples; always use the figures on your own nameplate and in your own manual. Electrical, refrigeration and pressure vessel work belongs to qualified people.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/051/9798190517804_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "10.99", "online_price" : "10.99", "our_price" : "10.99", "club_price" : "10.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
